I don't believe so, and that isn't what I see in testing. I filed a bug for this yesterday. My understanding, which may be flawed, is that using a 'device' colorspace is a pledge that you know that your color components are already with respect to the colorspace of the destination, so require no further color correction. The generic colorspaces are device-independent. int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) { uint32_t pixel = 0; CGColorSpaceRef genericColorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateWithName(kCGColorSpaceGenericRGB); CGColorSpaceRef deviceColorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB(); CGContextRef ctx = CGBitmapContextCreate(&pixel, 1, 1, 8, 4, genericColorSpace, kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast|kCGBitmapByteOrder32Host); CGFloat components[4] = {(CGFloat)0xaa/0xff, (CGFloat)0xbb/0xff, (CGFloat)0xcc/0xff, 1.0}; pixel = 0; CGContextSetFillColorSpace(ctx, deviceColorSpace); CGContextSetFillColor(ctx, components); CGContextFillRect(ctx, CGRectMake(0, 0, 1, 1)); uint32_t deviceColorPixel = pixel; pixel = 0; CGContextSetFillColorSpace(ctx, genericColorSpace); CGContextSetFillColor(ctx, components); CGContextFillRect(ctx, CGRectMake(0, 0, 1, 1)); uint32_t genericColorPixel = pixel; printf("Expected same result for device:%#X and generic:%#X fills\n", deviceColorPixel, genericColorPixel); CFRelease(genericColorSpace); CFRelease(deviceColorSpace); CFRelease(ctx); return 0; } On Fri, May 30, 2008 at 9:52 AM, Alastair Houghton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 30 May 2008, at 02:21, Ken Ferry wrote: > >> Well, if you use CGContextSetRGBFillColor as you said, then that sets >> a device RGB colorspace up as the fill colorspace, and device >> colorspaces don't do color matching.
