>> In any case, color management really just comes down to the device color space definition and the document color space definition - that allows a color management system to map document color to device color in a consistent way. The rendering intent and color mode are the only additional controls we are supplying.
>> Common elements like brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation are generally not used with ICC-based color management systems - the transforms depend too much on the document color space - and I wouldn't want to add them as general document processing elements.
