Yep, I know, but Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, don’t even manage to produce software without capitalization errors in the file references of their code, meaning that their software – the Adobe CMM included – does not run on case-sensitive file systems, which I use on OS X.

And instead of fixing these bugs, this brain-dead company builds installers that refuse to install their software as soon as they detect a case-sensitive file system. Go figure.

So unfortunately, I cannot run any Adobe software whatsoever (well, except Lightroom and DNG related apps).

My focus was on ColorSync compatibility, anyway. I just tried to make my patch as universally usable as possible, but it will be up to people who can and want to run Adobe software to confirm that cmsFLAGS_SLOPE_LIMIT_32 adequately emulates the Adobe CMM.
