would be nice to have the possibility to check for ICCbased Gray.
I had the requirement to intentionally convert ICCbased Gray elements to CMYK so that the blacks don´t look so “dull”. So I needed the check to identify all gray element including the icc based ones.

Hm, looks like an oversight that this doesn’t exist as a check indeed, but you can still create what you want I think. How about a check that:

  • Looks for ICC-based color spaces
  • Looks for number of color components = 1

That should do the trick, no?

yeah I figured that out as well, but still would be nice to have it like the way you can do it with CMYK and RGB. I know a lot of people who would not come up with this solution by their own.

Jup, makes sense and I agree - I made a note to add it (and a check for ICC-based Lab as we’re at it). Thanks!
