One must within one's program translate the color picture (be it TIFF, PICT2,
etc.) to the "original" Mac color model.  Refer to IM-1.

As a good friend of mine put it, it's "blecherous".

Those of you who have Photon Paint for Macintosh know that it also does
color ImageWriter printing, and I believe was the first color paint program
to do so (as well as being the first 32-bit color paint program).
