maybe then both, as providing a highres-image for download must also be 
possible.

yes InDesign might not be that fast, but you're able to style the 
catalog individually, apply conditional text-formatting, drop-shadows, 
alpha-masks etc and do some fine tuning afterwards ;) So it depends on 
the requirements, the layout and the needed visual quality what solution 
is better. It was just an example anyway ;)

if color channels got properly tweaked, then yes - if only converted to 
CMYK there's no difference if it's pre-converted or if the RIP (raster 
image processor) is doing it.

I think we should move the discussion to the dev-list - there's already 
a topic created by Stefan.
