Guys
We've recently had a couple of profiles made by a friend who uses Kodak IPB 4.
We are aware that the black and white points of the scanned IT8 should measure at about 5 and 250. But whatever the endpoints of the IT8 are set to when scanning, say as extreme as 245 and 15 when the scan is checked in Photoshop, the profile always maps the data right up to 0 and 255 when we profile to profile the IT8 scan to test the profile. Is this a Kodak IPB 4 feature?
No matter how large the destination workingspace [even tried Kodak ROMM] I find that in at least one channel a small amount of data is being apparently clipped since it rests at 255 or 0.
I had expected IPB to map to 5 and 250 say for data integrity, it is a rare occasion when a file needs to have black and white at 0 and 255.
I was considering buying ProfileCity's own scan profile generator, anyone tried it please??
thanks
