We focus on fine art reproduction and our workflow in Photoshop 6.0 would
be as follows:
we measure very critical colors of a painting or drawing with a
spectrophotometer and read their Lab values - then we try to adjust these
specific colors in the digital file of the artwork usually acquired with a
high res digital scanback camera (even with the best ICC profiles some
colors have to be tweaked and adjusted because of some pigments metameric
properties)
When we select the appropriate ICC output profile in the softproof /CMYK
preview mode the Lab values unfortunately remain unchanged.
Is this a bug? Is there a workaround in order to match the paintings Lab
values to the RGB file in CMYK preview/softproof mode?
Thanks
Stefan
