I just experienced a peculiar thing with Linocolor...
I've generated a Newsprint profile, and have tweaked the CMYK to Lab part of
the profile (the Colorimetric rendering intent), to be able to make a more
accurate softproof in the scanner.
Then I set out to scan an image in Linocolor, and set it to simulate (and
output) in CMYK. But when I do a prescan in Linocolor I can't detect any
change in the preview. On the final scan everything looks just fine though.
Then I made a different edit to a copy of the profile on the Perceptual
rendering intent, and now the prescan was fine, but the final scan was
without the visual tweak.
So the conclusion to this is that Linocolor must use perceptual rendering
intent (cmyk to monitor) for prescans, and Colorimetric for final scans.
Does anyone have a clue as to why they would do this???
