Working on Mac 9.2.1, PhotoShop 6.01, ColorBlind MatchBox + 4.0
We call these *children* Device Link profiles. Taking two or more profiles
and combine them into one ICC profile. Unfortunately very few software
programs recognize or support DL profiles. Get a version of Gretag's iQue
product and can use DL profiles. As for creating DL profiles there are a
couple programs that can do this, but a shameless plug for Steve Upton is
due, look at Chromix's ColorThink for quick and easy DL profile creation.
