Hello ColorSync users - How does one go about linearizing an ICC profile
that has been edited?
I hope that you have linearized the print process through its own means
before doing the profiling process. This is the best way to get a complete
linearization and stable color over the long run.
Is the edit (a simple
output curve) a seperate component of the profile?
Yes, the linearization is a seperate component within Coloblind's data, but
not within the profile itself.
Even if you re-linearize via Colorblind, the linearization feature alters
the individual CMY values evenly. A complete linearization should also
balance the CMY in addition to making even lightness. Bear in mind that this
feature in CB was created to address print systems that have no
linearization tools.
So, the bottom line is - linearize the print process before profiling to set
yourself up for the long haul.
