It can have an effect. In the other modes the colors are mapped
relative to the media white point.
I would say it shouldn't have an effect... The tables are computed and built
as relative during profile creation; after that, the wp should only be used
to bring them back to absolute when abscol rendering is requested. If relcol
is requested, they should be used as-is.
This is true and a good point...
Isn't that the idea?
However, it hasn't proved true for me in the past either... More than once
I've seen the wp tag influence the relcol rendering.
Different for each CMM, of course :(
This is what I have also seen at some times. I guess it remains a bit
of a mystery. I think you are probably right about the CMM playing a
role..

Steve
