WMU Profiling Review 1.0
This is to tell you of a report we have done on profiling software to be
presented at the TAGA Technical Conference, Asheville, North Carolina, April
14, 2002.
1) Here are the results for quality of the input (scanner) profile. Lower
Delta E is better.
Product Delta E
LinoColor 2.1.0 1.02
Gretag PM 4.0 1.02
Gretag PM 3.1.3 1.06
Monaco Profiler 4.0 1.10
Fuji ColourKit Profiler 2.2 1.28
ColorSynergy 4.5 2.86
Kodak ColorFlow 2.2.1 8.27
Monaco Profiler 3.2 8.33
Generic Scanner Profile 29.37
2) For the full report (that also includes a similar test for monitor
profiles) send me an e-mail with just the words "WMU Profiling Review
Request" in the subject line. No apostrophes.
3) Along the way we discovered a serious bug with Photoshop and the ACE CMM
and Apple CMM. The input profile can now have A2B0 (Perceptual),
A2B1(Colorimetric) and A2B2 (Saturation) tags. In the input profile, vendors
are starting to put different information in each of these. When using
Convert to Profile in Photoshop 6 the Apple and ACE CMM always use the A2B0
tag even if the user asks for Colorimetric or Saturation. This is not what
is expected. Thanks to Monaco Systems for help in sorting this one out. The
bug is fixed in Photoshop 7.
4) Printer profiles and digital camera profiles are now under similar test.
5) If we have left anybody out (I know we have!) please send me your product
to be included in the next revision, due out in May.
