Thanks, Andrew!
I will see how the final print comes out, but I have an Iris proof under my eyes that the guy who also made the films
just made, and comparing side by side with some prints that I made from my Epson 2000P with different settings, the
print made on your recommendations is the best match and actually darn close if not perfect ! (There are small
differences between the Iris and final results anyway).
I converted the SWOP file to the Standard Epson 2000P profile using Abscol.
Then I choose *Doc. Epson 2000P St.* and *Printer color management*
and in the advanced options, ColorSync and the custom ProfilerPro profile, with colorimetric intent.
The result seems good enough for a good evaluation of the final print.
Thanks again!
Paul

Since the release of Photoshop 6 I have BPC on all the time.
