Henrik,what's the deal? It HAS to be able to edit input
profiles.
No Henrik is just against monitor editing.
According to the ICC specification
a. scanner and camera profiles are type scnr are INPUT profiles,
b. monitor type mntr and printer / press type prtr profiles are
OUTPUT profiles.
LinoColor 6 edits input profiles and output profiles.
As the manual says, choose the simulation color model and simulation
ICC profile in the image window, make the necessary LCH edits and
with the LCH dialog window still open chose File > Save Modified
Output Profile (type mntr and type prtr) and Import > Save Modified
Calibration (type scnr).
I hope this helps, but please don't ask which tags are being edited
for scanner (: input) and monitor (: output) profiles, how it works,
or why it doesn't if it doesn't. I just don't edit monitor profiles
like I don't edit RGB working spaces. If I wanted to edit the white
point of a monitor profile, I would do it in PM3/4. I can't do it /
don't know the way to do it in LC6.
With LC6 you can have the color corrections done by the
ColorAssistant automatically built into a modified profile, but you
can't edit all the tags. Other tools let you edit specific tags, but
you can't have automatic color corrections done which are then built
into a modified profile.
I still like the Eye-One Match approach best because it matches the
underlying workflow we're best off with. Calibrate the device,
characterize the device with a test chart, autobuild an ICC profile
and have it autoinstalled in the system ICC profiles folder. Editing
profiles makes their behaviour specific to certain other profiles,
and that leads into the same ditch as device link profiles.
Optimize the behaviour of the device including the gamut volume,
create a profile for that, and match away. But start tweaking and you
have to start tracking, and life is already complex enough as it is,
no? ... -:).
