I always get confused with these names. Does Profile Editor make input

YES:

Chris Heinz has always kept up with us. Whether or not Kodak will/would
want
to promote their color management further to non integrated system
users is
to be seen.
Chris Heinz was one of 2 people who turned my eye back to Kodak's CMS. I
saw a Kodak at a Seybold Boston Digital Imaging Conference 1998 I think.
I am not sure if Chris is still with Kodak. If Chris didn't know the
answer - he sought it out. Kodak has a very good tech support. It's
email primarily. Not my favorite (talking to a person feels much
better), but I get my answers (typically good ones). Sometimes, tech
support has to go out and get the answers. Either case I have not yet
experienced a problem, (I am a "want it yesterday person when I am
working").
Can you edit a profile with other vendors private tags?
Absolutely! If Kodak software can not see the profile then the profile
is not an ICC compliant profile. typically, if Kodak Tech Support or a
Software Engineer reviewing another application hears or has trouble
with seeing the others CMS's profile then they are likely to contact the
other manufacturer and let them know.
The Profile Editor GUI is something from the days of MacOs7.5, so more
than
a little dated. Made essentially for their dye subs first, but of course
usable for other ICC profiles/DLinks.
Maybe you haven't seen a later version.
Which program from Kodak edits the input profiles again?
Input Profile Builder
Profile Editor
Andrew had often said that the Kodak ColorFlow is a very good and
efficient
way to edit profiles. I'll agree, from what I can tell it's a nice way
to
stay within Photoshop and edit under a 'normal procedure', save out the
edits, and a modify profile, and finished.
I prefer not to make my corrections in PhotoShop. But hey that's me.
Profile Editor is not a plugin to PhotoShop. Custom Color allows this
procedure. Profile Edit Color Tools are very good. Not to mention you
can go back and change your original edit(s), without correcting over a
correction. Very fast very simple.
They would want to update the GUI though and compatibility for the
current
Os's if not just in the sake of marketing newness.
As can anyone else for that matter. No argument from me. I like simple
and easy and bug free. Maybe I will go out and wash my 88 Volvo wagon
today, out of appreciation for what it does do for me.
Joseph
