No, no, no and no: the snow and the cold killed the spring bugs very
much like a first round knockout with no goals and one point. So it's
actually been quite pleasant in the north midwest. Thank you very
much.
And Tony can attest to this because he writes:

I believe! I believe! Hallelujah! I believe.
In turn I dumped a lot of my old postings and url stuff at this
office, but Steve Marsh did post this a while back:
ftp://ftp.photodisc.com/TechResources/ (PDI target in question)
http://www.thelawlers.com/essays.html (Brian Lawler has some vector
gray and CMYK EPS steps etc)
http://www.brucelindbloom.com/ (Bruce Lindbloom has his CG test target)
http://www.picto.com/ (virtual LAB Macbeth chart)
http://www.gain.org/servlet/gateway/publications/processcontrols.html
(notfree, look for the PDF catalogue).
At one point I had close to 15 targets for testing. It became
confusing so I trashed most of them. I currently use a Pantone CVC
PDF chart which I built in Illustrator, cut and pasted into InDesign
2.0 and made PDF. More often than not the PDI Target, a rip generated
linearization target and the Pantone CVC PDF Chart tell me all I need
to know to get rolling. Not a lot of time these days.
What I would really like is to find time to build a 'PrintGamutView'
lab document with similar characteristics to the GamutView PhotoShop
PlugIn or a simulated tristimulus. Creating custom in and out of
gamut targets containing thousands of 2d visual steps would be ideal.
But what would be the ideal application for creating this? And
vector? raster?
