Perhaps that explains why they recommend working in, and converting from
ColorMatch. However the whole procedure doesn't inspire confidence, also
because their supplied profile has an internal/external name mismatch.
Unfortunately since other methods have yielded unimpressive results, I'm
forced to utilize their workflow and make the best of it somehow.
Us content providers attempting to get on board with this technology,
learning just enough to implement it, seem constantly thwarted by
publications and others who are now years behind the curve. This forces
me to constantly reconsider traditional submissions until things move
along a bit, frustrating.
Thanks for your input Chris, the 5000k comment was a clue.
