This question is about making custom profiles and determining if
they are correct.
Here's the back story.
I have the "economy" solution, the CV profilerPro software and a colormouse.
My general procedure is read the patches, make the profile, printout
the PDI target and
use doctorPro to do an edit or two.
Typically the bright yellow in the target prints on the green side
so I use selective color
to take cyan out of the yellow.
Then the PDI targets look good, in fact the consistency across
papers and inksets is
quite amazing.
Then something like this happens.
I just did a series of botanical prints for a photographer and there
are many greens in the
images, the profile is forcing the yellower greens to yellow.
Fortunately I still had the original unedited profile and that more
or less worked, with another minor tweak.
Is my procedure adequate ? Should I be testing with more/different
targets ? Is selective color not
a good approach to an edit ?
Inquiring minds want to know.
The thing about profile editing, especially profile editing using the
same package that was used to create the profile in the first place,
is that it's generally limited to improving some are of the color
reproduction at the expense of another area. I think you just ran
into that.
