Afternoon,
Here's a scenario that's been puzzling me for a while. Let's say I take
a spot reading of a sheet of white paper using an Eye-One spectro using
PMP ColorPicker, assuming the Adobe RGB 1998 colour space, and get
roughly:
R: 250
G: 240
B: 215
Not surprisingly, paper isn't neutral, nor is it white. If you create
that "colour" in PS then send it out to the same paper using a
calibrated and profiled setup, you end up with a grey image. I'm
missing something, for sure, cause in my mind, you should get *nothing*
printed as you're printing the paper's colour. Intent is relative,
black point compensation.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Derek Cooper
