Relative colorimetric rendering will map Adobe RGB 255,255,255 to paper white, and move all the other colors relative to that white. With absolute colorimetric rendering you might get the measured color coming out as paper white, but I wouldn't be totally surprised if you got something else instead.

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,
