Am I incorrect in thinking that this kind of Lightness/Luminance
mapping detracts from the accuracy of the transformation in an effort
to "improve" the final output? Isn't L* fixed? (L*17 in device space =
L*17 in PCS - in the AtoB tables)
Everyone keeps talking about comparing the gamut of the source device
to the gamut of the destination device. Isn't the gamut compression the
responsibility of the BtoA tables and the rendering intent?
I can't decide if you're proposing that the CMM make the choice of
rendering intent for the operator - based on the relationship of the
source and destination color spaces,
OR
if what you're proposing is really the arena of abstract/edited
profiles a la ColorBlind Edit
OR
if this is geared to repurposing.
Also, it seems like gamut compression is less of an issue than gamut
expansion (if that's an appropriate expression) in this conversation.
