Does anyone know if the info pallet can be used to show the true L* (
luminosity) values after file conversion to an RGB output profile?
After converting a file to its output profile using "convert to profile",
the info pallet continues to perform virtual conversions using the colour
settings. Even after loading the exact same output profile as an RGB
default space, the info pallet continues to vary the L* numbers it
displays with changes to the colour settings. I have no idea what it is
considering source and destination in this virtual scenario.
When, if ever does the info pallet simply read the lab values in the look
up table of an output profile , as it does with an RGB work space, without
performing a virtual conversion?
Since the info pallet is the poor man's seeing dog. This is understandingly
frustrating.
And, would this mean that the only viable way to correlate data and density
in Photoshop, would be to chart the RVB signals of the output devise which
the info pallet displays more reliably with densitometer readings of printed
patches?
Any advice or help understanding would be appreciated.
