Thank you for your response. I have just done some preliminary testing using
your recommendations. There appear to be different groups forming with respect
to profile behaviour 's effect on the info pallet readings, but Absolute is
more frequently the strategy that produces the most credible results.
I have to say though this challenges my understanding of rendering intents,
and since everything I know of their behaviour I learned from either Real
World Photoshop 7 or Colour Management , I feel like I failed the test and may
have to stay after school.
I understood that the only difference between relative and absolute rendering
intents was that absolute doesn't remap the source white point to the
destination space and therefore shows differences in colour temperature from
one space to another. So wouldn't then, absolute manage dynamic range
conversion in much the same as relative?
Thank you for your kind assistance
