<One of the huge limitations of the ICC approach is that it matches color one pixel at a time. That's not how we view images.
The profile precalculates the same compromise for every image-it ignores the image content and just pays attention to the spaces in which they reside. That's fine for blowaway cards or widgets on white seamless, but it leaves something to be desired for high-end work.> Are you suggesting that the image be converted RGB->Lab->CMYK via an ICC profile and then retouched in CMYK, or using some other means to perform the conversion all together…perhaps a linked RGB->CMYK approach? I’m vaguely familiar with the concept Mike Ornellas brought about of prebinding workflow/color “tweener”…but too vague to understand how it would work. Couldn’t part of Carlo’s problem be “pushing the color to the limits” while the wide space of Pro-photo, and then seeing what happens to it in CMYK? mike
