As I said in my review, I believe that Gimp-Print is already fully
functional to the same standard as proprietary drivers. With
Quadtone RIP, Roy demonstrates that but this functionality can
achieve enthusiastic adoption by the less technical photo user
community, provided it is encapsulated.
As far as I'm concerned, with a user perspective in mind, a
user-friendly way to do linearization and ink curves would be a
MAJOR contribution at this time to Gimp-Print - in particular it
woudl allow anyone with a spectro to create a base settings
configuration for a paper/printer combo, which ICC profiling could
then polish. I think that Color Management consultants would jump
on the chance to create custom configurations for their clients as
this provides an additional venue of differentiation.
Roy, could you supply at least a rudimentary but user-friendly way
to do linearization and ink-curves? It would be good to be able to
start from a standard set of spectro readings. A curves editor
might be easily appropriated from the GIMP or even done in
Javascript. I know that I was remiss in not looking how it's done
in Quadtone RIP, but then I was lazy, and you supply some very nice
canned settings.
If I'm being unrealistic, please educate me !
I think this is a perfectly good approach, and I'd welcome contributed
linearization curves as well as a friendly way to do it.
