Can anyone explain the significant difference between V2 and V4 icc
profiles? Or perhaps point me to a website with a decent explanation?
I know V4 profiles are "newer" and supposedly better, and everyone I've
ever talked to says save out your profiles as V4 unless you have a RIP or
application that you know can't handle them, but what real advantage is
there to V4 profiles?
The reason I ask is that I sometimes use Kodak Custom Color Tools to edit
my profiles (V4, made with Monaco Profiler), and I recently got the latest
version of the "Custom Color ICC" photoshop plugin (Mac intel native),
and it apparently won't work with V4 profiles. The 3.2 version of the
plug-in, which only worked on PowerPC Macs, worked fine on V4 profiles,
but the new plug-in is kind of buggy I guess and whenever I try to export
a profile I get an "Illegal Lut Data Format" error. Kodak support being
what it is, I may have to choose between V4 profiles and profiles I can
edit Using Kodak Custom Color Tools. Maybe someone has some experience
with this as well?
So what am I losing when I save my profiles as V2?
