ProfileMaker is out of my price range for now
Given its price/performance ratio, I wouldn't recommend it anyhow. As
far as scanner profiling goes and as long as you stick to IT8.7
targets, it's identical to EZColor, anyhow.
and I think i1Match may be as well.
The (very high-quality) i1 Match scanner module, OTOH, is a complete
bargain at 100 Euro (don't know US$ out of my head) *IF* (and of
course that's a big IF) you own an i1 Pro.
Do they offer an evaluation period that I don't know about?
Not that I'm aware of. (For the Mac Life review, I was provided with
test versions from the manufacturers.)
An overview of profiling packages on the Hutchcolor site makes a
similar point about Monaco scanner profiles:
Good to know.
Performing this test was quite an effort, and although I tried as hard
as I could, given the complexity of the factors involved, I could
never be 100% sure that I didn't overlook something. So it's always
good if the results are confirmed by completely independent sources.
Converting to working RGB from a Monaco scanner profile can blow out
highlights if you use Perceptual, and can look a
little dark if you use Relative. (This of course can be adjusted in
Photoshop.)"
Color conversions that I *have to* correct in Photoshop are not
exactly my idea of working color management, though ... ;-)
Out of curiosity, I made some profiles from the reflective targets
and reference files that Robert Rock posted to the list recently,
then I calculated DeltaE.
I couldn't find the profiles you refer to, but some values surprise me
- the bad max value of Argyll as well as the incredibly good values of
inCamera.
This was delta E calculated against the targets the profiles were
built from, was it?
(And "Monaco" referred to EZColor?)
