Edmund,
A year or two ago, I had the chance of testing a deutch package
called
ProfileProphet. It supported the Avantes Spectrocam and only used,
if memory
serves, 40 some patches. I didn't follow it up but it was
promising. So, can
profiles built from low patch counts? I'd say why not.
Hi Roger.
There must be a lot of assumptions upon which to base the creation
of a
functioning profile if the color space being profiled is sampled
only in 40
or 60 nodes.
Not to be too philosophical about it, reality (printing included) is
more
nuanced than assumptions about it. So, I have a hard time believing
that the
assumptions could work *as well* as an actual set of measurements of
a much
higher number of nodes. They may work "pretty well", or even
"surprisingly
well" -- but *as well*?
spoken like a pessimist and someone who obviously hasn't tested the
newer options, at least the one that uses 100 sampled "nodes".
Yes, it can be as good (*as well*). More than one person on this list
has said so!
But this opinion is based on actually testing both processes, not
guessing which is superior/inferior. And as I indicated, this is based
solely on one type of output device so YMMV.
Of course, I recall older software technology using smaller sampling,
even from the same company who's profiled sucked. Having an open mind
and the product, its refreshing to see that indeed, technology can
march forward and indeed, we can produce excellent quality profiles
with few samples. That said, this is a dual, iterative process.
