Hello List,
The profiling application CoPrA has an internal Edit-Modus, which is
quite similar to Kodak Colorflow. Please note, that CoPra has modules
for creating and editing both printer profiles and devicelink profiles.
I will explain the workflow for editing printer profiles which is a
integrated part of the CoPrA printer profiling module.
CoPrA includes special edit charts which are able to record color
manipulations with an image editor like e.g. Photoshop.
- You combine this edit chart with images of your choice and print it
linear with a printer, which you have already profiled
- You than open the edit chart with embedded printer profile in e.g.
Photoshop. The result is a softproof of the linear printer
(Alternatively you can use the photoshop softproof function to simulte
more complex profile chains during edits...)
- You can now use alle Photoshop tools to manipulate the colors of the
whole editchart
-(e.g. adjust gray balance, do some selective color corrections, use
layers or masks/selections based on color range...)
- The manipulated edit chart with the embedded printer profile is than
imported into CoPrA
- CoPrA extracts the embedded printer profile an renders the Photosop
corrections into all tables of the profile
(It calculates the new profile from scratch with its own profiling
engine...)
The description of this feature in CoPrA is a little bit misunderstanding:
http://www.colorlogic.de/help/?p=2471&lang=en (shows also an example of
the editchart (top) combined with ISO SCID Images)
The whole process can be tested with a demo version of CoPrA. Please
note that this demoversion creates encrypted printer profiles which can
be used only inside the CoPrA demoversion to convert image files. The
converted image files of the CoPrA demo version can be saved and used
with other applications.
Just ask a colorlogic dealer to get a demo:

clickable logos)
Best regards
Jan-Peter
By the way, I asked colorlogic if they plan to offer the edit function
for printer profiles as a separate licencable module. As nobody has
asked colorlogic till today, they donĀ“t offer it today....

Kodak use to make a product Called Custom Color Tools. Does anyone know if they still make it and does it work with OS 10.8.2? And if not, does anyone know of a program that can be used to tune ICC profiles. I have ProfileMaker and Monaco but they're not working to well with new Mac OS. I've checkout i1Publish on demo mode and didn't see any tools for editing profiles like in ProfileMaker or Monaco.
Thanks for the help.
Jim
