You know, had Andrew written a paragraph like that -- or even just the first
sentence and omitted the second -- this whole flamefest never would have
happened. It's his conflation with "close enough" and "absolute unquestionable
imperceptible perfection" that gets my dander up....
The rest of your post rings perfectly true...but may I throw in a "REALLY!?"
Am I reading you right that you're working on a printer than can go below L* =
2?
If so...can't wait until your work hits the streets!
(And what's the chroma like down there? I'd bet a cup of coffee -- but no more
than that -- that it's not stunningly neutral...so how dark does it get on the
neutral axis?)
Also...I've mused in this thread to the effect that a perfectly linear printer
wouldn't need a LUT profile, that a matrix (or even shaper) would do the trick.
Or, if you need LUT for software compatibility, you would only need the bare
minimum number of patches.
Sounds like you and everybody else are aiming for that level of
linearization...but how far away is it in reality?
