No consolation when you’ve got the image maker, who often isn’t the client, crying in the viewing booth :(
This is a real problem when clients are used to you being able to pull problematic images, fix them up and replace them seamlessly and economically in most jobs.
With 51 you have to reject all the images and then hand out a fact sheet on how they have to shift to perceptual (even if it looks different in Photoshop) and, even then, it still won’t boost the yellows (or reduce the magenta in our case) in the same way that non-Photoshop workflows do.
I know, but is this really any different from all the other difficulties customers presented you with before this? What happened when they converted to ISO Uncoated or an IFRA news profile and posterized some colors by using rel col instead of perceptual? Why not ask them to use the older ISO Ctd v2 and you take it the rest of the way—and ask for original RGB images when they have them? And get or make some decent device links with better highlight scaling? Mike
