Re: In a Bind on Large Format B&W: advice?

2004-03-06 by chipcarterdc

Another related question: How do we like the Atkinson profiles for 
B&W?  I odn't have a 9600, so I've never used them.   Given that the 
particular prints I'm thinking of will only be displayed in constant 
lighting conditions known to me beforehand (I don't know exactly what 
yet, but I do know that the primary illumination will be artificial 
given the layout of the office), I'm assuming that metamerism will be 
less of a problem than if the prints were potentially moving between 
lighting sources or if the lighting source was unknown.  So, I'm 
thinking that maybe my short term dilemma could be solved by the use 
of a good profile.

So: anyone reasonably content w. using the Atkinson profiles for 
B&W?  If I'm not as concerned about metamerism in this particular 
situation as I normally would be, is this the way to go?  Oh, and 
what lighting source (tungsten, daylight,etc) are the Atkinson 
profiles balanced towards?
