LAB Grayscale Update??

2005-01-15 by ldina

Roy, I was curious if you found the LAB Grayscale profile effective 
and if you updated your original profile?

I'm probably missing something, but it seems this would have to be a 
generic profile by its nature.  If used for viewing the tonal range 
on a monitor, how would it be able to differentiate between a high 
gamut glossy paper (like Kirkland Glossy which can hit an L* of about 
6) to lower gamut matte paper that can only display an L* or about 
20?  

Seems to me they would both display the same, but the output would be 
very different.

If you have found it effective, I'd love to know how you use it and 
how you handle different paper types.  I'd also like to get your 
latest profile if your results are positive.

Thanks, Lou
