Re: Neutral profile goals

2005-05-26 by Louis Dina

John,

My approach is to let my "neutral" profiles favor the color of the 
paper white somewhat.  So, for a bluish white paper, I will skew the 
entire profile slightly to the cool side.  For warm papers, I skew them 
slightly to the warm side.  These are not huge color moves, but subtle 
moves.  As you approach paper white, you move toward its color and I 
prefer to work with the paper, rather than having a profile that is 
dead on neutral until it reaches paper white and shows a shift.  Others 
may prefer a different approach, but this works for me.
