Re: [Digital BW] ICC v. Transfer Function in Epson driver

2005-10-18 by Clayton Jones

Hello Paul,

>I hope my tutorial helps those who want to do it via eyeball.

It looks real good, thorough and clearly explained.  I think it will
be very helpful for beginners (and starving artists <g>).  It's clear
a lot of work and thought went into it.


>...ICC approach...PS Elements can use them and not Transfer Functions 

This is one advantage of using adjustment curves in the image (a
choice you mentioned in the tutorial) rather than TF curves.  Another
is that while developing the curve any changes can be seen on screen,
so you have some idea of what effect you're having.  With TF curves
you have to make the next print to see what you've done.  I found in
the long run that using adj curves saves much time, ink and paper, and
I finally stopped using TF curves altogether.

Regards,
Clayton
