Re: [Digital BW] Create ICC Soft Proofing question . . .

2005-10-24 by Steve Kale

I don't know for sure but it should simply read the wtpt tag in the profile
and then map monitor white to that media white.  There is no "amount of
simulation tag" that I am aware of so I suspect ProfilerPro simply edited
the wtpt tag or something similar.  It's not part of the LUTs and so editing
wtpt may not affect anything else.
