Re: Grayscale profiles with ABW Dark or Normal

2008-11-15 by Tyler Boley

theoretically there should not be a difference, although I often find
there is with this kind of topic. It's not Photoshop that is supposed
to compensate, it's each profile.
It's worth looking closely though, one setting with it's appropriate
profile may to do more heavy lifting to correct than the other.
Carefully check dark near black shadows to make sure everything is
separating as it should.
