Re: Soft proofing cold paper

2008-11-17 by Tyler Boley

the continuing and constantly changing but never diminishing mysteries
of color management, there may be no perfect solution.
By the way, I've had this wind up displaying very yellow in some
browsers or apps, for no apparent reason. The massive bulbous brains
on the colorsync list ignored my alerts and went back to who has the
biggest pocket protector, so I don't know what's up there.
The solution, if this happens to you, is first convert to a nice bigs
space (ARGB or whatever) with Absolute Colormetric, the once more to
sRGB with Relative. I know I know, but it worked. Coverting in PReview
worked to, but that's a Mac app.
