Re: [Digital BW] Profiling with Dedicated B&W Inks

2008-12-12 by Cdtobie

The other thing to keep in mind is that our product's goal is to build  
ICC profiles. A few users would also like to take spot measurements,  
so we include options for that. And a few older Programs still use  
density values instead of Lab values, so we even added a function for  
that. But the number of people who tinker in the black and white  
profiling area is smaller still; this list represents the majority of  
them. So that has not been a major focus of feature development,  
though I've tried to offer what I can.
