The patches chosen on a MacBeth like target are pretty much "full" colors, we really need lighter versions of those colors to really get to know what is going on.

Spoke too soon! I see he has a fairly large target for the color images, can't see the B/W target yet because he has a layer on top that I can't remove with the tools at my work PC.
