Re: [Digital BW] Re: Question for Paul R. Regarding his Custom ACV Files

2010-02-11 by robtmckay@aol.com

I've been doing some detective work and have narrowed the problem to the  
ICC profiles I made yesterday. What I said earlier is NOT correct, after 
another  test print I find the profile I made earlier for the Premier Art B/w 
still works  fine. 
 
One thing I recall that was different about making the "flawed" profiles  
yesterday:
 
When I initially opened the "rgb-raw-16.psd" file in Photoshop to place the 
 ACV curve on it, the little image was already yellow colored, NOT gray / 
black  like it was when I first opened it when making the PA BW profile. 
After I  placed the ACV curve on it, it turned yellow. But when I opened it to 
make the  profiles yesterday, it was already yellow when I first opened it 
and after  placing the ACV curve on it I saw no change.
 
Other than that, I cannot think of anything that was different in the  
process of making the profiles.
 
Could this be my problem? If so, what do I have to do to the  
<rgb-raw-16.psd> file to get it back to it's original configuration?
 
Thanks,
 
Rob

It sounds like a  setting issue or software issue. When I apply a curve to 
a file that I forgot  to convert to RGB from GS it looks like that. Try 
rebooting and recheck the  settings. Also, a calibration curve might show if 
there is a printer problem  than is escaping detection in a nozzle  check.
