I am still having problems profiling UT14 to Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper, particularly with setting the default ink limit and getting blocking up in the blacks. I'm thinking I may be having a problem linearising the profiles. In order to get my head round what is going on I have been checking the 21 Step Wedges I was using, one is a tif in the Eye One folder, and the other was from Paul Roark's website; http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/21-Step_GG22_L5.tif (marked for Gloss Paper). Both of these show to not be linear in values for the graduations. Values I get (% and on 255 8Bit Luminance Scale) are; Black 100% is 100% (0), 95% is 98% (5), 90% is 92% (19), 85% is 87% (33), 80% is 81% (48), 75% is 76% ((62). The Luminance values do not match the figures on Paul's test strip. I have also checked a 21 step wedge from Keith Cooper's site, this does match the % values. Have these wedges been created with a conversion factor to open up the blacks in linearisation? Have I been using the wrong wedges? Which wedge should I use for linearisation? Is there a problem occurring in Elements when I open the images? Might there be something else I am doing wrong? Should I get my camera, enlarger and darkroom kit back from whom I gave it to? regards Ross
