Re: Calibration Mode - Weird issue with 10-ink separation image

What kind of weird results were you getting?

As I said somewhere in that thread, it is possible to create a layered TIFF that simulates the split, and then fine-tune the split by varying the layer opacities. But as the effect of the toning is quite subtle you need a very precise and accurate soft-proofing environment in order to see the effect of the split on your monitor in a way that accurately predicts what you'll see in a print. For this approach to work, you also need test images, and the choice of image can have a bearing on the split you end up with.
