Proud new owner of PFP results and times

2006-03-07 by Johnny Eades

Hello Folks,

I started the printer profiling at 08:47 EST and ended the entire
process at 10:48 EST and am now evaluating the results. I haven't
printed one of my images, but am evaluating the test prints which are
part of the package. I don't detect visible difference in the
Saturation and the Perceptual prints, but I'm guessing the test images
were created under pretty near ideal conditions; which is not often
the case in the real world I photograph in. I've read somewhere the
difference in Relative and Absolute colormetric is the rendention of
the handling of paper base white where the Absolute makes an earnest
attempt to reproduce the actual color of the paper base white. I can
hardly wait to dig up some satisfactory images of my own to try out
this new toy. I've dealt with BW for 40 years, so this is a whole new
world for me. Now if I can get the Spectro jumping through hoops for
me when I use QTR of Roy Harrington's fine work, I'll really have both
feet firmly planted in both Color and Black and White. I have never
been able to produce the QTR curves as well and the canned ones he
provides. But who knows, this tool may enable me to do such a task.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny
