Hi,

   I think I am seeing the situation desribed below on the Glossy 
profile I did.  I measured the 729 target and the grey pattern and 
created a profile.

   The colors seems accurate, and the darkest parts of the image have a 
deep black.  But in comparison to the screen, the shadow areas and mid 
totones are a little darker.  It is enough that the overall perception 
of the image seems a little to dark.

   I tried recreating the profile a couple of times by adjusting a 
couple of the sliders (shadow detail, and brightness), but then the 
darkest parts of the image lightened up.

   Can you recommend a way for me to make an adjustment so that I keep 
the nice deep blacks, but make the shadow area and mid tones a bit 
lighter so they match the screen?

   Additional Info: My LCD is calibrated at 100 cdm2, and the profile I 
made for Hahn FineArt Pearl looks right on.

Thanks,
Darrell
