>>What is L Star curve mean exactly?

Its a different way to define the ramp from black to white. Instead of 
following a simply mathematical gamma curve, its tries to more 
accurately imitate the luminance response of the human eye by using a 
more complex curve, based on the L* ramp, such as in L*a*b*...

Yes, Spyder3Elite does exactly that...

I'm sure it would

Sorry,
  we aren't building new features into the older products. We have
just
  recently licensed L-Star, and are adding into our new line of

products.

David,

I assume you are
  referring to curve-creation ability in Spyder2PRO. Do
you
  think
9-point
curve is adequate to effectively describe L-Star? What
  better tool can
be used
to create more
fitted curve - it appears
  that documents in Curve folder are a
variation on .icc
files. Can
  these
files only contain curves with points or can you read parametric
  curves
like in
ICC v4?

Could you provide a good L-Star curve
  preset? I'm sure it would be
appreciaged
by some of
the current PFP
  + Spyder2 users.

Cheers.
