Re: B&W Profiling Problem

2007-12-07 by ve3hls

Hi David,

Many thanks...it worked, but even then it took me several tries.  

I wasn't expecting to save the measurements to two separate files.  That particular step is 
not explained during the process, and not in the Help file.  

The Help file doesn't explain the process of measuring extended grays, in addition to a 
colour chart, at all.  When I checked the Use "Extended Grays" box I was expecting the 
software to know what I wanted to do, and then to guide me through the process, as it 
did up to that point.  Instead, I have to go through an undocumented process of going 
forward and backing up a few steps to make it work.  It's not what I'd call intuitive

All that said, in the end it does a marvelous job.  The black and white prints I get out of 
my Pro 9000 without any further tweaking of the profile are excellent.

Sorry for dumping on you like this.  I do appreciate your help, but I assume that one of 
the reasons you're here is to pick up feedback from your customers, and I hope that the 
earful you got from me will give you a few good ideas.

Thanks again,

Ken
