Re: [colorvision_group] Grayscale soft-proofing

2009-01-05 by Cdtobie

Print the lower right test image, and measure the large medium gray  
patch using the tool menu's measure command. See what the a* and b*  
values are. They should be neutral, even if your output has a  
metameric cast under your viewing light.
