I disagree. The rainbow is very unforgiving I don't think what everything the rainbow reveals should be taken literally but if you know how to use it, it's wonderful tool to detect problems. So far the problems revealed in the rainbow has been consistant with my test print.
But I would suggest people to view the test shots -first-, then if there is something wrong with the color or tone, verify it with the rainbow.
That would be a much fairer usage... and is pretty much how I use rainbows and spectral gradients myself...
To say it'd better not been invented is a bit unfair.
Not exactly what I was saying. I was saying that personally, my life would be simpler if users weren't forever misinterpreting Granger Rainbows, and getting all upset about them. I would say the same thing about the Fuji test image: I wish it had never been created, it has so many out of gamut colors in it, and users are often convinced there is something wrong with their profiles, when its just that you can't match what you can't reach.
