hi david,


thank you for your thoughts on this.

You can open our Matrix Large test image in Photoshop,

i am able to do this

apply your SpyderPrint-built profile to the image

how exactly do i proceed to apply my spyderprint built profile to the image.

Edit > Convert to Profile. Choose your Custom SpyderPrint profile.

then create an RGB correction curve in Photoshop, adjusting only the global curve, not the individual R, G or B curve.

i think i can do the above

Its a matter or making small adjustments to the areas that you want lighter or darker, printing tests, making further changes, saving each generation of curve adjustments, until the print results are just as you want them. Since the output profile has already been applied, you just print with No Color Management.

you can then import that RGB correction curve into SpyderPrint and apply it to the profile to get these results directly from a new version of the custom profile.

how do i do accomplish this import and the application of the curve to the profile.

Launch SpyderPrint. At the fork in the road, select Choose Existing Measurement Set. Select the set for your profile. Move forward to the SpyderProof View screen, and choose the button for the Advanced Editing button. On the SpyderProof Edit screen, select the button named Import Curves File, and navigate to where you have saved your Photoshop Curves file. Once selected, it will be applied to your profile. Now save new version of the profile, named to reflect the addition of the curves.
