Same thing with output to print. If I intend to print my photographs
on my Canon Inkjet Printer, then it is best that I create a profile
using the Spectro, convert the photograph's color profile to the
profile built, edit and enhance the image, save, and print.
I always believed that this is the correct workflow because otherwise,
you will not know how the colors/brightness and contrast will look
like while editing the photos in a different color space.
Is this the proper workflow?
Working and editing an a neutral R=G=B space that can be used for any output is best. Even device specific adjustments can be done in a Photoshop workingspace by toggling back and forth to a proof preview as you work. I'm just suggesting that you use that method rather than having files that are permanently converted to the output devices non-neutral, non-linear space.
