Graeme, Just to close the loop on this, it is the -iD65 switch that causes the blue cast to the profile in Photoshop. You also ONLY see the blue cast when Simulate Paper Color is checked (which you need to do for soft proofing purposes). when you uncheck the box the blue cast goes away. The same profile made under identical conditions without -iD65 is fine, showing normal behavior as all my other color profiles. I think now I can comfortably build a profile without worrying about this.

Argyll's FWA compensation is based on measurement, so yes, it's only of use with a UV capable instrument - ie. not the ColorMunki. > A standard test print with the CM Argyll generated profile turned out fine > in every respect and in some cases was superior to the CM profile that I had > been using (and far superior to the profile Ilford has on their website for > the Epson 3880. If the profile does the right thing in representing the device behaviour, evidenced by a suitable looking print, it's not clear to me why you say there is a problem. Can you explain in a bit more detail ? Graeme Gill.
