[argyllcms] Re: Flags for Profile

OK, that brings me back to an error that I ran into before.
Ideally to compare this with profile maker I need to use D65 and the observer of 1964_10. This is the command I use 

profile -v -qu -i D65 -o 1964_10 camImageFile

but I get this error.

Error - Requested spectral interpretation when data not available

What, exactly, am I missing?

I am trying to compare the same image processed with two profiles. One
created with profile Maker and the other created with argyll.

It appears from the documentation that the -u flag overrides any
intent setting flags.  Am I reading this correctly?


Normally (w/o -u option) the profile command chooses the color of
unprinted paper (i.e. Dmin or GS00 patch) as media white point location
for scanner profiles. With the -u option, the media white point is
placed at D50 instead. This has the side effect that relative
colorimetric and ICC-absolute intent will give the same result. Since
D50 is outside the gamut of the calibration target, the profile will
need to extrapolate the region between Dmin and D50.
