[argyllcms] Re: Support for ColorSavvy Mouse 2 spectrophotometer

Hmm, I'm not sure, whether just changing the "white balance" is really what
you want, since it would basically affect ALL colors (including white!), and
one consequence would be, that a "white" color in the source image (e.g.
sRGB [255,255,255]) would no longer map to unprinted paper.

(Or to overcome the latter issue, the profiler would additionally need to
"cheat" a bit and to bend the perceptual gray axis towards paper white at
the "upper end").
You are absolutely right, I mean something like mild tone balance. Not strict WB.
That's actually not the goal of the illuminant setting.
Yes its not a goal but it can work like a workaround. Setting illuminant to D45 should resolve my problem the other solution is to view prints in D50/D55 environment, with is not nice for home area as it's too cool.
Btw, if your .ti3 file contains not just XYZ and/or L*a*b* measurements, but
spectral ones, then you can alternatively select the illuminant with the -i
option of the profile command (i.e. if -i is specified, then "profile"
ignores the XYZ/Lab columns in the .ti3 file and computes them from the
spectral reflectances in the .ti3 file according to the given
illuminant/observer).
I'm afraid my Color Mouse 2 can't make spectral measurement it produces only XYZ, Lab, LCh, Luv, xyY, Yxy, uvY,Yuv on given illuminant, D50 is lowest one others are D55/D65/D75/A/C/F2/F7/F11/F12.
