I have noticed that the value in the wtpt tag of an Argyll-made ICC profile varies dramatically depending on the quality level selected via the -q and whether input/output matrices are included via the -n tag. I would like to understand how it is that the wtpt is not invariant with respect to these tags:


Command:        profile -v -ql -bl  -l333 -kp 0 0 .8 .4 .5
wtpt data:      92.496330, 0.622382, -3.016244

Command:        profile -v -ql -bl -ni -no -l333 -kp 0 0 .8 .4 .5
wtpt data:      93.403267, 0.365175, -3.695083



Command:        profile -v -qm -bm  -l333 -kp 0 0 .8 .4 .5
wtpt data:      89.306440, 0.563566, -2.679620

Command:        profile -v -qm -bm -ni -no -l333 -kp 0 0 .8 .4 .5
wtpt data:      92.164165, 0.582095, -3.329186


Command:        profile -v -qh -bm -l333 -kp 0 0 .8 .4 .5
wtpt data:      91.681575, 0.619838, -2.723870

Command:        profile -v -qh -bm -ni -no -l333 -kp 0 0 .8 .4 .5
wtpt data:      89.079722, 0.552168, -2.911983


All profiles are made with Argyll beta 7.5. Whitepoint data extracted via iccdump command.
