Nikolay, again thanks for taking care of my problem! The profile you sent to me
privately is performing very finely, or at least, much better than I could
obtain
to date. Before receiving your message, I just finished reading a 3000+ patches
target, made the profile again, but it shows very little improvement versus the
1300 patches one: the problem in the darks is always there. You seem to instead
have the key for success! So let's try to understand HOW !?

I see you dropped all spectral data. Is there a particular reason why you did
that ?

-al should be the default, right ?

well, I tried once -qh (at least 1 hour on my machine) but it didn't seem a so
big key for
my black problems

Ok, you have to explain me well how you came with these parameters.
Why -K and not -k ? Also, why start level = 1 ????

tool?

I assume this is some "good habit" of yours to give an arbitrarily higher
tolerancy
of 0.85 and not justified by some specific reason...

Well. However, you will admit there's a bug in xicclu. The K plot for
perceptual shows
no black ramp down, which is not the actual case: a picture converted from srgb
to
CMYK with Photoshop, Perceptual intent, by using your profile, shows clearly
that
the K is indeed ramping down after about 50%. Just measure the CMYK numbers.
After all, xicclu was showing the same with my profiles also: an always
increasing
black in perceptual, everything very very smooth (but the visual result not
being so).
So I please ask Graeme again, if he's reading, to investigate this bug...
Bye!
