Hello,

currently I am experimenting with Argyll and get god results for my Kodachrome target with shaper+matrix. However, one thing puzzles me. The histograms with no ICC-profile applied more or less fill the available range (see attachment 1). However, if I apply the ICC-profile, especially in the red channel, the histograms are shifted towards lower values with a pile-up at the lower end (see attachment 2). Where does this come from and how can I avoid this?
