Hi,
That seems to be what I want. Control over how paper white point is being
mapped. I’d
like my (perceptual) profile to neutralize any offset in paper white,
typically blue,
så my colors won’t have a blue cast.
If I take a paper/profile like their RC Photo Luster with a typical bluish
look with a
Lab b around -9 the difference is clear compared to other profiles for
similar bluish
RC papers. Without printing, but just softproofing in Photoshop or Lightroom
(with
paper and ink simulation turned on to primarily see effect of paper white
point), it’s
clear that typical profiles maintain the bluish look of the this category of
paper with
both relative and perceptual intent,
Wishing more of an absolute match on
colors with my source file - not nessecarily super scientific match, but a
perceptual
match, more as if the paper actually had a neutral white point.
So today I stumpled
upon this Hahnemühle profile, and notice it’s perceptual rendering does not
appear
bluish under softproof (as the relative of course do), but visually matches
impressively well with my source image without a strong blue tint anymore -
just as I
wanted.
I know perceptual intent can have all kinds of custom unspecified tricks up
it’s sleeve, but as I have long had a wish of solving how to compensate the
bluish look
when printing with my own argyllcms profiles (primarily from Lightroom), I
got very
intrigued. Absolute intent isn’t available from Lightroom, and doesn’t fit
the wish
anyhow, as I would like something like black point compensation to be of use
to me.
