Hello Gerhard,

That is a major cause of my frustration. How can I quantify something
without a measurable reference? :)

My profiles seem to correct for a purple hue by adding yellow and cyan,
giving a very strong green-yellow cast to all my highlights, and even into
the midtones. And this is highly visible regardless of the illumination.
White point adjustments and UV filtering (both hardware and software) do
have some effect on neutralizing the highlights a little bit. But not
enough to make a difference, and hardly anything in the midtones.

Yes that's what I thought as well. The fabric may have optically reactive
properties that I am not aware of. After all, this isn't paper purposely
treated to appear more white. That's why I think the effect is similar to
FWA for paper, but not exactly the same.
I think I will be able to examine spectral data much easier now that I am
more familiar with Argyll. And then perhaps with the use of spec2cie as
Graeme suggested, I can get an idea of what is going on. I should be able
to analyze some date, rather than scratch my head at what comes out of the
"black box".
Thanks so much for the feedback!
Jacques
