The proofing intent works as intented using media whitepoint for absolute colorimetric intent, other than I wrote in my previous mail. Lcms seems to behave correctly in this regard.
Sorry for any confusion to others, caused by me. regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann + development for color management + imaging / panoramas + email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] + http://www.behrmann.name Am 28.01.06, 12:32 +0100 schrieb Kai-Uwe Behrmann: > Alain, > > currently lcms does proofing without being influenced by the whitepoint in > the proofing profile. lcms seems allways to expect > INTENT_RELATIVE_COLORIMETRIC and dont triggers if get tould tould to use > INTENT_ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC as proofing rendering intent. > The INTENT_ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC as proofing intent should consider the > media whitepoint of the proofing profile.
