Thanks. Those posts I made took days to trickle through to the list - I attempted to quickly let you all know that
I didn't need this any more, but the list delays were just too long. :) But no harm done - I've learnt something
in the process.
 
Cheers,
Greg.

As I understand it, Bradford will give you a perceptual change. If you want an approximation of the numbers your meter might have given had it been set on D65, I find that a 3x3 matrix in XYZ gives a closer result:

  D50 LAB -> XYZ
  XYZ -> 3x3 matrix -> XYZ
  XYZ -> D65 LAB

You can find a 3x3 matrix by (for example) measuring a macbeth with your spectrophotometer set on D65 and on D50, and doing a least-mean square.

I see an average error of just under 1 dE doing this, with a peak error possibly much higher. For best results, redo your measurements.
