Marti, thanks for the hint.
An other question comes to my mind: for the absolute intent you need to guess, when chrm or chad are absent? Or how does you find out the original primaries, which are lost during the Wtpt->D50 transformation? regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann + development for color management + imaging / panoramas + email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] + http://www.behrmann.name Am 10.10.05, 18:54 +0200 schrieb Marti: > > Kai-Uwe, > > Just take the ICC profile as a black-box.
