Hello Gerhard, thanx again for the clarifying help. I omitted the -x flag, that's why it didn't work. Now erverything works better than I expected. Only -ip yields a very muddy yellow for RGB 0 255 255. (about 12 % C, 83%Y). although Photoshop ACE gives 1% C, 83%Y for perceptual intent. Using -ila or -ir yields just about the same like PS for Yellow. This is much more pleasing for printing business graphics like out of office programs.

I get your thougt for the first step when you create the device link, this one is not usable for icc2ps -right?Yes.Then you use icclink from lcms which does n o t create a device link, instead it creates a kind of smelted profile out of the formerly created device link and again the RGB input profile.Lcms' icclink has an option "-x" to tag a generated CIELAB -> CMYK (or RGB) device link not as device link profile but as output profile (which is of course just a "castrated" output profile, containing only a B2A table, but no A2B table - but this is sufficient ot make icc2ps happy).So the conversion chain amounts to RGB > RGB > CMYK, where RGB > RGB ideally should not change the result. Did I get your idea right or is there a mistake in my thoughts?The transformation of the resulting output profile is eventually CIELAB -> RGB -> CMYK (but the RGB intermediate step is hidden). E.g. $ argyll_icclink -f -kx -G -ip sRGB.icm ISOcoated.icc link.icc $ lcms_icclink -x -o output.icc -t1 -c2 *Lab sRGB.icm link.icc $ icc2ps -o output.icc > ISOcoated_K_only_CRD.ps Regards, Gerhard ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
