Hi, I'm interested in speed of calculation, so rebuilding a profile is not an option. Also sometimes I do not have the original data so would have to create it with a CMYK to Lab conversion.
I've seen it done though where calculation of a Lab value using specific channels is almost instantaneous. i.e. without any iteration of values or re-profiling.
