Thank you this confirms my own test results with perceptual rendering and
Black Point compensation.

Yes this is how I am targeting the reproduction curve. I create a duplicate
file which I leave in Adobe 98 and adjust while soft proofing until the
views match. I am using the black and white eyedroppers to set minimum
highlight and maximum shadow after testing because I am never sure that the
monitor is properly displaying the lowest luminosity values.
My second question was simply about why targeting is necessary if the file
compression is working effectively. In Real World Photoshop 7
Fraser&Blatner recommend always checking black point compensation but
then, they talk a great lengths about targeting the file's black and white
points for the maximum shadow and minimum highlight of the output device,
which would seem to be an admission that neither perceptual rendering nor
BPC has effectively remapped black and white. Is the necessity to target
only due to poor quality profiles?
Thank you for your help.
