Indeed a spectro (Eye One) is needed. > Also I would have thought there must be dangers > in pulling out parts of a colour space/profile to accommodate insensitivity > to a certain colour.... ( I'm sure Thomas can help on this) Yes in general it can be, but if you don't do too many it won't be a problem. Also Gretag has found a pretty clever way of doing it: Somewhat simplified they use the spot measured colour to "replace/prioritise" the closest patch on the target with the spectral measurements off the critical colour. > > Andy > > P.s.

The Sinar version 5 beta I had at the Seminar was a pre-pre release. I don't have access to a newer version. It was actually possible to do the profiling with that version of the software though, but there was a few too many hoops to jump through for a live demo so we decided to just show the effects of the profile in PS. I believe the release candidate of the v5 Sinar software will be available in September (Photokina). This is strictly rumour though - could be either before or after...
