Now I call that doing it the master's way.
About as far as I've gotten is to restrict the whites and blacks within a certain parameter.
Other then that, I need a WYSIWYG workflow.
In the mid 90's I ran an art studio where we had 11 S900's all using the Mitsubishi Diamond 20" monitor. We tried to do our cc and manipulation by eye but color management systems weren't effective at that time. We eventually bought Barco 21" monitors at about $6,000 to $8,000 each (I don't remember exactly but expensive), which came with sophisticated external calibration equipment. The results were much closer to WYSIWYG... but I still needed to re-calibrate each monitor every few days. The solution was to learn to use the numbers in PS to insure the color accuracy. We printed to large format printers, on to rolls of canvas. Using the numbers reduced the waste of off-color printing. The S900 was the only machine for a while, that we could get a gig of memory into and could keep upgrading the processors as they became available. Sorry for the digression...
