开云体育Bernie, that's about it.? I don't think
you can assign a grayscale profile until you 'convert' to grayscale, but I could
be wrong.? Nonetheless, you do need to 'convert' to first the LAB--because
you will probably want to save this as your master tiff.? Then--convert
this file to either gray-matte or gray-photo and save this tiff and use it to
print from.?
?
I haven't printed on the Ilford paper but
after doing step wedges on my Epson Premium Semigloss and laying out all my 11
papers, I found that it was much creamier than I had really ever thought.?
Consequently it affects the 'cool' curve quite a bit, but when you print from a
100% warm to a 100% cool, you can see the differences as you progress from one
to the other and its marked.? My most neutral prints will be on Hahnemuhle
PHotorag, Velvet, Innova Photo Fibaprint and Epson Enhanced Matte--all of which
are matte papers.
?
The RIP won't affect bronzing--because that's
a paper/ink thing.? I haven't sprayed any since I mostly print b/w on matte
paper, but not always.? On the other list they are all spraying their gloss
and semi gloss prints and are using 'glop' (gloss optimizer) in a cart with
their 3rd party inks.? I'll have to try the Lyson spray though--good to
hear when someone likes a particular brand.
?
If you try the softproofing in gray-LAB I
think you would find it helpful also.? You can tweak that final
contrast/tonality if needed.? Have you found the gray file on Roy's
page?
