Hi. I still find this kinda confusing.
Hi too!
I find it even worse. Today, I went to make a few test prints: TIF and PDF/X-3 with different profiles; not too convincing, no. Also, monitor calibration is still problematic. Norman Koren's / LProf charts lead to a very dark screen; two other tests do not comply with this. Buying a Spyder is too much for what I intend to do...
Is there a tutorial that step-by-step states:
- Where and how to download some frequently used profiles, like Adobe's?
www.adobe.com/downloads/ -> Adobe ICC Color Profiles By the way, Adobe Color Management Module makes no sense.
I also downloaded ISO Profiles from ECI (European Color Inintiative), www.eci.org
- Where to put the .icc-files on the various platforms
(Mac/Linux/Windows) in order to make Inkscape use them.
See 'Profile Information.pdf' included in Adobe profiles.
- If installing LittleCMS or similar is needed to make this work?
The library is part of Inkscape.
I tried having a look at Inkscape.org, Flossmanuals, Wikipedia but to no avail. Searching for icc on Inkscape.org only gives me a hint about manually adding an XML element to each file when use of ICC profiles i s desired. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Adding_color-profile_element . I also can not get the dropdowns in the *Preferences --> Color Management *dialog to work
Same to me. I added the URI to Inkscape's preferences file, group id="softproof". Don't know yet whether this does anything at all.
even when I follow minombresbond's advice. Sorry if this is obvious to you all but I'm having a bit of a struggle. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks :), Jimmy Volatile.
Good luck, beware of mad Inkscape disease, HL
