ICM Proofing vs PhotoShop Proofing

Hi

I'm using the ICM for proofing my printer output. I've the printer and
monitor profiles.

When I try to make a proofing with ICM and compare it with PhotoShop
proofing, i see high differences.

For example, ICM transform the white colors with yellow values. But
when I make the proofing with the PhotoShop, it convert the white to
light gray+blue (it is more realistic, and more accurate to the
printed image).

Photoshop can use the Microsoft ICM and an "Adobe Color Engine", with
the same (light gray+blue) results.

anyone knows why ?


Note: I try all options in Photoshop (and using the windows ICM
engine) to get yellow values without result.
Note2: I use some other programs that use the ICM 2.0, with the same
(yellow) results (I try with PaintShop Pro, the IcmView.exe, an
example of the Black Book).

Hi

I discover why the image appears yellow.

The image appears yellow because I calibrate my monitor to a
temperaature of 6500 (D65) and the printer profile is calibrated to
5000 (D50), like all printer profiles !!!!. (ICM try to proof an image
with 5000ºK printer profile in a monitor with 6500ºK, then it converts
the image to yellow)

When I calibrate the monitor to 5000 (too yellow in my opinion) all
appears successfully.

To know why Adobe appears correctly ... is something dark. See next
discussion to learn about it:
