Hi fellows. Just yesterday or the day before the discussion about the Ekta Space or Joe Space was brought and the original link to Joseph's site for a downloadable profile and the pdf readme file was diplayed.
I had the profile, but not the reading reference so I got it. I took the time to read the rather heavy info on the pdf, and to my surprise I read a clearly defined statement from Joe, stating that we can let go some dose of Gamut Warning alert pass through and we will still have a fine printable file, and he even mentions that this can be used to push some contrast and color saturation and there will still be no major printing problems. One more time, I never talk about Epson Printing. Now my question to those of you that know much better than I do. How much Gamut Warning can we let go without problem??Is there any way to measure it?? I am really interested in getting this guidance, since ,as you might remember, I've been shooting Artwork for a client of mine , in large amounts ( 150 -200 paintings each time) and it turns out to be that the files which have shown "mentionable" Gamut Warnings when viewed in proof set up,and which I have "corrected" for no warning at all, have actually shown a visible lack of contrast or "punch" in the printed catalogs. The correlation between contrast and Gamut Warning is more sensitive than I expected ( I always thought it was almost only color-dependent) but slight changes in any tool in PS, (levels, curves, you name it) may create the presence or absence of a warning,at least in paintings. Any advice on this will be apprciated, since this opens up both a can of worms and some additional possibilities I had not previously considered,just for remaning "safe" , working by the book..
