Working profile

Hmm, that makes perfect sense description-wise, though not a standard application of the term “linear” wrt profiles.

Yes, Old Thing here got a bit creative with the lexicon. Never a good formula for fomenting common understanding. I’ll stick to program, here on out…

It also brings up the interesting question of what shape the “footprint” on the xy plane might be for something like a LUT printer profile. I don’t have a clue, but there’s not likely to be any straight lines for a LUT profile, except maybe for a synthetic LUT profile designed to mimic a matrix profile.

I started to raise that question in my previous post, but didn’t have the time to form it well.

Engineering-wise, it’s pretty easy to specify a set of three primaries and a white point and call it a working profile. Doing that with LUT profiles would be a bit harder. Do you know of any LUT working profiles? Now that I’ve got (some sort of) religion regarding matrix profiles, I’d like to pick one apart, if they exist.
