Thanks for your detailed reply to the monitor luminance question.
An
interesting and feasible way of controlling the non-mapping of media into
monitor considerations.
Just a precision on the above note on Photoshop. It is the only soft
proofing of other media as Photoshop functions with matrix XYZ monitor space
profiles where the mapping is relative to 0-100.
