Jyrki, For both profiles the same characterization data is used (FOGRA27). The difference is in how the actual icc-profile is created. You can look into a profile using ColorSync-Utility on MacOSX, or compare the two profiles on http://iccview.de/ You will see there is not a big difference. Both have the same whitepoint and the overal shape of the gamut is almost identical. A comparison of the profiles¹ colorimetric intent to FOGRA27 you can see here http://digitalproof.info/profcheck/profcheck5ir1b1.html# Jeroen Duller From: Jyrki Kela &lt;jyrki.kela(a)erweko.fi&gt; Reply-To: &lt;eci-en(a)lists.callassoftware.com&gt; Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 12:39:17 +0300 To: &lt;eci-en(a)lists.callassoftware.com&gt; Conversation: Difference between profiles Subject: [ECI-EN] Difference between profiles Hello list Can you tell, what is difference between ISOcoated.icc (www.eci.org <http://www.eci.org> ) and Europe ISO Coated FOGRA27 profiles, which came with Adobe Photoshop CS2?
