Thanks for the referral--I'll check those out. All I want is a decent desk light for spot checking prints. Although I've sold a couple photos at an art show before, I don't think that will be a common occurrence! FWIW the 5000K LED bulb I bought was a Philips 9W 5000K A19...

Thank you for your reply Emulator--much appreciated. I have read many of your posts ;) I went back to the man pages for tifficc and now realize that the command I executed on the proof.jpg image used the Absolute rendering intent, which produced a yellow cast in the output. I re-ran tifficc...

Hello--new forum member here...go easy on me please :) I recently profiled my display and printer using Argyll. In the past I used other tools and am familiar with color management. To profile my printer I followed a tutorial located here...
