Inverse Monitor Curves

[tomczak]

In PWP7, there was an option, I recall, in Colour Curves called: Inverse Monitor Curves (although I can't find it anymore in there, but it's still in help file).

The idea was to use it for commercial printing: i.e. prepare an image on the screen the way it should be, then send it for printing, if not satisfied with the print (as it may be too dark or have colour casts), mess it up on the screen the same way the print looks like under my viewing conditions using Monitor Curves, then apply the inverse of them to the actual image before sending it for printing the same way as before again, so that it compensates (cancels out) whatever printer did to the image before and hopefully end up with the print that looks similar to the original image on the screen.

Is there a way of doing something similar in PWP8?

When you save monitor curves, PWP saves the inverse monitor curves as printer curves at the same time.

Thanks, it seems to work. All I need to do is go to Colour/Curves transformation, go to the top Settings button, and Load Colour Curves, but instead of looking into Documents/Picture Window Pro/Color Curves folder look for them in Documents/Picture Window Pro/Printer Curves, where they are with .cc extensions.
