[D. Bryant]

I curious to ask if anyone on this forum has ever purchased ICC profiles made by Eric Chan?

The price seems reasonable and Eric certainly seems compotent and qualified.

That's a very reasonable price. Plus given the number of patches, and the equipment of course, it should be a good profile. I have no idea how he can do this for such little money.

Yeah for $20, there isn't much risk involved.

Thanks,

If he knows what he's doing he should be able to make good profiles for glossy or semi-glossy papers. For matte papers and difficult surfaces like canvas, we like to use a spectrophotometer with a polarizing filter that can draw out more shadow detail in the profile.

I'm pretty sure Eric knows what he's doing as he is a computer scientist at Adobe. You can see his latest work on the new Lightroom 2. Eric developed the new DNG Profile Editor (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles:Editor) also.


With that said I've used Chromix (http://www2.chromix.com/) many times for custom paper profiles....all excellent.
