Not my point at all. See my last post to Andrew.Not in any disagreement over the ability to being able to build great profiles at home. My point was at what cost.
For pro photographers trying to sell prints I can imagine some use of having so many profiles.
For the wannabe artists, usually amateurs like myself, I don't see the point.
I need at least two or three good profiles. For ONE printer (mine) and some papers. Maybe I'd like to try other papers just to play, like others feed their images to AI gadgets and look what comes out but that's not serious photography IMHO
But after getting profiles for all the papers the amateur will use,
there is no point in having a profiling kit, learn the procedure through trial and error (and frustration), repeating it for each new case instead of just printing the test charts as instructed, sending them per post and wait for at most a week till it arrives per email attachment. And then doing some photography with it
How often does a hobby photographer need new profiles?
And the pros? And why then?
Please correct me, I presume that my opinion is biased through inexperience.
Thanks
