Just curious whether creating a display profile using ArgyllCMS will deliver better or different looking previews editing under an Adobe driven color engine on a calibrated system compared to just relying on something like Colormunki Display profile.
I have made comparisons with the stock software included with my i1 Display Pro and it is not pretty for X-Rite.
I only tested linearity and it was enough. A same file containing a simple gradient in PhotoShop showed linerity defects when displayed with the X-Rite-generated profile and it displayed perfectly when using the ArgyllCMS-generated profile. For display calibration and profiling, I find DispcalGUI very nice to use.
For printing, I used to use QTR for B&W and canned profiles for the very small number of colour pictures I print. I learned how to use ArgyllCMS from the command line to generate profiles for my R3000 and the few papers I use. It is an involved process, but far from insurmountable thanks to tutorials available at different places on the web and the documentation on the ArgyllCMS web site. The most difficult part was to find a way to print the targets without any colour management, thanks Adobe for removing that from PhotoShop !
Thanks to the quality of the generated profiles, I use them for colour and B&W printing, with excellent results. This great because I now have just one printing process for both types of pictures and I can finally use the toning tool in Lightroom.
