ICC profile editor

I'm using Datacolor's Spyder 3pro. One of the cheapest solutions. And it seems I'm paying the price for not having invested more ...

Please let me ask again:
can Photoshop create/edit ICC profiles (as posted above) ?

Mark,

I'm using ProfileMaker5, and here it's really not
necessary to 'tweak' the monitor profiles.
I don't know whether PhS offers editing of (monitor)
profiles.
It should be discussed why your calibration device
doesn't deliver reliable profiles.

I'm not believing in the eternal truth of industrial
software, but concerning the monitor calibration,
the state of the art is IMO convincing.

Thanks for your advice Gernot. I forgot to mention, it's about monitor profiles. And I don't have any parameters I can change unfortunately. And yes, the profile needs a bit of editing, unfortunately.

So can Photoshop create/edit ICC profiles (as posted above) ?

Generally spoken, profiles shouldn't need editing.

My practical advice is this: if the profile isn't
convincing, then change the parameters for the gene-
ration of the profile, based on accurately measured
target values. There are so many degrees of freedom,
concerning total ink limit, GCR strategy, starting
point of GCR etc..
So far my comment refers to printer profiles.

Also:
Is it true that I can create an ICC profile with Photoshop ?

I read this here:

"For example, if your results with the profile show a green cast: open the target scan in Photoshop, start a curve dialogue, and do a simple pull of the midpoint of the green curve, to make it *brighter*, say from 118 to 138.

Save as a copy, and create a new icc profile with this file."
