I find Doc Pro works well for fine adjustments like removing a slight
colorcast or opening up shadows a bit. If you try big moves with it, you can
find that the law of unintended consequences is alive and well.

It's a very  useful tool, IMHO.

How good a job does Colorvision's DoctorPro do in tweaking scanner-based
profiles made by WisiWYG or EZColor of ProfilerPLUS?

| WiziWYG is pretty much out of the picture at this point... I think Todd's
| analysis of printer profiles with EZ Color 2 and ProfilerPLUS pretty well
| summed up the current balance: EZ Color 2 often gives you a closer first
time
| profile, but ProfilerPLUS probably offers a bit better final result if you
| take the time and have the skills to edit it appropriately. This is a
general
| statement; different printers (and different users) will have varying
| specific results. There is little question that the monitor calibration
| hardware and software from ColorVision is superior; and no issue at all
about
| scanner profile comparisons since ColorVision doesn't make scanner
profiling
| software. Scanner profiling software isn't really a critical part of the
| workflow, however; while monitor profiling is paramount!
|
| Another factor often forgotten is that ProfilerPLUS offers full control of
| ink limits and black generation settings putting it in a class by itself
for
| CMYK profiles.
|
| But please keep all of the above in perspective; I regularly have
| professional photographers contact me and complain that one or another of
| these packages is not doing exactly what they want. NONE of these printer
| profilers is intended for professional work; for that get a spectro and
build
| serious profiles!
