Profile, the option Refined Destination Profile is selected for the refined ink, while the selected values
will be the new refined values.
Remark that in the example above, we provoked distinctively different values, just to show you how
the interface behaves.
Some explanation may be needed here about the difference between Destination Profile and Proofed
Color. This is best illustrated by a description of a possible workflow. Typically, a user creating a color
strategy will have all his special inks converted using the destination profile, which is the best possible
first guess. Then, after making a proof containing a number of spot colors he will decide that some
spot colors may need refinement. The user will then add these inks to the special inks exception list,
select the Destination Profile option and start the Refinement Tool. When the user has proofed using
the destination profile values, the values in the Destination Profile and Proofed Color columns will be
the same. The Lab values shown in the Destination Profile column are those values that CMS expects
to be measured.
