Can jc1's conversion survive on the Blue Ball Test?

Blue Ball Test
The Blue Ball can be extracted from the original file, Twenty-Eight Balls.tif which can be downloaded from https://public.me.com/billatkinson.

IMHO, examine color smoothness on screen is best by disabling the monitor profile, especially if monitor profile is created with Cluts.

Here is my suggestion on how color smoothness should be examined on screen.
Set soft proof to monitor, zoom in 100% or higher, use the Navigator in CS to assist in viewing the problem area.


Following is not a direct apple-to-apple comparison, as one is converted from ProPhoto to PhotoGamut color space whereas the other is from ProPhoto to sRGB (with jc1 method), and both did that perceptually.


Try it if you have other perceptual color conversion routine. The Blue Ball can be download  here
