Designer1 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Black Point compensation does not work! The CMYK 0 0 0 100 should be absolute black. However, this is not the case. One sees rather a dark gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tudor Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 K 100 is exactly that, a very dark grey. In the CMYK world, "absolute black" is called "rich black" and it can be something like 60/40/40/100. I wouldn't trust an app that shows me total darkness for a K 100 color.

Why then the Black Point compensation function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPC helps maintain the detail in the black (dark) areas when converting between color spaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
