I don't know that much about Adobe & Patone being just a hobbyist photographer. I use the Adobe LR 6.14 stand alone version as of yet & an older version of Affinity Photo. Maybe 1083 or something or other. I'm a light weight when it comes to post processing. I do use an X-rite i1Display Pro for my monitor, have a ColorChecker Passport I use once in a while, a X-rite i1studio & will probably will make my first ICC paper/printer profile this month coming. I also own a DataColor SPYDERPRINT that has never been taken out of the box as of yet. Purchased it when I purchased the Canon Pro100 & it seems to have a larger color charts for making profiles. My prints match my screen so I haven't had to make a profile. I did purchase a pack of Canon Fine Art Smooth paper when purchase printer ink. Canon has no profile for it on my printer. Hence making a profile. Called Canon & they have one for the Pro1000 & larger it seems. So I ask the questio, is it only for pigment ink based printers? Tech says there is no profile for it for use with the Pro10. I ask why & he just says, above his pay grade. Need to ask someone from Japan. Doesn't make any sense to me but I guess not everything has to.
Anyway, I have been enjoying your news letters, thank you. Once I get back to work, Maybe I'll go paid, I'll look into the paid subbed bennys & decide.
Many paper manufacturers do not provide ICC profiles for the less expensive printers (which are usually dye based) but they could, and so can you with your current gear. Just FYI technically most dye printers have a larger gamut than pigment printers but potentially less longevity, especially when exposed to UV light.
I refuse to pay a monthly ransom for software use. I use the old standalone version of Lightroom and Photoshop. I purchased Capture one several versions ago, and then purchased an upgrade. Now that they're pushing everyone towards the subscription model, I'm done. I bought Affinity Publisher (and the upgrade v. 2) and used it to publish (POD) a book last year and it worked perfectly for me.
I hear you and agree with you on Publisher. Unfortunately because of what I do I am required to have up-to-date PS/LR and Capture One at a minimum. On occasion InDesign may be required but not in the last few years which is why I cancelled my subscription to the full suite. I feel the same about the rental music thing, etc.
