What is the best software for create ICC profile? How to set up
While most people use "By Guess and By Golly", many swear by "Craftsmanship" while others swear at it. While "Intuition" will work, I think that most everyone agrees that the best software is the one they're using.
So, perhaps if you thought about your question as much as you hope that others would think about it in order to answer, you might get an even more useful response.
What are you calibrating?
A profile program works better than Photoshop.
Form test I've seen Binuscan does a very good job of creating a Relative profile with intelegent interpretation of what is visually pleasing for out of gamut colours.
If you use it for a monitor you should have an application that can verify.
ProfileMaker, Monaco, Agfa ApogeeColour, Xrite are the ones I've tried works best to make proofer and printer profile with same software.
I am an X-Rite ProfileMaker man myself. However one of ways to get an unbiased opinion is to read Dr. Abhay Sharma's Profiling Review located here: WMU Profiling Review Home Page

Marc,
this review is outdated. It is a review of 2005. Many things has changed (improve) since then.
In my experience proofing works best if the same program (and measuring device if possible)
is used for output device and proofing device. Was more so before, current programs have better compatibility.
Everybody can download standard icc profile under the agreement together. can get icc profile from http://www.adobe.com or http://www.colormanagement.org For Reference icc profile and I use FUJI Colorkit Profile suite make Device link icc profile.
