If you’ve ever been to a large-format trade show of any kind you’ve seen her.

And one thing good/bad about her, she’s so colorful that even if she’s printed poorly she still looks pretty good.

But do you know anything about her?

Um…if you’re waiting for me to answer, I don’t either.

I have no idea who she is or who the photographer was or for what reason she was taken.

But I do know that she is far from just another pretty face, or just another bright colorful image. She’s so perfect for evaluating ICC profiles that either she was made by someone for exactly that purpose, or she’s one lucky accident.

Want to see just how your profile is clipping greens? Right there in the makeup swoosh that goes from under her eye to her hair.

Magentas? Right there in her cheek.

Wondering about your reds? There in her lips.

Neutrals? Amazing what the little warm grey area in the lower left can tell you.

And the area under her chin will damn near tell you all you need to know about your ink limits and even your black generation.

There’s more. If you have any issues with blue/purple, she’s going to highlight them. Note in particular the transition of shade from blue to purple in the makeup over her eye.

Outside of the Granger Rainbow, she’s the best profile test image I’ve seen, to the point that I’d feel a little lost without her; yet to this day I still don’t know anything about her.

Do you?
