Consummated ideal edition (9)

I believe the answer is:

perfected

'consummated' is the definition.
('perfect' can be a synonym of 'consummate')

'ideal edition' is the wordplay.
'ideal' becomes 'perfect' (similar in meaning).
'edition' becomes 'ed'.
'perfect'+'ed'='PERFECTED'

(Another definition for perfected that I've seen is " Made complete and faultless, say technique".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
