[re calibrating a monitor]
Yes – just 22 years. I shall chew over the information you gave. As far as I can
see it is a lot of mumbo jumbo – I am not critisising you but the idea as a
whole. I cannot see there is any way you can adjust the individual colours.
Now I also have the benefit of being born in Copenhagen. Remember we have Hans
Andersen as one of our story tellers and he was pretty spot on with the Emperors
New Clothes. As I told my youngest son when in London last November, beware,
read Hans Andersen before you part with more money for setting up any of the
screens.
LOL. Yes, but this is not a fair comparison because it gets much colder in Amsterdam than in many parts of the rest of the world, so it is much more obvious when one’s clothes are missing. Truly, you do have a point. It is possible, with care, to adjust your monitor manually, without spending money on additional equipment, though it would appear that you and I stand alone in believing this 🙂

thought I was the only one!!
so far I get good results using Adobe gamma
and checking the charts of gamma scales I found on the net (thanks MIKE)
I cannot and have never got good results letting PS decide the color output for the Epson inkjets
not on the 1270 not on the R1800
wasted ton of ink and paper trying every profile and combo
If I turn it all off it works great!!!! (print color management, not all color mgmt)
(I do embed a profile in the image file in case of printing outside or open on another comp)
windows must be smarter at guessing the colors of the monitor…???
just back from Costa Rica
got some great images to work on…
shot in Adobe RGB instead of sRGB, looking forward to seeing the difference.
Client paid to rent the Mark 2 DS so they are BIG files, 16 megapixels shot in JPG-high opens to a 48 MB file
can’t see any pixelating at ridiculous magnifications…………
