I have the LaCie Blue Eye Vision colorimeter for my LaCie Monitor. Before calibration begins, I am asked to set the Gamma, degrees Kelvin and another variable (something like cd/m2 [but may not be exact because I am writing this from a location other than where my hardware resides]). There are no instructions on how to set these parameters and LaCie says they cannot provide any help. The colorimeter sets the monitor’s (LaCie) profile. There are no ‘default’ settings for these three parameters. Can someone guide me through how to set these and what each one does to the monitor profile. Thank you……

I found that LaCie software to be more or less useless. I got better results with Adobe Gamma. I’d suggest you do yourself a favor and buy a thrid party calibrator. Ebay is your friend.

I appreciateyour opinion (I really do) – but, even though I don’t know how to correctly set the initial parameters on their driver, I got a monitor profile that works pretty good. Also, went back and checked it against Adobe Gamma and it was pretty close. I’m one of those people who wants to learn how to do ‘better’ all the time. Also, when I purchased the colorimeter, it cost me over $500 and, for that kind of money, I’m going to be stubborn and learn all I can about how to use it. Thanks………
