Hi there,
I am trying to get my LCD to most accurately represent colours from my Pantone swatch book. I have a Huey Pro calibration tool to assist in the LCD calibration.
So, I’ve calibrated the display as best as I could. It’s not a top of the line LCD and the Huey isn’t the top of the line colourimeter so I understand that I won’t get things absolutely perfect.
I’m starting with the basics: trying to match the C M Y & K from the swatch book. Figure that’s a good place to begin. I’d like to see RGB and CMYK values look as accurate as possible on my display. If I can figure that out, then I guess it’s time to understand how to match the Pantone values and the Lab settings and all that jazz.
My PS Colour Settings are North America General Purpose 2 RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
CMYK: US Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Is there anything else I can be doing to get a better on-screen representation?
Is this Holy Grail even attainable with my modest setup?
I’d really value your advice and opinions!
Thanks!
