Re: Monitor Calibrated or set to GG 1.8 or 2.2

2004-06-15 by Johnny Eades

Thanks for the input on my question. I can still leave the monitor 
set in GG 1.8 and proof in GG 2.2--is that correct? I wouldn't wish 
to change the monitor settings every time I changed from matte to 
glossy. Just make the change in Photoshop?

Thanks again,
Your friend in Photography,

Johnny Eades
