RE: [Digital BW] How Photoshop uses monitor profile?

2005-09-13 by Richard

HI

 

Thanks for the info - Adobe Gamma Loader was deleted. As I say I'm not sure
of the technical details here,  but I do know that with the Logo Calibration
Loader running at startup the screen colours are the vibrant clear saturated
crisp colours that you get from an LCD display with brightness turned up and
which although impressive, are in my experience difficult to reproduce in
print. With the Logo Calibration Loader disabled the colours are more muted
and produce an excellent match (to my eyes anyway) with the prints produced
using i1 printer profiles. Getting a bit off the B+W thread here. 

 

All I can say is it seems to works for me, and the EIZO link seems to kind
of corroborate this

 


That's the wrong thing to do. The Logo Calibration Loader is the thing that
loads the calibration tables produced by your Eye-One software. The monitor
profile describes the response of the system after those tables are loaded.
If you disable this software, then your monitor profile no longer
corresponds to your monitor, and everything will come out wrong. You may
"like" the colors you see, but they're not what the numbers are describing
at that point, and you have no reason to expect they'll agree with what
comes out of the printer.

The reason you saw two changes in screen appearance during startup is that
it was running the Logo Calibration Loader _and_ the Adobe Gamma Loader.
Since you're using a profile that corresponds to the former, it is correct
to disable the latter.
