I may have missed an earlier post, but: What kind of monitor do you have, and do you have any hardware/software for making profiles? I think that the best but hardest way to have a what you see is what you get workflow is to have a good monitor that allows you to control the RGB, brightness, contrast, etc. controls individually and to have a puck (e.g. something like Colorvision's Spyder) and the OptiCal/PreCal software that goes with it to be able to read the info directly from the monitor's screen. You choose a white point for the monitor and create a profile for your particular monitor that essentially corrects its way of making colors to a standard. Once that's done you can also use profiling software to make a profile for the particular printer/ink/paper combination(s) you're using, and then in theory what you see on the monitor should be what you get in a print. In all fairness, it's neither foolproof nor 100% reliable, since there are so many gremlins out there. And a print, created with dyes or pigments, and which we see with light reflected off the surface will never look just like a monitor image. But it can get you very close and it can save you the time and hassle of making print after print and making change after change to a file to get something to look good.

Steve, I need more info in order to help you out here. I've a PPC Dual 2.7 GHz G5, running OS 10.4.9 and I calibrate one monitor (Apple Cinema Display 20in) with ColorEyes software and an X-Rite/Monaco "puck" (DTP-94) and I calibrate my other monitor (EIZO CG210) with EIZO Color Navigator software using the same monitor reader/"puck"! The EIZO software works exclusively with the EIZO monitor and using "digital controls" takes full control of the monitor and setting the gamma for me. Using ColorEyes software I set the gamma to a setting called "L*" if I remember correctly. Sorry, I can't be more specific but I'm in Tucson AZ and my Mac is in northern CA, waiting for me to get home from vacation :) Alan

Hello Alan, I have the same computer. I decided to just let the Optix xr do the calibration for me. The profiling that comes with the computer is not enough. I am using a Lacie 22 in monitor. I really appreciate the response. Thanks Steve ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I think the poster corrected himself with a follow up post already. Mark

The choice of a 1.8 or 2.2 gamma in your monitor calibration is independent of the working spaces you define in Photoshop. For LCD monitor calibration you generally want to use a gamma that is close to the native gamma of the display itself. This reduces the hit to the 8 bit video card data during calibration. LCDs have a native gamma closer to 2.2 than 1.8, so 2.2 is what is often recommended. Whichever gamma you choose when calinrating your monitor, Photoshop will make the necessary adjustments to whatever working space you choose. -- amadou diallo Author, Mastering Digital Black and White www.masteringdigitalbwbook.com
