Re: [colorvision_group] Spyder2 - highlights problem

2007-02-26 by Florent Thouret

I've not explained things correctly I think, sorry.

I have 5343K when I use my father's RGB settings (wich give him 6500k)
I can obtain 6500k, but I have to use RGB settings like R32 G22 B97,
but, as I said, I have blue highlights instead of neutral...

I hope it's better now :-)

In spyder2 software, I see it : "2.2, native"
But in my sceen settings, I only have srgb, 9300k, 7500k, 6500k,
5400k, 5000k and "user defined". If I reset the screen config, it
automatically set it on 6500k. Is it the native whitepoint value ?
