Subject: Re: [colorvision_group] Trouble Calibrating Moniter with
SpyderPro2.2 - Very Blue



>>I just reinstalled my OS and am having problems calibrating Moniter . 

I have used used Spyder for years, and this calibration is quite off,
very cold and blue. I am running Windows XP Home and have a Samsung
LCD moniter and use PS CS2. I have not changed any settings on my
moniter since the reinstall of the OS, the Brightness is 50 and
Contrast 100 and I have no other adjustments available.. Again, this
is how it has always been. I am using the same SpyderPro2.2-4
settings: Gamma 2.2 & White Point 5800. The moniter image is very blue
and cold. I have done this a couple of times and it keeps looking the
same. It is blue visually, I noticed it right away. And when I look
at the PDI test image on the moniter compared to a print, the lower
part of the color bar on the right is not white, but pretty blue. Any
ideas what I might be doing wrong?

One possibility is that an energy saver or screensaver is coming on 
during the profiling process, and invalidating the readings. Be sure 
that all such functions are set to "never" before calibrating, and see 
if that makes a difference.
