Re: neutralizing monitor black point .. One for CD Tobie.

2008-02-26 by Randy L

Hi CD, I bet one of the great benefits of working for Colorvision is
getting to hang out in Europe a lot. Sure beats Maine this time of
year huh?

Where can I get (easy) instructions on this technique? IF you can just
get me started I can figure out the rest.


Also when Spyder2 builds the profile does it color balance black point
automatically? Is is supposed to? My Blacks still have a cast on some
monitors after profiling.

Thanks for the help.

Randy
