Re: [colorvision_group] Re: Matching dual monitors with Spyder2 Pro - homegrown solution

2006-03-15 by Bob Frost

I use the Win Color Applet to switch between profiles for my computer and 
projector that are both connected to my Radeon 9800 Pro dual-head card, but 
I can only have one profile (and calibration) active at at time, because as 
CDT has said several times, the video card can only take one calibration 
table at a time and applies it to both outputs.

So, AFAIK I can have the projector working with the correct calibration and 
profile, OR the computer monitor working with its own calibration table and 
profile, but with WinXP I cannot have both using a my AGP card and 
photoshop.
