Re: How to set for Native gamma with Spyder3 Elite

As I recall from my testing with OptiCAL, there, if one selects "profile" [only - not calibrate as well], the resulting profile file still includes a vcgt tag (ordinarily carrying the LUT load for the calibration process). I have assumed that this is essentially a "null" vcgt tag, such that an LUT loader, dealing with the profile, will not implant anything into the LUT.

1. Is that indeed so?

2. Is the situation the same for the "profile only" mode in Spyder3Elite?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Doug
