Hi!

That's interesting but a bit confusing... How come the ICC profile
created by Spyder managed to adjust the color temperature on the 3007
(which doesn't have any RGB adjustments) if only the gray balance is
handled by the profile? What is the use of a color profile assigned to
a monitor under Windows when it actually only is a gray profile?

What's the point of assigning a profile to a monitor if it doesn't
really do anything with the colors? How come there still is a
perceptual color difference when using the profile?

Where should I apply the created profiles? In Photoshop but not in
Windows? When I configure ACDSee to use the profile for output,
there's no visible difference when the profile is also assigned to the
monitor, so why not just assign it to the monitor?

Very confusing and unnecessary complicated! The correct way would be
to create and assign one profile for each input/output device and
that's all. Programs should then not need to use any profiles, because
the colors would be handled correctly by the input/output devices
anyway...

Furthermore: I've read reviwes of the Gretag MacBeth products on the
internet where users claim they were able to match different monitors
to produce the same colors (screenshots proove that, btw). Why is that
possible with the GMB product, but not with the ColorVision's?
