Display brightness

2015-03-01 by jacques.caron@...

Hi

I searched for an answer in the the group but I can't find an answer that is helpful.


I'm using an Eb-6 and 1430 combination; I'm getting better at profiling but as far as wysiwyg, I'm a bit off. Tried to create an "action" in Photoshop to alleviate the problem but it's quite hard.

Then I read that Apple displays are much too bright (I use a 27" iMac). Even though I calibrate my display with a Spyder4 probe and I control the "brightness" of the room, I can't seem to find who bright should be the display. Actually, I made some measurements and played with the brightness control of the iMac to see why's coming out (playing with the brightness after calibration); I "top" at 432 cd/m2.


Is there a "golden" number in brightness that I should work with?


Thanks


Jacques
