Re: Monitor calibration

2006-02-28 by siobhan mcclory

Hi,
After an external hard drive failure, I decided to clean house and reformat
my G4.  Well, that is something I hope I do not have to repeat anytime soon.
Now I am finally back up and nearly running,
I am having problems calibrating my monitor ( La Cie electron 22 blue iv)
with a Spyder optical 3.  Operating system 10.3.9 G4  To my eye the end
result looks far too warm although this appears to be images opened in
Photoshop.  I noticed that any images in Portfolio looked o.k., although
still on the warm side.
The procedure I followed in Optical was as follows:
Guided by what I believe are the suggested settings for Piezotone.
Target (Curve) set to  Gamma 1.8
Whitepoint set to D50
In  luminance I just left what was in the boxes.  Black 0.3 and white 80.0
and followed on-screen instructions for the contrast and brightness.
My color settings in Photoshop are as for Piezotone.
I would greatly appreciate any help.  Thanks.  Siobhan
