At the risk of sounding totally (not just partially) dumb, exactly how does one go about setting the EIZO disply manually while using the Spyder3 to build a profile? I have run the EIZO ColorNavigator to set the desired gamma (2.2) and whitepoint (6500K) but the monitor looks to be on the cool side (slightly). I have opened some images of prints that I made and have looked at them under a color corrected light source vs. the image on the montior (using the paper profiles from Spyder3Print) and the prints are slightly warmer. I am guessing the I would have to open the EIZO ColorNavigator and use the Manaual Adjustment option which will let me set the brightness, black level, gamma and 6 colors (RGBCMY) while also running the Spyder3 Elite software to create a profile. I would think the EIZO software will be making a hardware adjustment away from the basic 2.2/6500 setup and the Spyder software will be trying to build a profile that gets loaded to the video card to also make adjustments. Before I start playing around, I thought I would ask if anyone has an EIZO (mine is the CG222W) and has done this type of adjustments? Also, if you have, what controls did you identify to the Spyder software for the monitor?
