All the sudden with no changes to Spyder profiles I'm having issues with color on two monitor setup.
- Display 1 Dell laptop wide gamut laptop monitor. Has blue tint unless Spyder 3 Elite is used.
- Display 2 older, regular gamut Dell e1910
Windows 8.1 64 bit Color Management is assigned individual Spyder profiles as default for each display and “Use my settings” is checked for both.
Firefox set to be color managed with gfx.color_management.mode set to 1 and gfx.color_management.enablev4;true
Display #2 does not color manage Firefox correctly unless display #1
is set to sRGB as the default in Windows Color Management. Somehow display 1
profile is impacting display 2 colors.
I can verify this because sites like https://tinyurl.com/gnjlrtg on display #2 are totally washed out and the navigation dropdowns temporarily display a darker green then pop into the lighter green. Neither of these phenomenon occur on other computers Mac or PC with Firefox color management on.
I've seen similar cases of this situation here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3223881 but don't know the solution. My only hack is to load the calibrations, then ditch them for sRGB. The monitors look color balanced, but are truly no longer loading the Spyder profiles.
