These utilities are redundant with ColorSync 2.6 (perhaps 2.5, can't
remember) and they should not be used in most cases. The display
system will take care of loading the 'vcgt' monitor calibration LUT's
into the graphics cards at startup. One place where I think Windows
is still lagging behind....
I've
always wondered why these apps are needed. I always thought it was possible
to add a tag in your ICC profile that specifies video card LUTs that
ColorSync is meant to set... but maybe I'm wrong.
nope, you've got it - the newer profiling tools should all put the
vcgt tags into the profiles and they can be used by the OS.
