Good morning,
(with Adobe Gamma anyway)
If you use the same name (rename) for a new profile -
your original (starting point) profile is lost - yes?
I have 3 Viewsonic G810 monitors. When I calibrate them
profile them, I want to give each its own name.
So save as, say :
G810_A
G810_B
G810_C
So far so good.
Now, when I check their embedded profiles -
all 3 are still G810.
----
If a person started their monitor profiling
with ColormatchRGB ... for example
then reused that name for "his monitor" profile
he would end up with a "BAD" ColormatchRGB
profile in his colorsync folder for importing
and dealing with other work depending on ColormatchRGB.
----
I must be missing something - it seems as if
I ahould be able to make a new monitor profile - and have it end up with
properly embedded name.
