Hi:
I'm having a difficult time with my monitor profiling. Here's what's
happening: I have created the profiles using ProfileMaker Pro 3.1.5 and a
Spectrolino on a 19" LaCie (about 6 months old). For the most part the color
on the monitor
and my output match (using the monitor and output profiles made w/ PM);
however, anytime I have an image with a graduated background I get banding
and color fringing along the transitions which looks awful (this appears
only the monitor not the output and is most apparent in radial graduations).
If I change the monitor profile to any other generic monitor profile in my
ColorSync folder the banding disappears. I never had this problem until I
started profiling the monitor. I calibrate the monitor before profiling
(6500 and 1.8 gamma) and I'm working on a beige G-3 w/ PS 6.01 and ColorSync
3.0.1.
1) Is this a problem with the profiling software, monitor, or me (it happens
with every monitor profile I have made)?
2) Is a Spectrolino a good choice for monitor profiling?
3) Should I consider other software for the monitor profiles?
4) Could this be a video card problem?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me crazy.
Thanks
