I am new to this group and apologize if this has already been covered
(I didn't find it in the archives).
I am trying to create ICC monitor profiles for our 3 Mac G4 systems
which all use
LaCie monitors, with the WiziWYG monitor calibrator
device. What I don't understand is the relationship between the initial
visual brightness/contrast adjustment, and the resulting profile. For
one thing the contrast level has to be very low by my eyes, in order to
get the white squares to come close to being "barely visible" as the
instructions indicate.
When I'm all finished the monitor looks WAY too dark. Therefore is it
"OK" to set the contrast at a more pleasing level in the beginning, run
through the process, and keep it that way after profiling?
Also, during the process what gamma is the best choice? Since I work
currently in Adobe 1998 colorspace - I would think 2.2 since that is
what it assumes - correct?
Thanks very much for any replies.
