I want to switch to Adobe RGB as my RGB working space.
I just got a G4 DP/800 and 222 Apple Cinema Display, LCD Monitor Spyder. I
have been working in ColorMatch RGB for years. Although at times I did need
to use Adobe RGB for closer matches to some spot blues, purples, etc.
What is the best way to calibrate the 222 LCD for use with Adobe RGB? I did
a test today against a Kodak Approval. On the old machine + crt, in
ColorMatch RGB the Proof matches the monitor soft proof very well. The test
file was created in ColoMatch RGB and P2P to the Approval9s profile.
On the 222 LCD calibrated at 6500K and Gamma 2.2 the test file is way over
saturated and if I use PS6 feature to desaturate the display, the yellows
look horrible. If I calibrate the LCD to 5000K gamma 1.8. It looks almost as
good as the crt. Do I calibrate to 5000k, gamma 1.8 and use Adobe RGB as a
working space? Some how that doesn9t seem right if Adobe RGB is 6500K Gamma
2.2.
The plan is to have a Lacie Electron19blueIII as the second monitor to
double check the LCD. I9m guessing I will calibrate the Lacie19blue the same
as the LCD?
That is the goal, switch to Adobe RGB as the working space. If I have to
pull up an old ColorMatch image I can decide then to convert to working
space or just leave it ColorMatch.
Chris, Bruce, Andrew, Steve - thanks ahead of time in hope your answers will
point me in the right direction.
