OSX 'creates' a 9600k/1.8 matrix-based device profile named
NUR1905-2B110E40.icc perpetually on it's own ( OSX.1.5). I delete
this profile in any number of ways and it still comes up with the
same profile with the same creation date? Where is it getting this
kelvin/gamma data? My video card (DDParent)?
The MitsubishiDP920 X profile I create nails 6500k/2.2. Maintaining
the LUT loading from a raw restart, re-login means I always have to
boot OS9 then choose it's duped sister profile in the OS9 native
system folder under the monitors control (which resets the boot
loaded 9600/1.8 to 6500/2.2) and then the same in Displays under OSX
and then again in the Colorsync (OSX) Panel (in that order) to keep
it there. Once it's loaded it's very stable. Is this normal? (My
favorite Microsoft question by the way. ;0)
Also:
Why is it when I boot from OS 9 the same custom profile
(MitsubishiDP920 X) loads fine and better defines my onscreen
display? This also happens if I run PS6 in OS9 and PS7 OSX
simultaneously and compare. PS7 looks like it's running one profile
on top of the other (diminished blacks, saturation,etc) using
identical settings?
Why is there an sRGB Profile in the
rootsystem>library>colorsync>profiles folder sharing breathing space
with the Generic system profile family? Just a web thing?
Would you happen to know why all system created profiles in OSX.1.x
refer to themselves in the finder as Adobe PhotoShop Color Profile
Files? Setting 'Change all' file descriptors doesn't (and I'm the
Administrator). Is this another one of those 'root' vs 'wheel' things
I can butcher as a superuser?
Take your time...I'm in no rush for these as I'm busy accumulating a
wider based list of questions regarding other issues....;0)...maybe I
have too much time on my hands this morning....
