I have just invested in photocal/Syder 2.7 to calibrate a 17inch LCD apple
display. I am not having the success with this I had hoped for. My
questions /problems are as follows;
1 What are the factory default settings and how do I reset the monitor? It
certainly can not be done during the calibration process as requested as
there are no frontal controls.
2. My first attempts resulting in marked cyan/purple casts in shadow areas
on screen (not in print-outs) in de-saturated prints - I work mostly in b&w.
3. After dumping display/monitor/colorsync preferences and starting with
apple display as the highlighted starting point I managed finally to get an
even desaturated screen - slightly cyan throughout, but even. However it
seems too bright as print-outs are much darker and i have had custom
profiles made for my papers.
4. I was not sure which option to check; a. LCD monitor with prests or; b.
LCD monitor with no colour controls. I tried both and thought perhaps the
latter.
5. Finally I checked the gamma 2.2 option and screen temperature 6500
option as this seems to match out of house labs/ offices etc better. Is
this the right thing to do? And was it overridden by the calibration
process anyway?
Please can someone give me some pointers. I calibrated with the room as
dark as possible as instructed with no light on the screen. It seems more
sensible however to calibrate in a more realistic working light.
