Well, Stephanie. Your timing is great. I needed to get my displays
profiled while I'm waiting for the ColorVision folks to write the OSX
drivers for my DTP92, so I just bought the PhotoCal/LCD-CRT Spyder
package as the cheapest way to get the job done in the interim. It
also had the advantage of providing me with a way to calibrate my
pallet monitor, which is an older 15" LCD Apple Studio Display (the one
on the pedestal). My main monitor is a 21" Sony CRT which profiles
beautifully with PreCal/OptiCal and the DTP92, but with the
uncalibrated LCD monitor it was a little hard to choose colors from the
pantone swatches to use on the calibrated screen.
Anyway.... I just got my Spyder today and ran it with OptiCal on the
LCD. What is interesting from your e-mail is your mention of the
images appearing natural when your display is set to A98. After
profiling my LCD, I opened the Display Prefs and switched back and
forth between some of the profiles. I was interested to see how
different the screen looked from the generic profile I had been using
(quite), but the funny thing was that my profiled LCD was a virtual
dead-ringer for ColorMatch and A98.
This may not be very helpful, but it is an odd bit of coincidence.
