correct?
On Windows it may be possible, but its not trivial. On the Mac you can
profile both monitors, and the video card corrections for each will be
applied by the OS, and savvy applications like Photoshop will use both the
profiles automatically as well. You still need to be careful, as dragging an
image from one screen to another will drag the wrong color definitions along
with it. Some action that redraws the pixels from scratch is needed to apply
the new color defintions from the current monitor. I haven't found any way to
calibrate and profile multiple monitors with Monaco's new Optix, but I've
been doing if for years with OptiCAL and PhotoCAL.
