- Thread-topic: Optical and OS interaction
I've got a system-level questions to ask:
Optical generates a monitor profile and this profile gets stored in the
"correct" folder in Win 2k or XP. Once that profile is stored, what
role does Optical play in the operating system? I see that the screen
changes color when Optical loads during bootup, but doesn't the OS
handle the screen color adjustment using the profile? Does Optical have
any actual function during routine operations aside from generating the
profile? Colorvision says that Optical "activates the profile" but
won't or couldn't explain what that meant.
Colorvision also said that with Macs that Optical was not actually
active other than while generating the profile. Macs (at least under OS
9) use Colorsync to adjust the monitor using the Optical-generated
custom monitor profile. I understand this, but shouldn't that be the
same with PC's running 2k or XP?
Thanks for the bandwidth. If you want to send email, it's
