Being now the owner of an I1 I have given my Spyder with Photocal to a friend.
We installed the software on his PC (Pentium IV, Nvidea GForce 4) with Win XP
Pro and the first calibration seemed fine so far. After a week or so he made a
new monitor profile and got a green cast on all of his photos when he opened
them in Photoshop. He said that he had to turn down the blue gun quite a bit in
order to adjust the white point to 6500 K and to get all three channel bars
within the small window slit. BTW, the same photos showing a green cast in
Photoshop could be printed without any green cast on an Epson 2100 with Epson's
canned profiles. If he is using the monitor profile instead of the working space
in Photoshop the green cast disappears. I asked him to use a 50% gray desktop
background (RGB 128) and he says it looked neutral. An artifical image with a
neutral color also looks neutral in Photoshop. He also said that a calibration
with Adobe Gamma works fine, no green cast. Meanwhile I tested the Spyder on my
computer again and all seemed fine.
I have no clue what could be wrong and unfortunately, my friend is living 800 km
away, just a bit too far to stop by and say hello for a cup of tea. Any ideas
what the problem could be ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Peter
