The 1.2 update for the Sony Artisan has appeared on Sony's website <
http://www.ita.sel.sony.com/support/displays/legacy/GDM-C_Series_1.html>. (Don't ask me why it's listed as a legacy display, but it's not a new URL, either.)
1) My first question concerns determining the ideal contrast ratio: 300:1 (PrintRGB), 400:1 (PhotoRGB), or 500:1 (FineArtRGB). I
With version 1.1, I was using the 300:1 ratio at D65/g2.2. I am about to embark on a marathon project of separating many RGB graphics to CMYK. Naturally, I want optimal fidelity throughout the image, but I would prefer to create a realistic relationship between my shadow values in Photoshop and what I can actually get on press. If I up the contrast ratio to 400-500, will I risk seeing too much shadow detail and the attendant possibility of not opening up my shadows sufficiently compared to the prior 300:1 ratio?
2) My second question concerns the new capability to calibrate to the natural gamma of the monitor. What are your thoughts about this feature?
I am working in a room with medium ambient light during the day and medium-to-low (more controllable) ambient light at night. Before running too many variant calibrations, I'll wait for a response -- particularly from some of the Artisan 1.2 beta testers. Thanks.
