Not sure I follow you. You need to do all the switching of colorspaces within the Artisan software. If you switch outside that application and then go into it, the status will say uncalibrated. So I'd have the application open, switch rez and click on the corresponding colorspace that matches that resolution. You should see the Artisan software update and then Calibrated will pop up on screen. It would be cool if you could just switch using some other means and the Artisan software could detect this and then automatically switch to the right colorspace but then if you had several settings (I have several contrast ratio's), I'm not sure how it would know which to select.
------------------
Not exactly, according to a test I just ran. If the Artisan application is closed, then what you say is the case; there is no reassignment of the monitor profile.
However, if the Artisan application is open, even in the background (and I often leave Artisan application open and hidden, so that it is available for easy access), the monitor profile will be reassigned to whatever profile is keyed to the new resolution and falls toward the top of the list alphabetically ; i.e., the topmost choosable profile in the list.
I am saying that a more logical behavior would be to automatically select the last used profile for the new resolution rather than the one that falls first alphabetically. I would think that that logic would be the one that would most likely follow a user's intent. And I would suspect that not everybody even thinks to explicitly go into the Artisan application every time they switch resolutions, unless they have become aware that they've been bitten by it.
For example, say that I keep gamma 2.2 and gamma 1.8 variants of a D65 350-ACR setup. I have the Artisan application open and hidden. My current resolution is 1600x1200,85Hz and my selected profile is the 2.2 variant. I switch to another resolution, and let's not even bother with what profile is selected by the Artisan application. I then switch back to the former resolution, and lo and behold -- the profile that is now selected is the 1.8 variant. Why?
If you can agree with my logic, perhaps either of you, Andrew or Bruce, as Artisan testers, might have better luck getting the information to the powers that be in the Artisan group than I seem to have been.
