Hi,
I've been spending more time with digital photography so I'm trying to get up to speed on color management. I have the original 15" aluminum powerbook which had the white spot problem so I recently had Apple install a new display. After getting the new display I used a Monaco EZ XR to do a calibration profile.
Running the Monaco calibrator I opted for 2.2gamma and a dim (night) ambient setting. During the brightness step the calibrator software was directing me to turn the brightness way down - 6 out of 16 dots on the Apple brightness setting. I did another run in a day-lit room with a bright ambient option and still the calibrator was directing me toward the 12 of 16 brightness setting.
I'm new to this but still wondering why the calibration software would want my screen so dim. Is this common - or did I miss something in calibration? Seems like the display manufacturers have been trying to produce brighter LCDs with wider contrast ranges. So, wouldn't using a dim brightness setting curtail the capability of the display.
thanks for any info, -den.
