I always see people saying that having a different gamma on different
monitors will cause the image to look different.... which makes sense
to me.
What I don't understand is how that's possible when you're using
photoshop as it's supposed to compensates for all that stuff. If I'm
using 5000k and 1.8 on one system, won't the image look the same on
another running 6500 and 2.2 when I'm in photoshop? Same thing with
working spaces..... doesn't matter what I use (gamma of working space
vs. gamma I have set on my monitor) because photoshop compensates, no?
The only thing I can think of is people not using photoshop. If these
other programs don't understand profiles, what exactly happens? I
thought the icc monitor profiles loaded some curves into the video
card LUT so programs that didn't do profiles could still show an
accurate image.
Can anyone clear up my confusion?
And speaking of gamma, I downloaded the coloreyes display demo to see
what the L* stuff is all about. When I use that, will the resulting
gamma be closer to 1.8 or 2.2? I'm just curious what I will see vs.
someone who doesn't really have a calibrated display whether they're
on a mac or pc. I'm assuming calibrated (and in photoshop) won't
matter.
Thanks for the help,
Mark
