Ok, I've now managed to narrow the problem down to my monitor profiles. I
guess I should of mentioned I'm running a Lacie 19" CRT from my 12" PB.
It seems when I disconnect the second monitor and run the test just on the
PB screen everything is fine. However, when I plug the Lacie back in the
Photoshop image adjusts to what ever monitor it is on, but the Illustrator
and Acrobat images are bound by the monitor profile they were first
displayed with.
So then when I set the Lacie profile on the lap top as well, and re-open the
Illustrator file it displays correctly, but the acrobat file still appears
to be sending the numbers the PB screen needs and not the Lacie.
So then when I re-start acrobat it catches up and everything displays
correctly.
Can anyone suggest a way to get this consistency across applications with
out having to run my lacie profile on my lap top to avoid confusion.
Sorry if this is starting to not make any sense.
Thanks,
David Harradine
