4. It appears that Match does automatic OBA detection. It kicked in
for most papers I knew had OBAs, but not all. It didn't for Canson
Photosatin. Most of the papers I use have zero or low OBAs but not
having control over this is a concern. Alternatively, I could go for
a spectro with UV cut. I note that Atkinson's spectros are UV-cut and
it doesn't seem to detract from his readings.
Everyone has their opinion on this. I personally don't use an UV
filter in
my work. But I have seen other use them "with success", they say.
One sure
way to avoid needing them is to stay with OB-free papers, like the
ProofLine
PressWhite (a* close to zero and b* around -2).
I've since been informed that Canson Photosatin doesn't use OBA's,
but Match didn't detect them for Hahnemühle Photo Rag which I know
does. I've done some more reading and this (UV cut or not) is a hot
topic!
5. Assuming I stick with LOGO Colorful, what improvements can I
expect from a possible future upgrade to PM5 PhotoStudio, other than
the ability to use larger targets and more control over OBAs?
I'll let others handle this question.
It seems to me that unless you wanted to use older gamut-mapping
options (Classic or Chroma Plus) the only thing Photostudio buys you
is better editing options. Unless I've missed something ...
I think I'll also go for a Monaco OptixXR (or a Display 2 if I
can get one cheap) even if I opt for the Eye-One Pro.
The Optix has all my respects but I would give you a second chance to
evaluate the EyeOnePro for monitor calibration. I can remember
having lot's
of trouble just getting my system together so that I would not get
corrupted
calibration, regardless of the instrument I would use. So, make
sure your
system is in good order before you try whichever instrument you
elect to
buy. Because you could still be disapointed.
I'll give the Pro another try.
Thanks,
Stephen Best
