I know that e.g. the authors of "Real World Color Management" think
2.2 is "the best" from
a visual POV. Others argue 1.8 is superior, still others favor *L.
Just don't muck around here at all, stick to native.
OK. This would be the most reduced version which could be fine for the
most entry-level users, but I think a Preferences setting doesn't hurt.
Why guess? And we all know that a TRC 2.2 gamma is going to be a
closer guess than 1.8.
On a Mac, it's the other way round.
But it doesn't matter really. Certainly not in ICC aware applications.
My point. :-)
Outside of ICC aware applications, its all science fiction anyway.
Outside of ICC aware applications, it's "stick to the default of the
host OS".
I have pages and pages sent to X-Rite during beta. Here's an example
of just
one: Display Wizard, Easy versus Advanced. I’m a new users who is
targeted
to use this product. What’s the difference in Easy Mode versus
Advanced?
Which should I pick and why? Text: Please verify your display type
below is
ALL you need to say here.
In Advanced, IF I click on Optimize the Luminance Level, Optimize
Brightness
is also checked but if I uncheck this 2nd check box, the first
remains.
Also, there’s no clear understanding of what Optimize Brightness and
Luminance is, why do you have both?
I think "Easy" and "Advanced" mode is pretty much standard computer
parlance, but I agree with you with regard to the "Brightness" and
"Luminance" options.
Interestingly, the reason why I find these confusing is exactly the
same why I would oppose replacing the term "gamma" by something more
vague: I just don't know exactly what these options are actually
doing; the really opaque term here being "optimize".
Bye
