Hi, I did some other testing between yesterday and today. I have used the
i1Display 2 and the Spyder3elite. Both of them seem not very well suited for
the task. The Spyder3 doesn't give bad results but the colors are not ok,
the i1Display would give good colors if it were possible to take that
consistent red shift away, which makes the profiles unusable in the end.
I know this sounds very "unprofessional", but the best results that I could
get by far, came from Apple calibration utility, fine tuning what I could
see on screen against pictures printed on a well profiled printer from a
photo lab. As my purpose was to be sure that what I see on screen is close
to what is printed in the end, this was the more reliable way to go.
Now I'm using gamma 1.8 and a temperature around 5.8 K (printing on glossy
photo paper). The luminance is controlled somehow through the brightness
controll of the macbook, and is set one or two steps above the middle
setting.
For in studio work I would not recomend any of these means (rather using a
proper professional desktop LCD), but for some things that people could need
to do on the fly, this seems to be reasonable.
It's amazing that with all these technology that we have around us,
sometimes our eyes are still the best measurement instrument that we could
ever have :)
