Thomas and Karl,
i too like Roger now have eyebrows like reefknots...
Is this new advice? I have don't recall ever reading anything about
correlating monitor calibration to preferred working spaces before.
Previously I would have calibrated to D65/2.2/120cd/m2 and chosen
Adobe1998 as default working space, which sounds like it passes
muster. However, both Coloureyes and basciCColor, recommend L*, with
no mention of the need to change working spaces for optimum
performance, so by changing to a recommended space I could actually
make my situation worse? And what happens to tagged images in other
colour spaces? Or am I missing something?
Eric

as UDACT whilst recommending luminance of at least 120cd/m2 also
suggests D50/160cd/m2/L*. My feeling is that the 160 luminance is
partially to offset the D50? But in my clients case we are not
comparing to a viewing booth directly, so up to now I have been
calibrating to D65/120/gamma2.2.
Guys, when selecting a gamma (or tone curve) for calibration the
most important consideration is what your workspace of choice is.
If you calibrate to L* and use Adobe RGB as you workspace, the
graphics card lut will steal about 20% of your levels, if you
calibrate to Gamma 1.8 (and use Adobe RGB) you loose around 10%...
L* is fantastic as long as you use ECI RGB v2 or another L* based
workspace.
If you use ECI RGB v1, Apple RGB or ColorMatch, you need gamma 1.8,
if you use Adobe RGB(1998) or sRGB, it's gamma 2.2.
