I'm looking for some new software to drive my MonacoOptix XR Pro
(DTP94) colorimeter. Besides Color Eyes Display Pro and BasICColor
Display 4 are there other choices?
Also I'm trying to reconcile the Gamut Compression feature that
MonacoOptix allows one to invoke and the lack of Gamut Compression
controls with newer software. Has that feature fallen out of favor?
MonacoOptix lets me build a profile on my Apple LCD using a default
gamut compression setting of 60 percent. With this setting I can see a
difference between a fully saturated synthetic ProPhoto blue of 0 0
255 and say another blue patch of 60 0 255. Plus I can see the
differences between the fully saturated Adobe RGB primaries and
ProPhoto fully saturated primaries. (Take swatches of the Adobe
primaries and convert them to ProPhoto using relative and compare to
swatches made in ProPhoto)
When I select a new ICC display profile built with new software I
loose all definition in my saturated primaries. If I try to use the
Photoshop feature "Desaturate Monitor Colors by X percent" the effect
is not the same as I'm seeing with my trusty MonacoOptix profile.
Photoshop is much flatter and washed out as if it was screened.
In short I really like the display profiles MonacoOptix builds for me
but the software is out of date for the newest systems.
I have also tried using the Eye-One Display 2 puck and Eye-One Match
software but the results are the same, a lack of definition in fully
saturated primaries. The new software and hardware I've mentioned,
they build nice profiles, its just that with my old software I feel
I'm getting a better or more versatile profile.
Thank you for your thoughts,
David Wollmann
