A few weeks ago I posted a question regarding an issue a photographer I do retouching for was encountering with her NEC display. That issue concerned the difference in how images appeared when displayed in Photoshop versus a web browser, when she calibrated/profiled her monitor using the Adobe RGB setting images that looked fine in Photoshop would look overly saturated and Red when viewed on the web using that display. From the responses I saw this seems to be a common problem, but one that still puzzles me because my wide Gamut Dell does not show this problem. But last week I heard from another retoucher friend who has a wide gamut NEC display who told me he also does not see a difference on his NEC, the difference here seems to be that he's not using the Adobe RGB setting. When calibrating/profiling his NEC he's setting the White Point, Gamma and luminance to his preferences instead of using their Presets. Has anyone else here tried calibrating an NEC display this way? And if so does that indeed "solve" the problem of images appearing different in Photoshop vs web browsers? And if so, what is the advantage to using SpectraView's presets? Thanks!

NEC PA 271w has soooooo many options on the device and in the device. These options need to be considered when preparing to profile and actually profile this monitor. Hardware an software use for profiling makes a difference. If I read like I know what I am writing about, I don’t! Not a color geek. I use help from various sources and keep stuff simple and elegant. For PA NEC 271w I use the NEC SpectraView II with version D x-rite i1Pro. Using this same i1Pro with i1Profler for profiling the PA NEC 271w gives me similar results t using SpectraView II. I chose to stick with SpectrView II. Did I help? Make things worse? Make things better? Signed……..non geek On Nov 20, 2013, at 10:41 AM, Dennis Dunbar <dennis@dunbardigital.com> wrote:

I'll bite. To have "parity" between Photoshop and a web browser, both must be on the same playing field, interpreting color the same way. That has nothing to do with one brand of monitor over another. If both the browser and Photoshop are set to interpret color the same way, say through sRGB, then a visual match will be observed. There is nothing wrong with the presets that come with Spectraview. They're designed to get you to certain sets of colors without your having to manually dial them down. That won't probably help but it's my two cents ;-) / Roger -----Original Message----- From: colorsync-users-bounces+graxx=videotron.ca@lists.apple.com [mailto:colorsync-users-bounces+graxx=videotron.ca@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Dennis Dunbar Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 1:41 PM To: colorsync-users@lists.apple.com Subject: NEC wide gamut issue A few weeks ago I posted a question regarding an issue a photographer I do retouching for was encountering with her NEC display.
