philgoble Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I have a Dell 3007wfp-hc on a Dell XPS410 running XP with a Nvidia GeForce7900GS card. I have calibrated the monitor using an Eye-One Display 2. Theresults after calibration are gamma 2.2, temperature 6500 and luminance 120. Iam using the latest versions of Photoshop and Bridge CS3. My default colorspace in Photoshop CS3 is Adobe RGB. After launching a photo via Bridge into Photoshop through Camera raw my color isgood. If I soft proof to Monitor RGB from Adobe RGB it looks the same. Myunderstanding is this should be the case. Is this correct? If I soft proof to Windows RGB from Adobe RGB I see a color shift to a lesssaturated environment. My understanding is this should be the case. Is thiscorrect? I then convert profile from Adobe RGB to sRGB IEC61966-2.1.If I soft proof to Windows RGB from sRGB IEC61966-2.1 it looks the same. Myunderstanding is this should be the case. Is this correct? If I soft proof to Monitor RGB from sRGB IEC61966-2.1 I see a color shift towhat I would describe as more saturated, but that is probably oversimplifyingit. Is this what I should expect? My goal is to get the jpegs created for my website, so I can see that runningfrom the sRGB color space through Save for Web & Devices will get images thatlook good on most non-calibrated Windows monitors. My concern is that thosesame photos (which I actually reviewed on other computers that look good) arenot as pleasing on my calibrated monitor in non-color managed applications (i.e.any web browser on Windows). Is my monitor not accurately calibrated? Is my goal to have the images lookgood on my calibrated monitor versus most people?s non-calibrated monitorunachievable? Thanks for reading this long post and for responding, if you choose to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
