indraneel Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 <p>I have a prophoto workflow on capture NX2 and CS2. My wide gamut monitor (HP LP2275 profiled using spyder2 (I do not have a spyder3) and argyll) shows the same colors even after a profile conversion to sRGB. The colors remain identical even though histogram clips at both ends after converting to sRGB. Am I missing something? Dragging the image to my sRGB laptop screen (fujitsu A3130 profiled with spyder2 and argyll) desaturates the colors as it should be.</p> <p>Is this how wide gamut monitors work or have I set something wrong? This is on Vista 32bit home premium. I use dispwin to install the profiles and the colors shift when the profiles get installed.</p> <p>Also, I'm looking for a monitor replacement. Please see <a href="../digital-darkroom-forum/00UpP1">this thread</a> .</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
15sunrises Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 <p>In CS2, if you go up to View -> Proof Setup, and set it to Monitor RGB, do you still have the same issue?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indraneel Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 <p>Setting to monitor RGB desaturates the colors a bit and it looks brighter than windows RGB. Do you say I have to proof in sRGB even after a profile conversion? What are monitor/windows/macintosh RGB?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
