calibrate a lacie 319 and a powerbook with blue eye?

[oq]

Hey,

 

Just replaced my stationary PC with a powerbook and just ran into a

problem. I have a screen attached to the PB wich I'm calibrating using

lacie's blue eye colorimeter.

What I'm wondering is, is it possible to also calibrate the PB screen

with the same blue eye? How? The software doesn't give me any answers

and I'm quite new to the macintosh environment (I got the pb four

hours ago) so I can't find any answers there either.

I've seen people running two calibrated screens side by side, but is

it possible with a PB monitor and a 319, using the blue eye 2

colorimeter?

 

Thanks /Fred

Hey Fred,

I am certainly no expert on this subject, but I did just calibrate my Lacie Electron Blue

(which is the external display that I use for my Mac Powerbook) with an EyeOne

Calibrator by GretagMacbeth. The instructions stated that you could only calibrate

one display per computer video card. They suggested choosing the display that is

used most for color intensive work. I chose to calibrate my external display (the Lacie)

since I only use the Powerbook as a desktop replacement and rarely use its' display.

Hope this may help.

I'm also no expert, but I tried to calibrate my La Cie with an Imac, and kind of was told by

La Cie that couldn't work. Of course, they were willing to tell me it would work, if I could

pick the La Cie monitor from the computer to calibrate - but I couldn't turn off the primary

screen (LCD) of the Imac.

 

On the other hand, the PB should give you that option. Good luck - look into the Apple

System Pref's for the monitors. It may be that the PB monitor can be turned off with an

external monitor.
