I’ve already looked through the database hoping to find some tips on this and done some reading online…but I’m having issues trying to calibrate Dell LCDs for Photoshop.
I’m a career Mac user moving to an XP prepress workflow for a new job. I’ve used Adobe Gamma and Optical extensively in the past and I feel very confident with Mac OS CM. I am attempting to calibrate a Dell LCD monitor with Adobe Gamma, but cannot get past the contrast/brightness adjustment. Brightness adjustments do not seem to affect the model in the first step. I’ve heard CM & LCDs can be problematic–should I just tell my employer to get me CRTs or am I just doing something wrong with Adobe Gamma?
I know that ultimately I’ll be better off using hardware such as the GM EyeOne or Colorvision USB Spyder, but I have to convince my boss to make the investment.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this or it’s already been answered and I missed the thread.
