monitor on my Vista system? Would that include non imaging applications
such as Word or Internet Explorer?
Yes, you understood me correctly.
I installed Windows Vista Business on one of my Intel Macs when I had the wide-gamut display.
Vista appeared to default untagged RGB and unmanaged tagged RGB to sRGB and displayed sRGB correctly on my high-gamut Dell display.
If you are on a Windows Vista box, I don't believe you will see the intense-saturation problem viewing sRGB color on these wide-gamut monitors.
here is a link for information and troubleshooting this problem on a Mac:

Thanks for the info. I don't uplaod to the web YET, so that part isn't a real issue. I do my personal stuff as prints. I don't expect stuff outside of PS to look perfect. "A bit off" is ok but "really Crappy" would bother me.
Thanks,
Doug

GREAT NEWS!!!!!
* One subtle detail is that Flash Player 10 now supports basic color management--more
than a little important when you're working across media and want to keep
your images looking good. I plan to share more details about this support
soon.
Yeaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

I had lots of irritation when I got a new NEC 2690
and CS 4 with new save for web dialog at the same time.
all the too red skintones and also slightly increased contrasts.
what I did is converting all the sRGB images to Adobe RGB(1998), then
used the same save for web settings as d cole suggested.
result: works on my NEC wide gamut and also on older NEC 2090.
and... I use a flash website. It works!
tested with firefox, opera and safari.
thanks!

if that is recommending putting color based on Adobe RGB on the web just because it looks good on a few Macs running wide gamut monitors in unmanaged browsers just keep in mind some 99% of other users will be seeing AdobeRGB color differently in their web browsers: more pale, less saturated, washed out color (than what the Mac is displaying in Photoshop)

Everyone but the Luddites will have a wide gamut in a couple years.
Even me , the last of the late adopters.

My CRTs are in such good state that they will certainly outlive me, Luddite or not.

When the guy with the scythe comes to your door, Ramon, you'll probably tell him to f*** off.

I doubt very much he'd bother coming to the door. :D

i had a problem and maybe my solution will help here.
I scan 35mm slides for my friend/colleague, a world-famous art
photographer. Then i edit the resulting files. (It's a crime the way he
stores his slides. Forget fingerprints, we're talking hoof prints! I've
been editing his stuff since the early eighties and still sometimes
need an hour or two just for one slide.)
The files need to be available for use in two different ways. First,
they end up on the web. (Take a look if you like.
http://hamilton-archives.com). For that, i need to produce JPGs that
reside in the sRGB space.
Second, they are printed out when an order for a print arrives.
(Admittedly, at $10,000 per print, we don't sell many!) For that, i
need a wider gamut to make the image look its best. (Luckily, my scans
are around 250 MB so i have plenty of data to play with.)
So, in Color Settings, i have chosen Adobe RGB as the working space. If
I did nothing else, i would now have over-saturated colors so I
Desaturate Monitor by 10%. (Monitor calibrated by Gretag-Macbeth but
not a very wide gamut.)
Then i go over to View Menu and choose Proof Setup/Custom and choose
sRGB.
Resulting .PSD files print beautifully and .JPg files also look how we
want them on the web.

Thanks guys. I can't afford (yet) to devote different monitors to different tasks - I need a multitasker. I think I'll hold off for a bit on this. On a lighter note, I asked the guys over on the Mac side about this and they seem to have some real issues with it.
Thanks,
Doug
