OK – so I took everyone’s advice about how I have to
calibrate my monitor if I’m going to get accurate prints. I got a Spyder2 Pro.

I’ve spent several hours making different profiles using the RGB setting on my Sony CRT.

My first question is how to use the RGB settings. The Sony offers RGB settings and in the same place, it offers RGB settings with the contrast icon.

So it looks like I can set RGB, RGB contrast and/or both, to achieve even rgb bars on the Spyder.

Should I only use the plain RGB?

And…..what is "luminance" and how do I know what is the right luminance?

Thanks for all your help. Even with all my questions, the prints are already a good better but now I’d like to really get it "right".
