Learn how to optimize Photoshop for maximum speed, troubleshoot common issues, and keep your projects organized so that you can work faster than ever before!
For the last year I have been trying to use LCD panels for Photoshop. I have tried calibrating with both a Monaco Optix and Spyder 2 device. Colors are accurate but the prints are always too dark unless I apply an arbitrary amount of lightening using the curves or CS3 brightness slider. I would judge the difference to be at least 2 f stops. I dug out and calibrated an old NEC CRT, which has dimmed a bit with age. However judging brightness on this old CRT yields the WYSWYG prints I am unable to achieve with the LCD without applying arbitrary pre-print tweaks. Will devices like the Spyder 3, that has a sensor for ambient room light, yield better results?LCD Screens omit a brighter picture than a Crt monitor. I have a NEC spectra view monitor which I set to 130 cm/m2. I always use soft proofing in CS3 before I print.Always assuming that your monitor has calibrated correctly and is of the quality to give you the correct colour display.Spyder 3 (what I use) will calibrate for ambient light using their software.
