Me again…
Considering all the problems I am having, I am wondering if the EyeOne probe is the best tool to profile a screen. There are others probes on the market : is there anywhere a comparison between the results obtained with each probe ? Some people have tried several probes, and they say that the results are far from being identical, but I have not found any detail or conclusion.
Yesterday, I spent some time talking to a technician in a professional lab, which uses a Frontier. I wanted to know how he profiled his screens. Blank wall : the settings have all been adjusted by Fuji technicians, and Photoshop does not show what profile the screen uses…
I am now wondering if I should not forget about profiling. I have written down the hardware settings corresponding to the 6500°K white point, and I am considering using PowerStrip to adjust the screen colors to the prints I received from the lab : my screen won’t be profiled, but at least what I will see in Photoshop will be identical to the prints made on the Frontier – anyway, I am not considering getting a printer : a Frontier print is cheaper.
Does that make sense ?
