| 386260 | 2005-09-05 10:38:00 | Have a Dell 17" flat screen monitor and need to adjust it with Adobe Gamma to get the screen to look like my printouts but I cannot see a way to adjust brightness/contrast on the monitor, only RGB values. Any help much appreciated. peejay |

Go to www . pcl . co . nz and they have a more sophisticated monitor calibrator, yeah via software and using your human eyes which you may need to rubb then out of focus before you can tell the difference in brightest etc etc . . :waughh: Thou if you pop on Ebay you prob get a hardware device for $75US . One is by Gregtagmacbeth Eye One Display, another is Monaco Optix . While you at it if you got a scanner does not matter cos u got a calibrated monitor to work with, you can edit . You will thererfore get a custom ICC monitor file to use . For printer Auckland does it for about $100 or more I think per profile like one for gloss paper and anothe for matt paper . Do a net search for "cathys profiles" for $40US I think, you print from your printer or labs printer and send it and they make you a custom ICC file . Far better than manufacturers ICCs . . There is a diff between Philps and Sony monitors or printers . If you lined up 10x the same Epson printer or 10x the same Sony monitor each will still be differenet . http://www . drycreekphoto . com/ A PDF guide there for a whole workflow . They also have some NZ labs ICC printer files there to be downloaded for free . Auckland pro lab www . pcl . co . nz have their ICC printer file for download . One for lustre and one for gloss I think . Its not just gamma, your monitor may have a color(s) shift also ;-) Cheers |
