Hi all
Im in the process of calibrating my monitor using SuperCal as i dont have access to a hardware calibrator for now.
Although im on a mac, my ultimate goal is to get as near as i can to creating a windows set up (2.2 gamma etc) for when im doing web/Rom work.
I have been using the Apple Display Calibrator Assistant for years now, but im not happy with my results - my partner has the same monitor/setup as me (MITSUBISHI DIAMOND PRO 920) and the difference between our monitors differ quite a bit (hers seems to match more closely to others than mine does)
It wasnt until i submitted a piece of work for critique ( on the creativebits website: http://creativebits.org/ ) did i realise that everyone was seeing different colours on there monitors than i was seeing in mine.
i have saved a few profiles but im not to sure what things SHOULD look like.
So i ask you guys if you could tell me what colour you see on your monitor regarding the colour used on this site http://creativebits.org/ i would be very very greatfull.
Obviously im not looking for absolute fidelity but just a "ball park" basic so i know AT THE VERY LEAST what i should be seeing in the most basic sense.
My results vary primarily from these (calibrated under natual lighting - not directly effecting monitor - not too bright room - morning - cloudy day outside):
A: my standard sRGB profile
medium/dark greens
B: NUR1905
medium/medium-dark greens
C: SuperCal generated 9300k/1.8 gamma
medium grey & 3/4 black (dark grey)
D: SuperCal generated 9300k/2.2 gamma
between medium-dark grey & dark grey
E: SuperCal generated 9300k/2.5 gamma (which supercal states is equivalant to a un-calibrated windows machine)
slate/blue-grey & dark blue grey
i know this is a very subjective thing im asking, but as i said "ball park" is all im looking for as to point me in the right direction.
thanx all that can help.
