Hi guys .
Is been a long time since my last post, my work schedule is just too tight and the little time I have left I dedicate to my long suffering family. I do apologize for my lack of sustantial contributions to the forum and hope you understand the situation.
Any way to matters at hand.
My Photography has really taken off (hence the lack of time) and I have found the need to upgrade my gear accordingly.
My latest acquisition, a very nice LaCie 724 Monitor.
I am generally happy with it but, I am having major problems with calibration.
The monitor came with RGB and SRGB selectable presets which work well but, the problem with those presets is that they are not evenly matched corner to corner, by this I mean that the edges seem brighter and so it is difficult to gauge detail in shadows/highlights.
The custom setting gives me even brightness throughout the monitor but , the moment I go into custom calibration (using the bundled blueye colorimeter and software, and /or Datacolor spider 2 pro) the reds and magrntas seem to glow and look (to me) overly saturated.
Has anyone experienced similar problems with this particular monitor and if so, how did you go about fixing it?.
Also, how do I set up Photoshop (CS4) colour spaces to work with this monitor?
Current settings are.
As an example and so that you guys can visualize what I have in front of me, here is an image I took on a my recent trip to Venice mask Carnival.
The image is tagged sRGB and opened (from left to right) in Light room 2.6, Photoshop CS4, Apple image viewer, Nero image viewer, and windows image viewer.
Can you see the difference in all applications? More to the point, note the large colour shift differences between CS4 and LR... which one do I trust?
Below system details (if that helps)
Intel Pentium quad core 2.6
Nvidia 9600Gt PCI Express card
8GB DDR2 Memory
LaCie 724 through DVI - I
Win 7 64 Ultimate
CS4, DPP, LR2.6
Any help will be very much apreciated.
