| Here I have to disagree at least in so far as Win 98 is concerned. On
| systems using Win 98 and 98SE, only the primary monitor can be calibrated
| using Adobe or any operating system calibration features. The secondary
| monitor display has to be calibrated by means of the monitor's hardware
| adjustments. White point temperature settings, gammas, and phosphors
| identification and settings can only be set via software for the primary
| monitor. This, as I understand it, is a limitation of the OS. Since
color
| management and the use of device dependent color profiles is also governed
| by the OS, color management tends to apply only to the primary monitor as
| well and not to the secondary monitor. Hence one cannot apply color
| management via profiles across monitors if you are using different makes
and
| types of monitors, when both monitors are operating simultaneously. the
| primary monitor's profile governs both monitors.

| Embedding profiles in your images is a topic in and of itself - I would

|

to

|

| | Ok, Ive been on this list for some time now, and understand most
| | of the technical stuff (Im a computing lecturer so that side of
| | things is easy). However, Ive just got Photoshop 6, and a
| | Dualhead Matrox Card - with two monitors - one old 20 inch
| | heavy use, and one new 17 inch shiny new!
| |
| | Ive just realised to my great pleasure that dual monitor
| | setups are fantastic - but Ive also realised that the tweaking
| | that Ive been doing to scans on my old screen mean nothing.
| | To my horror they transform themselves to a whole new
| | image on the new screen. Ugh - drag an image from one to
| | the other and BOOM - it changes dramatically. When you see it
| | head to head you realise that it makes a real difference.
| |
| | Now heres my question - what do I need to do to keep the best
| | archival quality image data in terms of profile embedding?
| | Any preferences out there or is it safe to go with the Adobe
| | ones ... hints tips et al welcomed.
