Title: XBrite Monitors
Post by: Steven M Anthony on September 20, 2005, 01:49:47 pm
I'm thinking of buying a laptop with XBrite technology in the screen--produces quite vivid results.

My question is how this will work for post-processing photos.  I use PS CS and I'm concerned that the screen is somehow pumping up the contrast in a way that won't get picked up by my printer.

Now, I use a laptop without XBrite.  I haven't done sophisticated calibration--just used Adobe Gamma.  I don't get a perfect match between screen and print--but close enough for a hobbyist.

Does anyone know if XBrite technology will screw up prints, or if it can be turned off?

Thanks,

Steve
