I now use a viewSonc P225f (21") CRT monitor.
I do digital photo from within Ps-CS3.
I use "ADOBE RGB set to Gamma 1,5" color-space in CS3.
Print from Illustrator-CS3 with profiles
with my new Epson R2880 printer.
My screen-image (with soft-proofing on) match my prints very god.
I calibrate my monitor with the "AIM Color Dither Monitor Calibration Chart"
(
http://www.aim-dtp.net/aim/calibration/index.htm )
with the Adobe Gamma software (from Ps-7).
-----------------------------------------------------
Soner or later I have to bye a new monitor. And then I probably
have to bye a LCD.
Now I really don't have to do much monitor calibation. The monitor
is quite good and at gamma 2,5. So "Adobe Gamma software" is more for
setting the right (gamma 2,5) profile to the system.
------------------------------------------------------
Question:
But what will happen with a LCD monitor. How well calibrated is such a thing ?
------------------------------------------------------
(I have a LCD-tv that also is a monitor and I have two computers under my desk.
Normally they are both connected to my ViewSonic monitor.
I connected one of them to the LCD and tried to get an as good as possible
screen-image. There is monotor-calibration software to the LCD monitor.
But the LCD-screen-image is very far from the print.
The strange thing is that the CRT match the print is so well and the LCD so bad.)
