I have been keeping up with all my digital workflow on my ibook .... to be honest when I realized how many of my clients did not have calibrated moniters ... I stoped worrying about it .. g'day Charles .... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Jun 22, 2005, at 2:35 PM, ernie nitka wrote: I was always told that you can't really calibrate a laptop screen but would like the groups opinion - I'm specifically looking at a Mac Laptop - anyone done it. Is is just the matter of angle of viewing, etc. ernie You can calibrate a LCD monitor with something like a Spyder Pro II color probe.The shift in contrast due to a change in viewing angle is one big reason why you really can't do color critical work on an LCD. A compressed dynamic range, as compared to a CRT, is the other problem. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
