Hey all, this topic is not photoshop-exclusive, but more related to Mac display settings issue, I think that this was the best place to put it, but do SLAP me if I'm mistaken. :assspank: :blah:
I hope any experienced mac-user can help me out getting the "formula" to set the Mac's screen display color and/or gamma up in order to have a good equivalence between screen colors and printed work color... the other day my friend and I were looking at my friend's artwork online, and she was shocked about how different her artwork looked in my computer, and then showed me printed copies of her artwork telling me that that was the way they were supposed to look like... and man, they looked very different indeed!
So I looked at the preference pane / display / color and saw that I was using the standard display profile called "imac". I never bothered about this before since I was pretty happy with my "imac" display settings, but if I've been getting wrong colors all the way to now, I definitely want to change it. I just don't want to see things one my computer different from the way they are meant to!
So, if anyone using a mac with an appropriate display setting for doing graphic work , PLEASE tell me how it's calibrated in order to calibrate mine too... I already googled this a lot but couldn't find anything specific enough.
I own an Imac G5 in case you wanna know.
I appreciate any kind of input! :teeth:
