Gamma: 1.8 or 2.2, etc.

I have a Mac G5 (1995), OS 10.5.8, Radeon 9600 and a LaCie electron 22 CRT, with PS CS4 b, processing camera raw and adobe RGB. I need a calibrator monitor (use an old Spyder, but unhappy with it) and get a LCD LaCie die. My questions are:

(1) can I use the same brand/system calibrator for CRT and LCD monitors? (The LCD would likely be a NEC PA 271 or similar). If 'yes' for some systems of calibration, do you have a preference? At the same time, Monaco Optix XR Pro has been recommended for the LaCie crt, but x-rite redeemed than the competition. Other recommended (some years ago) for the LaCie are x-rite i1D2 and Coloreyes Display Pro 3.10. But this last Web site (ColorManagement.com) does not inspire confidence. LaCie Blue Eye Pro is just an x - rite (?) renamed. And the sensor must be a DTP-94, right?

NEC Spectraview II - offers us its own highly respected custom calibration system - but that probably wouldn't work with the old LaCie.

(2) I've seen both 1.8 and 2.2 gamma preferred for Mac systems. This setting depends on the operating system and hardware? For my current installation, is 1.8 the correct number? What about Lightroom 3 on a Mac?

(3) is ColorMunki, no good for the calibration of printer (Epson R2400), being made by an amateur of rank?

Thank you very much for your help!

Many of the older calibrators monitor have been optimized to the General range of the monitors of the period - sRGB or surroundings and often perform well with wide range LCD screens. You should be fine with the new models. X-Rite seems to be the preferred device. If I were to buy one today, it's what I'd buy.

"I saw the 1.8 and 2.2 gamma preferred for Mac systems. This setting depends on the operating system and hardware? For my current installation, is 1.8 the correct number? What about Lightroom 3 on a Mac? »

He has long gamma 1.8 was recommended, and even then, it was usually for the wrong reasons. Who really comes a time before hardware calibration and applications that support the profile where gamma 1.8 gave a closer match with black and white laser printers and CMYK default configurations before Ps 5.0.

The native gamma of most monitors is of the order of 2.2 to 2.4, so calibrate to the 2.2 standard generally results in less than a correction applied in lookup tables of video card, lessoning the potential of Posterization screen too dry for 8-bit monitor data. In addition, the most popular working color spaces are already gamma 2.2 or one of its derivatives and keep your monitor using 2.2 to displaying color unmanaged web images.

So, the key is that you must use gamma 2.2 on Mac or PC, old or new. ColorMunki is fine for your printer profiles.

  • Pix & Editor Photo Manager of LR etc.?

    I spent all my time to test recent editors of different photos - Raw processing, Lightroom, darktable, Capture One, Lightzone, Photoshop Elements, affinity, ACDC Mac Pro, DXO Optics 11 - on and on. Most of them is best editors (IMO) than pictures, but I prefer the ease of use and search for photo management. And since we now have two "extensions" and in particular the extension "External editors", I wonder why I should not simply use pictures for management and my 'catalogue' and some minor/quickie changes and exit to all others, I prefer to do more complex work.

    I mean, what's wrong with this picture? Photos is pretty quick and easy, good import, has a few basic changes, and fantasy guys are always more or less available, either by extensions (or some of them) and by export and re - import (even if it work you on duplicates, I suppose).

    Anyway, would love to hear from someone who has tried this or he tries now, how it worked, and what are the limits, what to watch out for, etc.

    Thank you very much.

    That's what I've done since publishing extensions became available.

    My main reason to stick with Photos is iCloud photo library.  There is no other easy way to sync my library of Photos between multiple Macs.

    I found that I must not fall back on the Photo editing spotted too often. I'm careful to take my pictures so they don't need much editingbeyond straighten the horizon lsightly, cropping, perhaps to correct the white balance and adjust the highlights and shadows. Everything that can be done in pictures.

    I mainly use extensions or external for a correction of perspective editors, if it was not possible to take the picture with the correct perspective, for the smoothing of the skin and for touch-ups. I try to avoid extensions if mounting can be done in Photos, for two reasons:

    • Extensions create a new master file almost, like Aperture. Then they break up which edition.
    • And they are not yet as stable as I could wish. For example, extensions of affinity cannot edit some panoramic shots, they can reframe the edited section. And I often get an error message when I try to save the modified version - for affinity extensions and extensions site, for the most part, if I try to apply multiple extensions to the same photo.
  • Current iphone replacement with a new one. Backup / restore of the Questions etc.

    Hello

    Im sure that these questions have been answered before, but I would be very grateful for any quick answer please.

    Then someone gave me a new iPhone from my provider to replace my current one and I think that I will most likely accept the offer. In this respect do I just need to backup my iphone on iTunes and then when I boot the new iphone for the first time select the option "restore iphone" in order to ensure the same things that I have on my current iphone will appear on my new? Assuming this is correct is iTunes also backup apps?

    In regards to my sim card, I guess it's just my phone contacts (names and numbers, etc.) which are stored on where are these details stored on my phone, in which case this detail would be on the sim card? Once again it is just a matter of swapping the sim card from one phone to another?

    Finally if I want then to trade, sell or pass on my current iphone how to do that safely? A factory Reset deletes all current data completely from him and if so how should I actually go do a factory reset?

  • Compatibility «?» (Mac Pro Tower / Firewire / climax together, etc..)

    I take Logic Pro 9, but after looking at all the improvements for Logic Pro X, I can't wait to get up to speed.

    I like the look of the improvements to the plug-in; logic adding distance (not available for LP9?); Drum Kit Designer, synthesizer, etc.

    When he (LP10) announced that there is a flagrant limitation I had with my current set-up but I don't remember what the hiccup was... perhaps there is none and I could be good-to-go.  Can anyone confirm if and where I'm looking at compatibility problems?

    System: Mac Pro Tower (mid-2010) 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xenon

    OS: 10.10.5 (Yosemite)

    Interface: Climax together - Firewire

    If I remember, the question I met was first introduced with the announcement of Logic Pro X was he needed El Capitan - which did not offer the divers "Core Audio" / support, which means that overall height (Firewire) would be uncertain if even not work at all.  "" Looking at the "tech specs" on Logic Pro X, it supports OS X 10.10.  That looks promising (if it in fact the issue with El Capitan and the lack of support for Core Audio driver still exists).

    Can I run Logic Pro X to Yosemite?

    Can I run overall height (FireWire) in El Capitan without the Core Audio Driver issues / Firewire?

    Thanks in advance!
