Hi!

I have used Argyll with Linux and various photographic applications, and
have been very impressed with it.  It seems to generate considerably
more accurate profiles for my monitor than Monaco Optix2.0, the
application that I use under Windows.  (Thanks, Graeme!!!)  Therefore, I
would like to use it with Windows, as well.

Unfortunately, I have not had a great deal of success with this.  I have
been able to generate and install shaper profiles, but I believe I'm
doing something wrong.  The images I see with most color-manage
application (such as Photoshop and Canon DPP) are awful.  They have
extremely high contrast, and garish colors.  Oddly, this is not the case
with FastStone MaxView with ICM color managemet turned on.

I suspect that I'm committing a foolish mistake in some part of the
profile generation or use.  Are there any easy newbie goofs that are
likely to have this sort of result?

Thanks!

David
