I didn't realize that's what they were doing. They're including the spectral transmission characteristics of the filters? That's pretty cool. But you'd still need a spectrophotometer to ensure accuracy with any future display, no? -Rishi On Thu, Jun 23, 2011 at 7:32 AM, Gerhard Fuernkranz <nospam456@xxxxxx> wrote: > Am 21.06.2011 20:42, schrieb Knut Inge: >> >> Should the Spyder 3 correction curve ideally be 7-channel (as it is a >> 7-channel native sensor), or is it sufficient to do correction of the >> 3-channel default mix of those? > > Combining 7 channels to XYZ would basically require a 7x3 matrix.
