I understand that it is basically a hopeless task and that what you suggest is the best I could do. So let me ask two questions. 1. Given my monitor is already calibrated/profiled, how would I go about editing as if I were using a "standard" SRGB monitor? 2. Given that I've already edited the photos, how to I go about transforming them so the results are close to what I would have got as in question 1? -- Leonard Evens len@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Professor Emeritus, Department of Mathematics, Northwestern University
