I went out and bought the above colorometer, only to find out
when I got back that it isn't recommended for Linux. I live in
Thailand, and returns are not that easy. The installation CD has
a defect, so I could always try...
I have seen that profiling and calibrating should be possible in
linux. I'm doing it right now. I'm just wondering about the
'pro' bit of my expensive new purchase. This means that the
device is able to measure ambient lighting. On this page
(http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/instruments.html#spyd3) it says
"The ambient light sensor can be used with the Spyder3Elite and
Spyder3Pro instruments, but returns a monochrome reading"
Does this mean that the ambient light sensor is useless to me?
I am a complete beginner to this field; sorry if my question is
ignorant.
I only use my monitor in three conditions.
1) dark
2) fluorescent lighting
3) indirect sunlight
If I cannot go any further with the ambient light sensor in
linux, is there a way I can use it to measure the three lighting
situations I've given in Windows, and then to save three separate
profiles to be used under linux?
Many thanks,
Kit
