All,
First, ArgyllCMS is a really great set of tools and I'm absolutely impressed
with it! Combined with dispcalGUI this is some powerful stuff! My hats off to
all who made it work, I will be putting my money where my mouth is shortly and
contributing to both projects.
I have a few questions about ArgyllCMS, under Linux/Ubuntu 9.10:
1. How "well" does the ColorMunki+ current ArgyllCMS work for A) LCD
Calibration B) Print Calibration?
I'd like to buy a calibration device (mostly for display calibration) and I'm
thinking either ColorMunki or DTP-94b. My LCD displays are currently not the
newer wide-gamut, but I feel if I'm buying a calibration device, I should get
one that's future proof. And, if I need to calibrate my printer, the Munki
looks like the best reasonable option.
ColorMunki is a spectrophotometer, and DTP is a colorimeter, so my naive
thinking says the Munki should be better all around (accuracy, stability), both
for display profiling and output measurement.
2. Does anyone have dual-display working with a "dual" color calibrated setup?
Can you tell me what video card and configuration (TwinView, Xinerama, XRandR)
works for you?
I currently use an nVidia video card in "Twinview" mode (DVI+HDMI outputs), and
I understand TwinView does NOT let one load LUTs *per display*. So I'm
contemplating a low-power dual-output ATI video card (Radeon 4xxx or 5xxx
series) which I've heard DOES let you load LUTs per display/monitor.
However I'm not sure independent LUT per display is valid if you're using ATI's
equivalent of TwinView or if you're using XRandR1.2 or if you must use
Xinerama, etc. Any data points here would be greatly appreciated.
3. Is anyone successfully using their ICC profile with programs running under
WINE?
I have this dream of using CS4/CS5 color managed under Linux. I've read some
posts from people saying WINE does honor the ICC environment setting.
Thanks!
Victor
