Got it! I did turn it of for the profiling.
For what it's worth...on the laptop I'm typing on right now -- a MacBook Air --
I turned the automatic brightness adjustment off and set the brightness to 50%
when I profiled the display. Afterwards, I turned the automatic brightness
adjustment back on.
I'm not using the laptop for critical work. But I much, much, much prefer
working on something with a reasonably-well-profiled display even for stuff
like Web browsing. And the MacBook's implementation of the automatic adjustment
is pretty good...over typical indoor illumination ranges, the brightness of the
display is a "good enough" match for the brightness of a piece of paper held up
to it.
So Graeme is absolutely correct that you can't do critical work in such
variable environments, but that doesn't mean that there's no advantage to
profiling the display anyway. You just have to be realistic about what it is
you're accomplishing.
