Alin, SuperCal calibrates the whole curve. In fact you decide interactively decide how many points you want to set on the curve (the hard work is yours). 4 or 5 points are OK for me, the software interpolates between them.
Here you have 7 user reviews, ignore user No 6, he probably is colorblind. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8142 On Fri, 2005-06-17 at 18:41, Alin Flaider wrote: > Joaquim, > > As one who tried this route I must say the software calibration is > close to useless.
