Calibration using fixed black and white luminance points fixes the contrast ratio, if you are aiming to emulate the sRGB as your monitor device space then the value you should be setting for white luminance is about 80 cd/m2. At that luminance the better CRTs will be able to manage around 0.2 cd/m2 and most TFT will manage around 0.4 cd/m2 or 0.2 cd/m2 for the better high contrast models. A luminance range of 0.2 to 80 cd/m2 is 1:400. It a pity stuff all people seem to appreciate these fundamentals. http://www.w3.org/Graphics/Color/sRGB -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
