Hi, Eddy here I've just joined the list and have need of some help.
I am a fashion and underwater photographer, using RZ, 35mm, and a D1X. I use a high-ish spec G4 powerbook and a 1290 for printing, running PS 7 in OS9.2. I use Fotostation and Nikon View 5 for selection making. My problem: Working with a D1X for six months, (with the firmware upgrade), I've found nothing but issues and stress, and colour management nightmares, which have created a whole lot of time wasting. My work is suffering becuase I have all digital contracts coming in and my screen calibration attempts have been strange failures, using a friends Greitag w/Eyeone software, hence I cannot start the printer profile fiasco without the screen calibration first. I have been getting through by guesswork, but I don't like it, and it' very wasteful on materials. - When I calibrate using the GreitagMacbeth calibrator, the result is generally good until step 3 or so, when a large translucent square appears attached to the cursor from it's top left corner. The square is I assume a software clash or bug.. I have tried many remedies, extensions, re-installs, throwing other software away etc.. nothing seems to work. Anyone had this happen to them before? Also - is there a method of actually calibrating the D1X to one's own system? (besides the in-camera settings) Here's hoping..
