Should we now be calibrating EVERYTHING to D50? We have also been having some issues recently regarding monitor / proof matching. Some older monitors just don't seem to want to calibrate correctly, even after several attempts..with BASIC and EYE ONE MATCH 2.0. Basic ICC guru was explaining that the magenta / green shift in CRT tubes can cause this problem. Should we then just ditch a 3 yr old LaCie 22" CRT?
Hope someone can shed some light on the above (preferably D50 light)
Dear Graeme
I would stick with 6500 as it is more likely this will give you a better match to your 5k lighting booth. Always unsettling when someone like Hanspeter (perhaps) lobs a grenade into the camp! I wonder that he did not also suggest using a gamma of 1.8 <BG> Shame about the monitor but a nice excuse to get a new one....3yrs is end of life time anyhow for critical usage as I am sure you know.
Good luck with the new rip.
Cheers
