PowerPC G5 iMac and Huey
Does anybody else have a PowerPC-based G5 iMac that they have calibrated with a Huey? What results do you get? I get peculiar discolored posterized shadows; Pantone has no idea why. The Huey works wonderfully on our MacBook. Rick http://www.photo.net/photos/RickW The fish are biting. Get more visitors on your site using Yahoo!

Re: PowerPC G5 iMac and Huey
I have no experience with that particular setup, but I and others have seen various issues with the Pantone Huey and different system configurations. Because of those issues, and similar issues with the Spyder2 product, I generally recommend the Eye One Display 2 instead.

Poor or inconsistent profiles on various different monitors. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

OK, not that I can appreciate this given that I've profiled at least ten very different monitors using my Spyder2 always with excellent measurements and apparent visual consistency.

The same is true for all the different colorimeters. In 2004, when I went to buy a colorimeter, I asked my engineering colleagues at Apple who are much more knowledgeable than I about such things. Apple's engineering folks working on monitors and ColorSync recommended the Gretag Macbeth Eye One Display unit. They found that the ColorVision Spyder and its software was the most inconsistent of all the units that they had tested, and they had standardized on the Eye One Display unit for their own testing purposes. They test and calibrate displays several hundred times a month. Since that time, when I browse around photo forums and talk to people who have monitor calibration units, the Spyder2 and the Pantone Huey are the two that are most often mentioned, by a factor of several multiples, as having some problem or another with profiling a particular monitor or in a particular system configuration. I have never heard a single person complain that an Eye One Display calibration unit did not do the job properly, although I'm sure that someone out there had a problem with one of those too. Unscientific, for sure. But I stand by my recommendation. At least three dozen people whom I've assisted, either professionally or personally, have been very happy with the Eye One Display. That's at least another 36 monitors as a sample set ... good enough for me. :-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: PowerPC G5 iMac and Huey
I was about to ask the same question. I've had great success with it. After calibrating with the Spyder 2 my screen images are identical to my printer output.
