[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1198027, member: 59143"] I've heard that iMacs are a bit difficult to calibrate because the monitor is ultra bright. How did you get on with it, fairly well or no ? Were you able to turn the luminance down enough? Btw, if you want free evaluation prints, check out bayphoto.com They give you 5 free prints. So you can test your high and low key shots, saturation of colors and B&W, which is nice. I know that they use an X-Rite Eye One Display 2 calibrator, and they recommend 6500K (and of course 2.2 gamma-unless everything you do is Pro Photo space) though I've always thought that the industry standard for print was 5000k. I set my target for 6500k and 90 luminance, to be on the safe side. Actually, I have profiles for 5000k and 6500k with 80, 90 and 100 lum respectively. Doug [/QUOTE]
