I do alot of digital photography (www.imagesoflife.co.uk) which is mainly monchrome output. I have both my desktop and Vaio 995MP calibrated using Gretag Eye-One software. However, as I have found out recently it seems the screen on the Vaio is too light. This has come to light (no pun intended) where I have output to a couple of calibrated Fuji Frontier printers and also seen images which I have created on the Vaio but viewed on the desktop are too dark by approximately 1 to 1.5 stops or 30-40 points on a midpoint curve in PS.
I took the laptop back to the guys who calibrated the monitor and asked them rerun the calibration and it came up the same - too light.
The profiles are loaded properly and can be seen using Control Panel-Display-Colour Management. I am running XP Pro if that helps.
As a get around I can run an action through PS that bumps up my images by 35 points to give me the tonal range I want but that is only a short term measure.
Any ideas?
Gareth
