Hi,
I just bought a color calibrator, Spyder2Express, and have a few questions to ask, for those of you who are familiar with Spyder2Express.
1) After calibrating the monitor (LCD), the 'before' and 'after' sample images as shown on by the Spyder program appear to be the same! I do not notice any difference. Anyone has similar experience?
2) The Spyder2 User Manual days this: "Profiling allows you to create an ICC profile that describes the monitor characteristics including: White Point, Tone Response and RGB Primary colors. This profile is then used by ICC-aware applications such as Adobe® Photoshop® so they can display colors as they are intended."
My other question is, what about other ICC-unaware applications (e.g. Paintbrush/ Internet Explorer)? I suppose they do not benefit from calibration?
Thanks.
