I got off on the monitor profiling tangent a bit this morning, and
as far as I can tell, nobody gives a crap about linux-land monitor
colorimetry. Argyll allegedly supports two devices, but they're both old
and expensive. Ran across this idea:
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Proposal_for_Monitor_Profiling
Basically, it assumes that one can generate an accurate color
profile for a digital camera, and then turn around and use it as a
colorimeter to profile your monitor.
Does this seem like a reasonable thing to do? I'm sure it's not
as accurate as a puck-like object stuck directly on the screen, but with
minimal ambient light it may be reasonable. The gamut of DSLRs in
particular is comparable to CRT's, no?
Intriguing...
