I'm afraid the "laptop LCD" part might be a clue. Few laptop displays can deliver the gamut needed. The calibration software tries to preserve the brightness ratios between different levels. If it cannot by a large margin it will fail in all kinds of ways. That's why I moved to an external display for photo processing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
