The human eye is a tricky thing. That designer's eyes probably do think it is calibrated. Our eyes adjust to bad color and light to make it look correct, it's a weird phenomena but true.

One would think an interior designer would be more likely to have a "calibrated" monitor, but not necessarily. :) [cid:[email protected]][cid:[email protected]] From: Jonathan Link [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 2:09 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Color issues Just be aware that you may get everything set correctly, but people outside your control may have inaccurately calibrated monitors making this moot...

He's got some special software that allows him to take a carpet pattern and make a picture of what it should look like. We then post that picture on our website. One of the managers was complaining because the colors don't match up to the actual sample. I have tried to explain to him that it will vary quite a bit depending on the type of machine and monitor you're looking at the picture on. We showed the same picture on four different monitors hooked up to two different machines and got four different colors, a couple of them dramatically different from the other 2. Two of the monitors were Dell LCD desktop monitors, one was a Dell XPS laptop screen, the 4th was an IBM flat panel. It was the darkest and "greenest" even after resetting the monitor to the factory specs using the on-board reset. Now that I've explained the problem... any suggestions on how to get things so that they closely approximate the actual product? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
