Subject: Re: Printing Raw Problems
Some monitors can be calibrated quite accurately with the Mac display software. I don't know what kind of monitor Tim is using, but the Apple Cinema Display, for example, can be dialed in very nicely with the system software. If your printer output is accurate and your monitor matches your printer output, that's all that's really necessary for most purposes. To make sure the results match the real world, a color chart can be shot. The monitor image can be compared to the chart, as can the printed image. I shoot classic cars for magazines, and the editors are very fussy about getting the color correct. My software calibrated monitor gets the job done.
I know my monitor is better calibrated since I started using a Spyder, but even Adobe Gamma can bring a monitor into a very usable colour balance.
