I wonder if i changed something when i fired up my free copy of Capture One. It said Capture One is set up to run on system monitor not something else, that i forget.,
Wonder if that changed something. I had this problem about this time last year. I seemed to have done something that the premium glossy papaer liked, and was getting decent results ,now its doing it again. I'll run the spyder one again., maybe Capture One has set up a computer monitor settting and not my calibrated one. I'll see if i can find some enhanced matte,, if i can find some.
