It depends on how critical/neurotic you are. LCD monitors are pretty stable and if you're not sending files out for extremely critical fine art printing I'd say once a month is fine. >+ If I want to use ProphotoRGB as my color space, I heard that this is >a gamma 1.8 color space (as opposed to AdobeRGB and sRGB that are >gamma 2.2). Does this mean that to use ProPhotoRGB I should calibrate >for gamma 1.8 instead of 2.2? Nope. If you're using color managed software like Photoshop the ICC profile for ProPhoto RGB will take care of the rendering. Calibrate and profile your monitor for 2.2 gamma and 6500K white point. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
