ColorVision Spyder 2 questions... |
|
|
Hi Guys,
I've just invested in the 'Spyder 2' monitor profiling kit from
ColorVision. The procedure seems fairly straightforward, however, I have a
question to ask if I may.
* What luminance value should I be aiming for?
( I am setting the whitepoint using the RGB sliders. Once the whitepoint is
set, I can, of course, move all three sliders up or down and change the
luminance whilst keeping the chosen whitepoint).
These are the parameters used to make my profile:
LCD Monitor
6500K
2.2 Gamma
Luminance ended up at 122 cd/m^2.
Many thanks in anticipation... Rob

I have the older model Spyder and the software sez 85-95 is the target
luminance range. I usually get pretty close to 90. Surprised the
newer model doesn't give you an explicit number for a target or at
least a range.

Rob, here's a link that's a couple years old now but discusses
calibration with OptiCal and PhotoCal, with a screen dump at the top of
the page showing the suggested luminance values ... you can probably
find something similar for the Spyder 2 on Ian's site, if he's still
keeping it updated.
