You do not need the i1 Studio software since you are using SpectraView. The i1Pro 3 is the current product so if you are going with a i1Pro that is it. I use the i1 studio software to calibrate my printers but the Spectraview software is superior for calibrating NEC monitors. I used the Eye-one display 2 with Spectraview for years but I should have been using the i1Pro which works better.

I have been seeing ads that state DDR5 is 50% fast... (show quote)


DDR5 is theoretically faster. However, Toms Hardware has done testing and for most things they have not found a difference from fast DDR4 which is a lot cheaper. Only the latest Intel Adler Lake processors do DDR5. BTW 8G of memory is not adequate. More memory will be more important than DDR5.

I have been on Windows 11 for a few months. I did it for the support of the new Intel Adler Lake CPUs. At first the display calibration was bad but as far as I can tell it works correctly now. I am not happy with all the work I had to do to isolate problems but I am in a good place now. If you need new hardware I would not be afraid to go there.

Have a request in with Topaz help but wanted to ask UHH if anyone else is having this problem. In the middle of a project, I started getting trial versions of sharpen and denoise AI programs. Fine, just have to log back in happened before. That didn't work so I tried to reset my password. This did not work, still couldn't log back in. Tried several times in case I mistyped ...to no avail. Thanks for any comments you may have!

Yes well if you are looking at a bright monitor then you will tend to adjust the image darker to get what looks like a correct exposure. FYI the Xrite software that calibrates my monitor uses 100 Lumen as the baseline brightness.

The color spaces of the monitor and the printer are different, so there is a bit more to getting the print to come out correctly than luminance. Others here have more experience making prints than me, they can advise the best methods for that.


That makes sense. I was just wondering if there was more to it. Yes there are a lot of mapping that has to happen and I am aware of a lot of it.

Your computer came with a generic display profile. If you use an external display, it did as well. At the very least, enable them.

HOWEVER, it does not end there!

For photography, TURN OFF Night Shift. TURN OFF Automatically adjust brightness. TURN OFF True Tone. All of these will fool you when adjusting color images.

Ideally, you would use a color calibration and profiling kit to make a custom ICC profile for YOUR specific monitor(s). These are made by Datacolor and X-Rite. In choosing settings for evaluating photographic images for printing, you would use custom aim points similar to these:

Gamma 2.2
Initial color temperature 5800K to 6500K depending on calibrator recommendations
White Point 105 candelas per square meter (cd/m^2)
Black Point 0.5 cd/m^2

If your prints from adjusted images come out too dark, REDUCE the monitor brightness (white point). If your prints are too light, INCREASE the monitor brightness. While you'll never perfectly match a monitor to a printer or lab, you can get very close.

Ideally, you would choose a neutral gray for each of your monitors as the operating system's desktop color (not a photo!) This helps "center" your vision's color response. Similarly, you would work in a gray room with gray tables, sit in a gray chair, and wear a gray smock or apron while adjusting color.

We did all these things in the color correction department of the photo lab where I ran Color Corrections (and other digital imaging departments) back in the early 2000s. We rarely had to reprint, since our printers were custom profiled, and our monitors were custom profiled and matched to each other.

I have seen the statement that too bright a monitor will result in too dark a print at least 1000 times. I see you recommend 105cd/m2. I am currently using 100. So if you can explain the display brightness effect that causes the print to be too dark or too light. I would expect the brightness/luminance curve of the display will map to the brightness/luminance curve of the paper if calibrated correctly.

I upgraded my portable to win11. It is not my main editing machine. I found that I could use Lightroom and Photoshop. However I did find as mentioned above that color management is not finished. I had problems locating the place to make sure display was running in 10bit and not 8bit. I think I was able to finally get it changed in the NVidia app but there were problems navigating and getting the displays correct. This is a big deal breaker. But I would expect they will fix or have fixed this. I am in the process of building a new desktop and am hoping that it is fixed by the time I get everything running. If not, I still have my old desktop.

Most internet printers use sRGB 8bit. However if you print at home with a modern printer such as the Canon 1000 you can print using Adobe RGB and 16 bit. The printer capabilities match Adobe RGB much better than sRGB.

As I see it, the blacks and shadows are pushed way too high. I put this into Lightroom and it looks much bettter when the blacks and shadows are lowered. That is why it looks flat. However it will have to be done locally for best effect as the left side of picture is much darker than the rest. Highlights and whites are also too high.

I upgraded my laptop Sunday. It took a while but there were no problems. Adobe Photoshop and LRC work. I haven't found anything that does not work. The laptop has an Intel CPU. I have barely scratched the surface but so far I like it. It may be faster than with Windows 10. I wanted to start getting familiar with Windows 11 because I am going to build a new desktop in a few months.

I am potentially interested, but a new gaming computer bought this summer fails the test. Store told me yesterday they had sold out of that model and no one else had even asked the question. May or may not he fixable with a change in BIOS settings.
As I have read, 11 is strictly 64 bit, so if you have 32 bit software or a 32 bit version installed, it won't work. If this is not correct, please correct me. If true that would be my real worry, as while I always choose 64 bit, I don't know what I might have that isn't. Certainly on this site people often mention old stuff they like and use.

Problem with not upgrading is at present Microsoft plans to stop supporting 10, no security updates, in just few yrs as store confirmed.

This update stuff is getting ridiculous, last night I looked into getting Paramount+. Found it only works on smart TVs and for many brands only those made in maybe last 5 yrs. I have no intention of relacing every tv, monitor, computer, phone etc. every 5 yrs or even sooner because firms decide it's a great way to make money.

Paramount works on Fire TV. Any TV will work this way
