Well shoot, a friends Lacie seems to be much better than mine in this
regard, so I've been dealing with Lacie to try and resolve the issue,
which hasn't been pleasant so far.
More questions-
I've been mulling over getting the Spectrocam (I've mulled a bit too
long, I'll pay more now) for use with Profiler Pro. Do you know anything
about it's monitor calibration ability? Can I take advantage of the RGB
gun control with whatever software may come with it? Apparently with
OptiCal and also with whatever comes with Lacie's own Blue Eye this is
possible and preferable, but there's very little info on Spectrostar's
website. I have ProveIt, but I don't think the Spectrocam is supported,
or if so, if I can take advantage of the gun control with it, it seems
to just build profiles like an advanced version of Adobe Gamma.
I'm looking forward to Profiler Pro and the Spectrocam seems like a more
affordable tool for someone who doesn't need to build profiles everyday.
Particularly if it's monitor calibration ability is up to par as well.
Thanks for your input.
