Thanks for the pointer. It's interesting but it's just a pity that his monitor/cal tool appraisals appear to be very heavily biased towards highlight detail so much so that they seem incongruous with his written appraisal of each management system. It's a good review none the less and his open letter to the cal tool manufacturers certainly makes sense. Interestingly too he has produced an "Interactive Color Gamut Comparisons" tool like the one I have often referred to. http://www.drycreekphoto.com/tools/printer_gamuts/gamutmodel.html http://www.iccview.de/index_eng.htm I'm pretty happy with my Spyder2Pro system however like he says it's very slow (but accurate) and it does address quite a few of the issues that he has presented in his open letter. I wasn't aware that my highlights were lacking detail but I figure if I don't clip them I'm pretty safe, I'm happier being able to accurately peer into my shadows and have a very well corrected gray scale working space (across two dissimilar monitors).
