Hi
I run Windows XP on a CTX monitor and the relevant software I have problems with are: Photoshop CS3; Canon DPP and Zoombrowser. I even occasionally use Google Picassa.
Having forked out for CS3, I was keen to use that for everything. I calibrated with a Huey Pro, but when using CS3, my own prints, and any done from online labs were coming out darker. So I started looking at the Canon supplied software, and it was certainly giving me darker images which were at least much nearer what my printed output was showing. However, despite the recent articles in the EOS magazine, DPP is not quite Photoshop.
What I can't get my head around is this: how can the problem be a monitor calibration problem when the exact same files are being displayed quite differently on different programmes? (If, for example, my monitor was set for too high blue, I would expect CS3, DPP, Zoombrowser etc ALL to show my files as 'too blue'.)
Anyone else ever come across a similar problem?
