It loads color profiles at start up, one for each monitor, and I can SEE the color shift when it loads. It's very obvious to me, because if I turn it off, one monitor is noticibly more orange than the other one, especially with my predominately grey background. But once the profiles load, the monitors look identical.
It would suggest that it's working correctly to me. | This seems a clearer explaination of what the potential issue is.
Sounds like it should look like it worked at the start, but become uncalibrated later. Should be easy to check I suppose.
WCS has the makings of a very capable color management system. It seems to be able to fit into traditional ICC-based workflows and then quickly flip into WCS mode for some of its newer features and capabilities. The architecture certainly has a future. It's the present I am concerned with primarily.
Due to Vista's non-handling and mishandling of graphics card calibration curves it is next to impossible for a professional user to be confident that their system is properly calibrated and displaying color correctly. For this reason I do not recommend Vista for professional workflows at this time. When Microsoft addresses the calibration-clobbering bug in a future service pack then I think Vista will make an effective platform for high quality color production." | | |  | | Sponsored Links |

Ok, now I see why it doesn't affect me.... Quote: |
Every time the OS asks for authorization (like admin rights to install a program) the new interface dims, and the LUT from the calibration of your monitor is lost, and evidently DOESN'T get re-loaded. Talk about a killer bug for graphics apps!
| That happens as part of the UAC, and since I have UAC turned off, my system never goes through that dimming/relit process, thus I'm calibrated from startup to shutdown. | | | | |

So as long as you never put it in a low power mode you should be fine. I think I'll just wait until SP1 and these various issues are addressed, rather than working through all the special cases and workarounds to get things to be reliable.
Why did you turn off one of the main security advances with the new OS ?

I'm much more pragmatic about these things now...

I can't figure out why people who don't upgrade are so adament that no one else does. | | | | |

I don't call it luck. I've never once had a virus on any PC I've ever owned, and guess what....??? I've never had UAC either...  | | | | |
