I felt this tiny guy on my neck. Reflex swatted him to the ground. 10 of them would have fit on a dime! Got really close with my Macro.
Also...trying to calibrate my monitor. Please comment on "dark", "light" etc...
Thanks in advance,

Thought you were having trouble calibrating with your Spyder2 or something.

Oh...I forgot about that Spyder hardware! I don't have the hardware. I was just trying the Adobe Gamma thing...

How does the bar look to you?

Hello,
I just re-posted with a better title...
The bar all blends to black about 4-5 from the end. Also, the last two white squares look as "one"
However, my screen and printer are very close.

Please don't start new threads about the same thing as existing ones. Below is the crosspost from the duplicate.

For all it's worth, you need to have more than one option for your gamma settings. In most cases a home printer is going to print darker than either an LCD or CRT screen. So, if you ar working on submissions, use a color profile for a monitor. |

A better idea than using Adobe Gamma would be to calibrate your monitor to the posted swatch. Then, using Adobe's Color Settings (in Photoshop) adjust a custom color setting for your printer. It's possible you may be able to find an ICC profile already created for your printer and load it into your Color Settings.
