Digital Light & Color

Dieter, I checked the Monitor Profile in my colour settings. I had, naively, assumed that the monitor profile obtained from calibrating the monitor with Spectraview etc should be chosen from the drop down menu, but after reading the explanation in PWP Help, it appears not. To quote "The monitor...

Dieter, I am sort of glad that you see something different than I do as it suggests that I may have something screwed up at my end rather than a problem inherent to PWP. However, I am not aware of a monitor curve specific to PWP. I have an NEC monitor that is set up with Spectraview and a colour met...

Dieter, I find it interesting that PWP remains consistent between the 8 bit and 24 bit versions while PS shows a difference between the two. As to posting a smaller version of the mask - I am quite agreeable to having you take a look however I am concerned that you will have difficulty seeing the di...

Thanks, I will check my PS settings as suggested. However, as indicated in my initial post, it is PWP that seems to be less precise (for lack of a better word) as when two colour images are composted together (blend mode) using the mask, I can see some ghosting in the resultant colour image, specifi...

Jonathan, I just converted an 8 bit mask to 48 bit colour and compared both versions in Photoshop and PWP with the following results: 8 bit - Markedly more visible in PS than in PWP. 48 bit - More visible in PS than in PWP, but far less than the 8 bit. 8 bit compared to 48 bit - In PS, the 8 bit ima...

Dieter, Thanks for looking into this further. Interesting point about Adobe Gamma and its potential conflict with a profiled monitor using a colour meter. I have been using a colour meter on my NEC monitor for quite awhile (and on the monitor I had prior to this) and don't recall reading any mention...

Hello Dieter, Thanks for your two responses. Regarding your first message - I don't think this is related to any unusual settings in Photoshop, as when just viewing the mask, Photoshop actually shows the light tone on the black background, which I suspect is as a result of the remnants of the outer ...

Hello, I have often used a larger size radius Paint tool (Transparency and Softness often left at default 50.0) set to black to do multiple changes to the content of a mask (to quickly erase some parts of the white portions of the mask). Occasionally, I have noticed some faint "bleed through&qu...

Hello, Having used NX2 as my RAW editor for awhile, I am just beginning to explore PWP's RAW editor, and have a couple of questions. - Using the Exposure Control in the Grey tab, even when activating the "show clipped pixels" option, if I move the slider well to the right to where the imag...

Perfect, thanks. I will give those suggestions a try.
