Re: Vista 64 bit and PWP5
It works well with Vista 64-bit (but still runs as a 32-bit application and thus does not take advantage of the larger available address space potentially available).

Re: Profile mechanic scanner and 64 bit
While I have not actually tried it, I would be very surprised if there was a problem. In the unlikely event that one showed up we would fix it promptly.

Re: 64 bit computer
Unfortunately since our supply of calibrators dried up so we are no longer actively developing this product.

Re: Printing correct colors
As you mention, you should be using ICM. Problems with prints looking too dark usually stem from profiles being made with as assumption of prints being viewed in bright light - if you take you print outdoors you may find it looks a lot better. PWPs Monitor Curves (Version 5 only) was designed to hel...

Re: Adventures in Wide Space
The problem with using too small a gamut is saturation clipping, not brightness clipping.

Re: Adventures in Wide Space
This is exactly why I don't recommend using super-wide color spaces - most colors are compressed into a small area and there are not enough bits to avoid posterization which is exactly what you are seeing. Chrome 2000 was designed to just capture the entire gamut of slide film. Unfortunately I have ...

Re: Behaviour of the Colour Correction dialogue

Re: TFT monitor
While I don't have one, the Apple Cinema display is supposed to be very good and should work on a PC if you have a DVI connector. I bought a Dell 2009W a year or so ago and am not very happy with its off-axis viewing which is much worse than the Cinema display. Maybe the newer Dells are better.

Re: TIFF and LZH and ZIP compression
It can be proven mathematically that there is no compression scheme that will not enlarge some files. Both LZW and ZIP depend on finding repeating patterns within the image which may be few and far between for noisy images. They compress the most on very soft images or images with large blocks of so...

Re: 64 bit computer
I don't think so, but I haven't tried it. I seriously doubt if the drivers for the colorimeter will not install.
