Cinema Display question

[Abaddon]

I'm using a 30" Cinema Display and a standard PC monitor for dual screen editing.

The image on the Cinema Display is more orange than on the regular monitor. It's also more orange than the image in the HVX viewfinder while viewing.

The Cinema Display seems to be perfectly calibrated and everything else seems fine as far as what I view on the screen. I only have this issue with images I shot on the HVX and photos I work on in Photoshop.

It's hard to tell which image is more accurate.

Any ideas as to what's wrong?

YOu need to calibrate the monitor...it is obviously way off.

You can try with the built in Apple Monitor setup tool (system preferences) or use this:

Is there a way you can use the Apple Monitor setup tool along with color bars?

Anyone? Basically I want to calibrate my 17" Apple Cinema Display for video work.

To get anywhere near decent I think you'll need to invest in either Pantone Huey or ColorVision Spyder2PRO. I believe Shane has one and has been quite happy with the results (I forget which one though, he's mentioned it a few times around here though). Good luck.

cheers.

There are many ways to calibrate a monitor if you want to spend the time to do it right. For example:

Anyone know if I use the Display Calibrator Assistant in System Preferences for Apple Studio Display, if that's good enough for calibration? Reason I ask is because it doesn't do it for video or color bars.
Is there a Apple Studio Display specific calibrator for video?
