Re: calibrating monitor



Jusdado,

That is odd that the CMYK values would shift after calibrating your monitor.  Calibrating your monitor doesn't change the values of the step tablet.  The RGB values remained correct though.  I only use the RGB values, not CMYK.  I think you will be fine.

Hello to all: 
Before calibrate my monitor with "Eye-One Display 2", the values RGB and 
CMYK measured in Photoshop for the Step Tablet 101 PDN were: 
White Pure: RGB=255; C=0%, M=0%, Y=0%, K=0% 
Black Pure: RGB = 0; C=100%, M=100%, Y=100%, K=100%. 
After calibrate the monitor with "Eye-One Display 2", the values RGB and 
CMYK measured in Photoshop for Step Tablet 101 PDN are: 
White Pure: RGB=255; C=0%, M=0%, Y=0%, K=0%. 
Black Pure: RGB = 0; C=95%, M=83%, Y=82%, K=90% 
Questions: 
1. - that has happened? 
2. - can I consider black pure the current values?. 
3. - will I have to adjust another time my curves?. 
Thank you and pardon for my English, text translates for computer.
