How did that "a" get in there?!


I was wondering why the latest Lacie BlueEye Pro had omitted out the CL Calibration Loader from the installed program because I used to use it when Windows dropped the GFX card's LUT so I did some searching and found out Windows 7 has a built in LUT loader which pulls the data from the already created icc profile and loads it into the GFX card's lookup table which means no more need for a LUT loader.

By default this feature is disabled, reserved for the built in "visual" calibration feature so if you hardware calibrate the tickbox to load calibration is unticked as you've not used the software calibration built into Win7 yet (and shouldn't...).

Here's the blog that I used to get around this and enable the checkbox: http://www.pusztaiphoto.com/articles/colormgmt/win7/default.aspx

It's quite "obvious solution is obvious" once you realise it though :p
