I'm planning to run a bunch of prints soon, so I thought I'd do the color calibration game first, to make sure that the prints come out the same way they went in.

I bought myself a Gretag MacBeth Eye-One Display, a $250 gizmo that's supposed to measure my screen and produce an ICC profile. I ran everything, plugged the profile into Windows XP, and as far as I can tell with Photoshop 6.0, absolutely nothing whatsoever has changed. I've looked at pictures (in the sRGB profile) before and afterward, using Adobe Photoshop 6.0 which is supposed to know what it's doing. Honestly, I don't see any difference at all.

Anybody else tried this? I just ordered some books on the topic from Amazon in case I might be missing something, but I suspect that my spiffy LCD monitor might have been designed well enough that not much actually needed to be changed.
