Color Management Issues

[Jammer1]

I've been using Colorvision Colorplus calibration soft/hardware on my pc monitor which has Matrox g50 Graphics card, at 1st when I used it there was no difference but found out the colorvision didnt work with dual screen setup I tried it with just 1 screen and was dissapointed with the look, the colors seem less vibrant, and the contrast is less, I'm thinking maybe this is the way real color looks.

I'm beginning to wonder if the Matrox card calibrates itself because the screen colors are so rich without the calibration.

Issue #2
I shot these on monday, raw into Capture one After grey carding I was suprised to see the skin tone so red, the 2nd picture is what I feel the skin tone should look like although theres a hint of blue

What does your screen reckon???

Oh great now that I've loaded it up, the 1st picture seems okay in my browser but too red in Capture 1 and Pshop and acdsee. The pics were Adobe RGB colorspace, did they get converted in the upload???

This 3rd picture is an unaltered grey card for any of you that may want to test.

PM a mod to have the thread moved, don't just start a new one.

That last pic looks good on my calibrated monitor. You can't calibrate without an external device like a Spyder or Monaco.
