I posted the following earlier under an old thread but got no responses - thought I would try with a new topic.
Can anyone provide some more guidance on the difference in the colorvision products. From the website and a forum search I can see the differences and have formed the following conclusions/questions:
1. Colorplus has preset gamma (I assume 2.2) and Photocal has 2 options (I assume 1.8 and 2.2). Here I think Colorplus would be fine since I am using a windows computer and CRT monitor.
2. Colorvision has a preset white balance (I assume 6500) and Photocal has 2 options (I assume 6500 and ??). Here, again, I think Colorplus would be fine since I usually set the monitor to 6500 anyway.
3. Colorvision does not have the Precal function and Photocal does. Here is where ?I think Photocal has a distinct advantage based on Colorvision's description of this function. However, I am not sure how much of this function is real benefit and how much is marketing hype - any experience on what this actually does and how much difference it makes? Is there a similar free software utility that can perform the same function?
Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks.
