monitor calibration

http://www.pbase.com/r​osco1971/image/5607420​6I calibrated my monitor ,the colour seems good,but when i convert to blk/wht i get this wierd look to my photo.....it seems like i can see the transitions in greys....i have posted a photo...does it show on your monitors?

I thought it was a good thing to calibrate..........is this what it is supposed to happen and will it print that way also?
i have other photos that i did before the calibration that look fine....

LCD or CRT monitor?

LCD

It looks fine on my monitor (CRT). Some LCD monitors are not as good as CRTs in color rendering. I would recommend that you check your monitor profile with the program ColorThink and compare it against some other monitors.

Once I was profiling an LCD monitor on a DELL PC and the result was awful. Only when I tried Monaco Optix, the software told me that the profiling was useless because the graphic card on that PC did not use Lookup Tables (the Gretag software did not tell me that so I went on thinking that somewhere else there was an error). So there was no way for the software to alter the way the monitor was showing the colors.

A good thing to do is to download a file named "RangerRainbow" that shows the full spectrum of colors and then use it on your monitor and look for some missing parts, artifacts or "jumps". I did not post the image here because the 800 pix limit.
