My monitor (iMac 20", last Matte generation) is calibrated using the Huey, and it works great except for this one problem, in which Raw files are displayed with some sort of black clipping when viewed at 100% or screen size. However, the correct blacks can be seen in the Loupe, here are two examples:
I have been plagued by this in every version of Aperture since 1.5.x to the newest, 2.0.1. The problem has been narrowed down to the Huey profile, and how it is read by Aperture, because every other profile (default iMac, manually calibrated iMac, etc) has proper consistency between the all levels of zoom and the loupe.
It doesn't look too bad in these images, but it also leads to harsh gradients and extra noise, which are a hassle to deal with. The images show the proper blacks when exported as a Tiff or other jpeg. And it is not the Raw file format, it does the same thing with every Raw format I've thrown at it.
Any suggestions? The colours are spot on with the Huey and I love Aperture, but this issue has been driving me nuts.
