Spyder makes the color space too small

Hello,
I just bought a NEC MultiSync LCD2690WUXi monitor which has a fairly large color space. Then I made a monitor profile for it using the spyder2pro. There is also an original icm profile for the monitor which I downloaded on the NEC website, and this one is distinctly larger than my spyder-made profile. I was looking forward to having a monitor which can display 95% of the Adobe RGB color space, but once I calibrate the monitor the profile doesn't even cover the sRGB space, it's simply too small.
I saw the difference on a website called iccview.de (unfortunately it's in German) where you can upload your profiles and compare them to standard profiles in form of 3D graphics.
Without calibrating the monitor at all I could see a lot of amazing colors, but it was also definitely too saturated and unbalanced, ecpecially in the reds. So does this mean you have the choice between a large color space but colors out of control on the one side - and well-balanced colors but smaller color space on the other? Is the spyder to blame?
I use Windows XP Home and a GeForce 6600 GT.
Thanks in advance for your time

The color matrix for that device probably doesn't expect to be looking at a wide gamut display and producing issues in measurements. Also, NEC doesn't recommend this instrument (yes I know, the software supports it).

  • I have a 22 inch monitor set at 150% but since I installed Firefox, the font is too small and the screen is too small. Cannot make font or screen larger. I can do Control++ each time I enter a page but don't want that to be my solution.

    In control panel/display, I had my display set at 150% and at 1680 X 1050 resolution. This filled my 22 inch screen with the page content. Now that I have installed Firefox, the font is too small and the content is centered in the screen leaving about3" per side of blank space. I want to fill the screen and make everything larger. Haven't found a way to do that. Firefox tells me in my control panel/display window that by setting my display at 150%, "some items may not fit in your screen if you choose this setting while your display is set to this resolution. It worked fine with Explorer.

    The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • My husband's only way to communicate is with ipad.  He now has double-vision.  The icons are too small.  Is Apple planning on accommodating us boomers and handicapped with a larger icons? Zooming doesn't help becuase of limited manual dexterity.  Thanks

    My husband's only way to communicate is with ipad.  He now has double-vision.  The icons are too small.  Is Apple planning on accommodating us boomers and handicapped with a larger icons? Zooming doesn't help because it's not a permanent setting and he can't change it too meet his needs because of limited manual dexterity.  I understand and appreciate the desire for consistency, couldn't they make a two or three size option setting. Small, Medium, Large and maybe Xlarge?

    Thanks.  Tried it.  The size of icons is great but now the part of the screen is missing.  For example, he likes going into his  music app, yes, it was easier for him to see and select, but once in the app he couldn't see the sides, so he couldn't select song without a double-tap to get it out of zoom.  I will see if I can arrange his pages so that all icons show.  This is a sort of work around.  Larger icons would be a better solution.  My husbands illness makes him akin to a person with ALS, so his ipad is his prized possession.

  • The green button, top left corner of a pop-up screen on MACbook, it's supposed to enlarge the pop-up to full MAC screen size, correct?  Mine does not.  Sometimes it makes the pop-up screen SMALLER.  Appreciate someone solving this for me.

    Are you talking about the green '+' button in the top left corner? That technically doesn't enlarge it. It switches the window from the default window size to the custom size you made. You can enlarge the window by moving your mouse to the bottom right corner of the window, and dragging until you get the size you want.

  • How to find the Color Space name for a PDEElement

    Hi
    I am trying to find out the color space for each PDEElement in my PDF file. While doing this,
    I put some debug statements ( cout stmts ) that print the color_space as integer values. I gave this list
    after the code.  I belive the color spaces should be something like CMYK, DeviceRGB,DeviceGray..etc.
    How can I know the actual color space name coresponding to these numbers printed in Debug statements.

    As you may have noticed, the "numbers" you see are actually of type ASAtom -
    which is a type declared in the SDK to represent reused strings. You have to
    read the relevant documentation to learn how to use the SDK - there is no
    way around it. The Acrobat SDK is very powerful, but also a lot more
    complicated than most people expect when they start to work with it. Take
    your time to learn how to use it.
    In this particular case, you need to call this function to convert the
    ASAtom to a string:

    The print is too small on various web sites that I open. This has never happened on older Firefox versions. How can I correct this so every page I open, the print size is consistent and legible? I don't want to change it every time I open a new site.

    Hi Donna,
    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    Font Size and the scale (size) at which a document is printed is controlled within the application just before the job is sent to the printer -  this means the size is set from your browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer) or perhaps your Editor (Word).  Generally speaking, most applications use Print Preview -- or a variation of that program under a different name.
    An explanation and the use of Print Preview is avialble in the following document:

    The only way to increase the fonts on your desktop would be system wide by going down a notch on the resolution.

    ... open them programmatically in PhotoShop, read out resolution and color space ...
    On opening them in Photoshop, it asks you "what resolution shall I use, and what color space shall I apply?"
    A single EPS may contain any number of embedded bitmaps, with any horizontal and vertical resolution, and in any color space. You can use only a few of these with Illustrator -- and even only one at a time with Photoshop --, but other programs allow just about every possible combination.
    Not to mention procedurally generated bitmaps, also possible with PostScript.
