Re: [Avid-L2] Monitor calibration

 

I was a Harry artist as an example of an early heads up GUI it's wonderful but that level of illumination would never fly today.

First of all, damn iPad and it's smart word completion.  That's "anyone" not "anything".

Yeah, programmers and UI designers for some products are not necessarily aware of proper color evaluation environments and so you end-up with UI choices that might not work very well when the computer monitor is setup correctly (in the context of a color grading suite).

In the old days a lot of systems had UI's that ran on broadcast monitors.  The Quantel Harry compositing system was one such case.  That's evidence enough that it can be done and done very well.  It's a matter of creating awareness and having UI's that are designed in the proper context.  To me this would be a selling point.  It's about ensuring quality and consistency.
