The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Color Calibration Process - How to do it right

Asked by krdzine1 in Adobe Photoshop

Tags: , ,

We're having a bit of a discussion in my office regarding color and calibrating monitors. We have an in-house photographer shooting images digitally and doing basic color corrections on an Apple 23 cinema display that has been calibrated using Greytag MacBeth's EyeOne color device. We then get the images on our stations to do editing and the full-on color correction before going to press. Each of our monitors (which vary from Sony LCDs, Mac 21 CRTs, a LaCie, etc) has also been calibrated using the EyeOne as well. We're in the process of calibrating our in-house printers using the same device. I'm confused by the whole process because I thought it would best be served as using the Working space profile of the Photographer's and keeping that as the standard on all machines instead of Adobe 1998 RGB. We make these calibration profiles but then don't use them in Photoshop as the working space... it seems ridiculous to NOT use the profile in PS.

The question is this: Now that we've calibrated the monitors do we use that as the RGB Working Space in Adobe Photoshop or do we continue to use the Adobe 1998 RGB preset supplied by Adobe? Since we use various printing presses, we have chosen to use U.S. Sheetfed Coated as our CMYK standard on all files. The extended question would be for someone to describe the step-by-step process for performing device calibration for color correction.
