It it possible?

[Patrick]

I have just set up my system with a second monitor, I use a 22" Dell and the second a 15" Acer which is set to hold my tools pallet when in Photoshop.

When I use Lightroom the 15" screen holds a full screen version of the image I am working on, I then use the before and after feature in Lightroom on the 22" all very useful.

Now my Dell screen is profiled the Acer is not, consequently the images look different on the two screens. Is it possible to profile the 15" screen without upsetting the 22".
I cannot see a way, hopefully one of you know better.

Oh! by the way I have tried manually adjusting the 15" screen but its not very satisfactory. Another point is I am running from the one graphics card using its two outputs.

I'm pretty sure you both screens will obey their own profiles, if present. That said, I haven't tried it.

I will look into it....

Hi Ian

Got it sorted, as with most computer problems the answer is so simple I feel embarrassed I asked the question.

The Spyder software gives the option of which monitor to profile, I just hadn't looked.
Both monitors now re-profiled and both look the same.

Yes! I use XRite/GretagMacbeth Eye One Match with a Eye One Pro spectrophotometer and I think it's the same option there as the Spyder software.
