I create imagery for a large tech firm. I work with creative directors on LARGE Photoshop comps for on-screen use (video/web), and print (mostly packaging). I have a crappy display and they have no intention of replacing it anytime soon. My CDs have high-end color-accurate displays. All the displays have been calibrated using a colormunki. According to the software, they are all dialed in.
The imagery looks very different on different displays (mostly gamma if my eye serves me correctly). The color isn't off by much, but the brightness and blacks are very different. As a result, I end upworking in Photoshop with one eye on the histogram and always measuring my color/brightness values in the info palette. It's not perfect, but it helps.
I realize that most people's displays are set up differently in the wild, so color accuracy is less of an issue for web and video. For print, we need to be more closely dialed in. Things need to be more accurate.
What are the accepted processes in this situation? How are all of you folks handling issues like this out there? What are your solutions?
Thanks
