Well, I'm new here, but you guys have already been more than helpful. Now I finally have a question of my own. How would I go about using SuperCal on my secondary monitor? It is a CRT, and hooked up through the output on my PowerBook. Whenever I run SuperCal, all the screen changes occur on my PB screen, regardless of where the window is.

Same thing happens with my secondary display LCD.

I figure the only way to calibrate it would be to mirror the displays (you can hit F7 to do this), then run Supercal but look at your secondary display and save your calibration profile to a new profile. Then turn off mirroring and apply your new calibration only to your secondary display. I haven't tried this yet but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

That's a very good point. Can;t believe I didn't think of this. I'm going to give it a shot now.

Check that.

I was wrong, mirroring won't work with Supercal. The way you have to do it is move the menu bar from your Powerbook to your CRT (do this in the System Preferences/Display/Arrangement tab). This sets your CRT as your primary display. Then run Supercal and it will calibrate your CRT.
