Who knows, maybe they'll be faster than The Company That Must Not Be Mentioned (Only Cursed Until The End Of Time).

Went to the AS support person. Sensible man, although I wish he would get to the point faster. I'm impatient.

:D

He probably thought he was doing you a favor by being extremely specific and "direct."

Maybe. :-\

A lot of the time I knew what he was getting at and wished he could have skipped the preliminaries.

On a different note, a friend gave me a name to contact at an IT consultancy that is actively looking for people in my field.  :woohoo:

Good luck!   :thumbup:

Had a guy from Rising Sun Research come in to work today to do a presentation on color calibration techniques.

I didn't know that an LCD monitor took 90 minutes from being turned on for its output to level out to the point where you could safely do film color work....

Or that turning it off and turning it on again would make the white point stabilize in a slightly different place, so it would need a new LUT.... (that's why they tell us not to turn our monitors off!)

He also showed us some amazing optical illusions.

One of them:

The two marked squares are the same RGB color.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Which two squares?  The dark one and the light one that is in the shadow?  The dark ones all look the same color to me, except that there is an apparent shadow cast by the green cylinder.
