Desaturated Colors

[Tobias]

I haven't followed the thread from the beginning, so I *may* be OT:

Inconsistencies between the monitors I use (and to some extent) printers
that ColorSync seems not capable to handle (or my lack of understanding how
to set it up properly?) drove me crazy. I found a monitor calibration
software called SuperCal. I have v1.1b2, which runs under Classic.

My own as well as other people complaints about shifted colours, wrong
saturation etc. in digital photos have come to a complete halt since I use
SuperCal to adjust every new computer I get (and then perhaps once a year or
so).
