Proofing bug with multiple monitors (InDesign & Acrobat on Mac)

#1 08-22-2008, 10:07 AM

Software:
InDesign CS3 5.0.3 and Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 (Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4)

Both application does not compensate the onscreen colors when moving document windows to another screen.

I have three monitors: Eizo ColorEdge CG220, 30-inch Apple Cinema Display and 17-inch Apple Studio Display.

The 30-inch Apple Cinema Display is my default monitor (with the menubar). But the Eizo ColorEdge is my color-proofing screen. To get correct onscreen colors on the ColorEdge I have to set it as the default monitor in System Settings. That's a hassle. I hope this bug will be fixed.

Photoshop handles this perfectly.

How can Photoshop handle the connection
of three different monitors, each one color
managed, to one graphics card, perfectly ?

Asbjørn,

Does each monitor have its own separate graphics card, or are they all running off the same card?

AlFerrari,

My Mac Pro has two graphics card. The 30-inch uses the first one, and the Eizo and 17-inch shares the second card. The graphic cards are identical.

Gernot,
Photoshop refreshes the colors when releasing the mouse button after dragging a window from another screen. Acrobat and InDesign does not.
