Question

gamma: 1.8 or 2.2, etc.

I am using a Mac G5 (1995), OS 10.5.8, and a LaCie electron b 22 CRT, with PS CS4, processing in camera raw and adobe RGB. I need a monitor calibrator (was using a Spyder, but unhappy with it), and will get an LCD when the LaCie croaks. My questions are:

1) Can I use the same calibration brand/system for both CRT and LCD? (The LCD would likely be a NEC PA 27xx or similar). If "yes" for certain brands, please suggest.

2) I have seen both 1.8 and 2.2 as the preferred gamma for Mac systems. Does this depend on age and hardware? For my current set-up, is 1.8 the correct number? What about for Lightroom 3?

3) Is ColorMunki any good for printer calibration (Epson R2400)?

Thank you for your help!

    Sorry....  Although I see no other place to ask it, I'll withdraw the question.
