Does affect screen calibration

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

I've been using Shades for a while, and like it a lot. But when I made a screen profile resently (with Color Eyes Display Pro) I noticed that changing profiles in Screen Preferences acted strange. I then turned Shades off, and the newly made profile made the screen turn green!
I made a new profile with Shades turned off, and things work now.
So if you don't care about profiling your screen, then Shades is very nice. But if you calibrate your screen, then I think it's a no good, at least for the time being.

That's absolutely correct. It hoses color management.
