Wow!! Thanks again Ka Mastah!! You explain things clearly and I won't see this kind of explanation more clearer anywhere, using the Pi analogy made it more simple to understand plus the visual aid showing the color scope of each work space right on top of each other. What a big difference!! I'll probably try this new work flow and see what the out come would be in my uncalibrated laptop monitor. It really makes a difference!! If I look at the second photo the colors are really lifelike. Since I can see the colors better means my monitor is more or less near the actual colors ;D

Agree with Neon 100%. Another important PP lesson from the Mastah himself. Will also try this new approach. Thanks a lot for your untiring efforts to share the new techniques that you acquire Mastah Romy.

Thanks, Rey and Neon.
The first time I used a calibrated IPS monitor, I was amazed at the shadow and highlight details one can see. In dim lighting, I can actually distinguish a 1, 1, 1 (R, G, B) from pure black (0, 0, 0). Likewise, a near white of 254, 254, 254 can be differentiated from pure white (255, 255, 255), albeit with a little squinting. A 253, 253, 253 value stands out like a sore thumb from pure white.
The colors are so unbelievable, and the roll-off (change of color and tonality) is very smooth, that I'm having more fun post-processing now than going out to bird!!! ;D

Hi romy i'm at the iStore at Bonifacio High Street looking at your work on a 24-incj Apple Cinema LED Display and I see the difference Hehe..... looks like you're getting one of these nice displays. I almost went Mac system because of my frustration in searching for a good IPS or VA panel. ;D

Even if you may not always use the extra colors, you never want to eliminate them as a possibility for those images which require them.Note that new Canon and Nikon cameras shoot in 14-bit, and this is mapped out to 16-bit TIFFs in RAW conversion.
