Monitor Calibration Report

[codewarrior]

I bought a monitor callibrator, and, oddly enough, callibrated my monitors today. The before and after was remarkable vs. eyeball callibration with Adobe Gamma.

If you print a lot of photos/graphics, and don't like having what you see on the screen not match what you get out of the printer, I highly recommend it.

That said, for the average ooter, the benefit is this: realistic skin tones. Think about it.

what is a monitor calibrator? just a fancy deguasser?

[codewarrior]

It is a sensor that plugs into USB and "reads" the color on your screen to profile you monitor's color response. The profile then is used by Windows to show the correct color. My monitors were both a little cool, in otherwords, stuff had a bluish cast that I didn't even realize was there.

i c. i think my friend whos into graphic design did this. i assume its a must for that type of work, especially when high res printing is involved.
