monitor color calibration

>Mike mentioned that he was having color correction problems with his photos, other than the fact that he has color vision problems. Here are 3 monitor calibration options:www.displaymate.com, www.bryce-alive.net/calibrate, and www.epaperpress.com/monitorcal/ Any of these will help you greatly improve color of a monitor that is out of range and significantly enhance the accuracy of your photos and posts.

>Monitor color calibration is only half of the story.
If your final goal is just to have your images look good on a screen. I wouldn't go nuts trying to calibrate your monitor to perfection, especially if you plan on sharing your images on a forum like this. The reason, every monitor is different. A good example would be go to a store where they sell TVs and look at all the screens that are playing, how many screens look the same!
If your final goal is to output to a hardcopy, you should need to calibrate your monitor to your output device. Your output device can be a photo printer, inkjet printer, digital printer or a printing press.
It's important to calibrate your monitor and output device simultaneously to give you consistent results between what you see on the screen, the hardcopy and real life. This is not an easy task. Monitors are RGB, printers are CMYK, and the color gamut is different for both. But this is another topic of discussion and not for the faint of heart.

>Thanks for the information! Whenever I send pics, people tell me they are washed out because I brighten them up too much. But they looked fine on my monitor. After checking out those calibration sites, I realized my monitor is not as bright as it used to be. Time for a new monitor!
