[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 988464, member: 7966"] I currently use Colormunki and I calibrate my monitor and I use a Costco store close to work and I use their profile to ensure end-to-end synchronization. [FONT=microsoft sans serif]I am about ready to upgrade my calibration system and I will probably go to[SIZE=2] Datacolor Spyder4Pro Display Calibration System[/SIZE] which is even more than the Express you linked to. I like the software with [/FONT][FONT=microsoft sans serif]the Spyder products[/FONT][FONT=microsoft sans serif] much better than the Xrite that comes with Colormunki which also uses the non-standard Pantone colors. Hardware is basically the same.[/FONT] In regards to Spyder Pro vs Spyder express - Pro software has more functionality in White balance adjustment, color profile tuning, etc. It also steps the user through the various aspects of calibration of RGB, brightness, and contrast settings on the monitor. After this, it measures, and makes a monitor profile with very slight tweaks to the color. In my case, since I use multiple monitors on my laptop and PC, the Pro allows the controlling of more than one monitor and therefore PC at a time. Another good site for technical aspects of Photography such as monitor calibration: [url=http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/monitor-calibration.htm]Monitor Calibration for Photography[/url] After reading this, you can judge whether any calibration is even necessary or to what level you need to go. Skin tones are usually the main concern unless you are in Product photography then color calibration is king. [/QUOTE]
