It is a pittance compared to the spend on camera/filters/scopes etc. but without it, we may as well have cheapo filters as we aren't getting the best out of our imaging. It can also calibrate your TV/projector etc.
For those on a budget, grab one of these, http://www.imagescience.com.au/produ...nki-Smile.html
they can often be found for under a hundred.
Without monitor calibration, imaging processing is a somewhat random exercise. I reckon a colourimeter should be the first purchase after you buy a camera. People spend so much chasing optical perfection, it's worth spending a tiny bit more to make sure you are seeing the results of all that work in their true colours. |
Yes it looks interesting and may be worth a try. Thing is my last 22" Samsung monitor was a cracker and seemed to produce the goods without any adjustments what so ever, as Phil Hart once commented in a thread about monitor calibration here on IIS... with words to the effect "Looking at your images Mike, you don't have to worry about monitor calibration mate" I'll take a Phil Hart assessment over a digital gadget any day
At the moment however and after the above monitor gave up the ghost late last year, after 6 years of faithful service, I am using a cheap small digital TV and I don't think it is optimally calibrated, particularly in dynamic range/contrast..?
I plan to get a new monitor at some stage reasonably soon, in teh meantime I will try and just gauge the crowd response
