Image Display
Calibration and Profiling
Your prints probably don’t look like they do on a computer monitor;
you are seeing the results of the need to calibrate (or profile) both monitor and printer.
It needs to be one of the first things to think about for both monitors and
printers when what you saw in the viewfinder needs to be recaptured both on
screen when editing and on paper after printing.
Monitor Calibration
Software.
Using software to calibrate displays will produce some variable results.
If you &re using Adobe Photoshop V5 or later, then Adobe Gamma can be used.
Hardware
Colorvision manufacture 2 types starting (as of September 2005) at $185.
Colorblinds Have ColorBlind Prove IT -
more expensive (around $280+) and not suitable for LCD profiling, apparently.
Printer Profiling
As soon as I can get good enough information to accurately reflect what one
needs to do to profile a printer, I will report it here!
