Monitor calibration and ICC workflow profiling.

[Oplok]

---

How many here properly calibrate their monitors and use proper color profiling with their photography?

I wanted this to be a poll but i don't know how to start a poll thread so here are the options:

1. I profile my monitor using hardware calibration.
2. I profile my monitor using some sort of software.
3. I don't do color profiling at all because I just trust my monitor as-is.

Feel free to explain your own methods too. Thanks.

Ooppss, 4 should be 3, i'll fix that.

@no. 2, there used to be adobe gamma a basic software for eyeballing which comes with PS but im not sure if the new versions of PS still do. There are other software out there.

1. I profile my monitor using hardware calibration.

This is the most accurate calibration method. I am using spyder 3 express, used it on my 23'' LCD monitor.

Profile your whole System to get your perfect color preference
-DSLR Camera --> PC/MAC --> Monitor --> Printer

you can learn how to do this Extremely Technical and Expensive System Profiling at The Luminous Landscape

1, 2 or 3 so which one do you follow? I have been using method 1 for years ever since ICC was introduced/implemented.

i can only apply no.1 since thats my only hardware i can use "Huey"

#1 is the better option....
