Workflow
Monitor Calibration
The second method and prefered, is a monitor spyder calibration system. This is by far the best way to achieve maximum results from your workflow. A spyder reads the phosphors in your monitor and adjusts it with great precision and accuracy. A must have for any serious photographer.
You simply load the spyder software onto your harddrive and follow the instructions. This usually consists of sticking the spyder onto your monitor and having the spyder software read your values.
The spyder will give you target which
usually consists of a bargraph. The
software will give a target value to
reach with the RGB and your
brightness/contrast and you can use your monitors
OSD (On Screen Display) to adjust each of them.
When the target is reached, the software will
create a custom profile and save it to a specified
folder.
It is recommended to get a monitor that allows you to adjust the RGB values in the OSD!
