Now, if we could get together and buy a good monitor calibration package, we could send it around and all get our monitors calibrated. Probably wouldn't work for all of us, though. The kind I mean isn't just software but includes a colorimeter, too.

My faithful monitor, a 6+ year old NEC XV17+, excited its last electron a week or so a go. I've been making do with my wife's mid-level pc since then (sometimes shifting her monitor to my Mac), but it isn't the same. Text and graphics on her 17" are crisp and clear, but some photos in various web galleries are now very "blah"-- but were quite nice viewed on my old monitor. I've just realized I can pick my lens/film/paper trying to achieve a certain look (with limited success, but the process is fun). What I can't anticipate or control, it seems, is how well that image will travel to other viewers. Very frustrating. When my new monitor comes, I should be happy with what I'm seeing (once again). Though I'm not sure I'll be very confident that other people are seeing what I am. Dan Scott (aarg.) [EMAIL PROTECTED] - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
