Not sure if my first 'hello' message was posted - I never saw it - so verrrrry briefly, I'm an outdoor photographer, writer and occasional teacher. I still shoot film and scan on Nikon Coolscan to supply Alamy, Corbis and miscellaneous clients - but digital camera purchase can't be far off. This list is very helpful.
Now to my question. Sorry if this is too entry-level for most of you, but it will help me and (I hope) a bunch of other people too.
The monitor calibration utility in Mac OS 10.3 is considerably more sophisticated than it was in OS 9 (don't know about earlier versions of X). Just how useful, accurate, etc do the experts consider it to be?
I have to advise various people, including amateur and semi-pro photographers, and I just know they won't like the idea of spending �100 or whatever on 'proper' calibration packages. I either need a compelling argument to convince them that this is necessary, or to have confidence in saying 'the calibration within the OS is pretty good and certainly a whole lot better than nothing'.
Also, can anyone comment on a comparable utility in Windows? Is there a similar utility within the OS or is it better to use Adobe Gamma?
Thanks
