monitor calibration

View Range said:
Back Alley, you need to be more specific about what you are doing. If you are just posting files on the internet, you don't need to calibrate because those looking at your files are not using calibrated monitors. If you are printing, how serious are you? Will you profile your camera and printer after calibrating your monitor? Is your monitor adequate for graphics? If you are serious, you may want to consider an Eizo Color Guard monitor with a built in calibrator. I use a CX271 monitor and the calibrator is done every 200 hours of monitor on-time.

i don't have a printer...i use a local lab and the end results seem ok to me.

It isn't necessary. Go back to sleep or whatever you do with all the time you have left over by not taking the time to do things well.

Do you have a monochrom camera that gives you native b&w files or are you color files and convert them to monochrom images? Rethorical question...:rolleyes:

You will get the best results if you process the color image first for acurate color and exposure and then convert the file to b&w. If you trust your camera and use the b&w jpgs, then forget about you asked about calibrating...;)

i'm using the acros simulation atm...jpegs.
 
so many assumptions based on a simple question.
i have a spyder4 and calibrate my cheap viewsonic monitor.
i was wondering if the need was the same for b&w as it is for colour.
i plan on shooting only the acros simulation for the foreseeable future.
