Hey Guys
First what do you guys recommend for monitor calibration?
Also have any of you calibrated a multiple monitor set up? Is it possible?
How do you manage to calibrate your camera?
Do you preset your camera for all lighting conditions?
Thank You for any info or links you can provide. |

First what do you guys recommend for monitor calibration?
I use a grayscale strip to get the brightness & contrast adjusted. PaintshopPro also has a visual calibration built in, and it applies the result as a monitor profile. I think my setup is as good as it can get without a good calibration device. I don't get a lot of comments on weird skin tones or wonky colors, so I'm pretty sure it's close.
Also have any of you calibrated a multiple monitor set up? Is it possible?
I just worry about my main monitor, the secondary monitor is old and darker, so I just use that for palletes and file manager windows.
How do you manage to calibrate your camera?
I shoot in RAW, which saves everything that hits the sensor, so all my color adjustment is done in postprocessing.
Do you preset your camera for all lighting conditions?
Somelighting conditions can be tricky and I sometimes make adjustments to compensate, but if the exposure is off just a little, shooting RAW gives me some fudge factor.

I use a Panatone Huey Pro which will keep track of and calibrate two monitors on the same computer. Currently I have a 24" Viewsonic and a Dell 20" and both have separate profile. Very easy to use.
As has been said you just shoot in RAW and then the software, in my case Lightroom 3 and PS5, take care of the rest.

| I'm using a ColorMunki. The software supports a second monitor, although that doesn't help very much. It's a very old and cheap one. Nice addition: you can create profiles for all kinds of paper. My prints on normal paper looks a lot better now. |
