Screen Calibration using the Spyder3

Today my friends is an important day, or as I very recently realised, a very important day! Today is the calibrate your screen day. Wait you might say, I didn’t know this existed? Well it didn’t until I just invented it. Here’s the story.

I’ve never really been that big on screen calibration and mainly seen it as a thing that would just cost me money for not that visible results and so I never really tried it or anything, just dismissed because of the cost. Now however, yesterday, I got to try the calibration deal with a Spyder3 Elite that we have in the store where I work and man did it do a difference! I mean even at my laptop screen, yes, my glossy, low-qual MacBook screen it made a big difference. I’m now totally hooked up on this and going to order my own Spyder3 and make sure I calibrate my screen and colour manage all more properly than I’ve done before. It’s something I never really started to learn because I did dismiss it without seeing the difference!

As it should be, all because I am psyched up about it, today becomes the ”Calibrate your screen day” and be sure to see more things on screen calibration soon when I get up and running.
