Colormunki?
in [Photoshop]

From: Longfellow on 9 Jul 2010 21:17 Newbie setting up a digital darkroom: HP Pavilion kit, 64bit 4 proc., 25" monitor (seems fully adjustable); Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400 (first version); Epson 3800; Adobe CS5 and LR3. So far, that is... And now I need to calibrate all this lest I get driven to dire and unwarranted actions because nothing matches anything else. So far, it seems that Colormunki (sp?) gets the nod. But what Colormunki? A "google" gets to a website ostensibly run by Italians (Designorati?), where they explain that there are three Colormunki solutions. The black device is for the photographer, the white device for the graphic designer, and the less expensive device is intended for photographers who don't want or need all the bells and whistles that come with the black one. Don't know if I've got it right, but that's the sense I was given on reading it. I'm curious about the experiences of other Colormunki users. Is the site indeed correct about the intended usages of each system? Is there any caveat awaiting the unwary newbie? Thanks for reading. Longfellow

The handling is simple and the software easy. The link to the company is : (I took the english link for you.) http://www.xrite.com/product_overview.aspx?ID=1115 My system: Vista-64, Photoshop CS3, Eizo Flexscan S2111W Regards Udo

It gives a good overview of monitor profiling, including all of the things that need to be considered due to the emergence of more capable monitors (wide gamut, rgb led backlit, etc), and discusses the different classed of profiling devices. Scroll down to about the middle of the newsletter to find the article. http://www2.chromix.com/colorsmarts/smartNote.cxsa?snid=50131&-session=SessID:43A656BD115c620A47ssx2ABBEC0
