Calibrating my LCD monitor

[alain_martinez]

I really don't know what forum to post this question in. I thought

this was the most appropiate one.

 

I just bought two LCD monitors, but my pictures now look too

bright. What ever was well lit before it now appears burned. Does

any one know a tool, or a method to calibrate all the settings in

one's monitor to be the same as the printers where one prints (Lab,

Home, whatever)

 

Thanks in advance,

Alain

Depending on your accuracy needs you may go anywhere from a manual tuning of contrast and brightness to a hardware/software assisted color calibration. Check <a href:="http://www.epaperpress.com/monitorcal/index.html">this</a> for a manual example. Gretag Macbeth and Colorvision are the most frequently mentioned color calibration tool vendors.</p>

Hope this helps,</p>
