<p>It is helpful to have an accurate file and print for comparison. Mpix is an online processing company (recommended) with well calibrated equipment. They sell a calibration kit for $3 that includes an accurate 8x10 print including gray scales and also a CD with the print's digital file. You compare the paper print to the CD file and adjust the monitor. This is cheap and actually has worked better for me that a monitor calibrator tool for the brightness adjustment. <br>

Look at http://mpix.com/Kits.aspx/papersamplekit<br>

Because a real photo print lasts longer than an inkjet print I use only real prints, and Mpix does every large print for me. For 4x6 work I use a drugstore and include the Mpix calibration .jpg file in my order files. If the drugstore print does not match the Mpix calibration 8x10 photo then I know the problem is the drugstore. <br>

Get the kit. Compare and adjust your monitor to the print, and also print the file with your inkjet if you use one. Compare your print to the Mpix print. If your time is worth anything then the $3 kit is dirt cheap. While you are ordering, try a 20" x 30" print from Mpix. It will knock your socks off.</p>

<p>Thanks KN, Ashley, and Robert. I got what I need.</p>

<p>I still use CS3 and got a new Canon 50D, but can't fine the Adobe raw 4.64 file which allows raw conversion. The Adobe web site only has updates for ACR 5.0+ because they want my money to upgrade to CS4.<br>

Any idea where I can get the ACR 4.6 upgrade file?<br>
