I have a Macbook Pro laptop and I would like to know how to color calibrate the monitor. I've had images printed from it before and they look great but, I've never confirmed it.


Thanks

Buy a calibrator like an iOneDisplay or Spyder3

Oh, forgot: Be aware that editing on a laptop (even if it's calibrated) is not ideal: The image will change quite a bit if you change position a bit relative to the display...
Not to say that it's impossible, but you definitely need to be aware of it.

Rene does the Spyder work well with a dual monitor set up?

Does it do all of the adjustments to the monitor automatically or does it tell you how to make adjustments?


Cheers,
