You make a decision about what CD/m2 you want, based on reading the extremely good stickies here, then the calibrator will guide you in adjusting the luminance (just a posh word for brightness).

Jeez, this just seems really complicated to me... I need to hit Google and started reading. Fuji X-T1 | Fuji 18-55 f/2.8-4 | Fuji 35 f/1.4

Jun 05, 2012 11:13 | #21 Titus213 wrote in post #14534385 Or as simple as getting a calibration unit that allows control of the luminance (brightness) and letting it do its thing. I'm using a Spyder3 Elite and it works great for my iMac. Then run some prints and see how they look. I suppose I'll have to do that. Thanks. When Spyder3 does its thing and calibrates the monitor, what is it calibrating it to, exactly? I guess that's one thing I've never really understood. Fuji X-T1 | Fuji 18-55 f/2.8-4 | Fuji 35 f/1.4
