I just received prints for my first wedding back only to notice that they were significantly darker than my monitored made them out to be. Therefore, I've read that I should get a monitor calibration tool however i'm having a hard time which one to buy. I'm deciding between the huey pro and the spyder 2/3? What do you all use/recommend? thanks

Amazon has the spyder 2 express for sale, I think I am going to go with that. Make sure you read the big color management "sticky" in the RAW and Post processing section.

Ditto on the Spyder2...I've had one for a few months and I can't believe the difference between a calibrated and uncalibrated monitor.

Another vote for the spyder 2.

I bought it because my pictures were always way off what my printer would output but now its 99% identical every time
