Years ahead of me then!

Anyone here know of any monitor calibration service in sydney that won't send me broke?

My youngest daughter had her Confirmation and 1st Holy Comunnion 2 weeks ago and I've already PP's them in RAW via LR. I normally do not print my pictures but my wife wants to, to put in an album and to give to friends and family. I found out, although pics looked great on my monitor, it's not calibrated and I was told that I need to up 2/3 stop exposure in LR as it was too dark.

I searched for tools but they are so expensive! I've got kids to feed so a calibration tool is way down the list and recently I got new pc so that chewed up my personal savings. I'm not a pro just a hobbiest, so next best bet is to find someone who does monior calibration for a small fee. I found one place in Brisbane for about $40 but that's in Brisbane..

Any help would be much appreciated.

I downloaded some freebie software to do it... can't remember the name of it though. It does a good job as long as your eyes are good at differentiating different tones.

Wrong thread...

I've never heard of such a service, i did basic one like Dan, then checked it by uploading some images to forums and ask if colour is ok. On top of that i have a calibration image from the printing company i use (digitalworks) and now i have it pretty good, so what an image looks like on my monitor will be same as the printed image.

Calibration is an on going job, if you have it done once it doesnt mean it fixed forever.

Try

if you are concerned. However a lot of semi pros don't bother. Just search for a calibration tool where you have to determine black to white across the range of samples supplied.

So Justin, when's this pizza day?

Im away on the weekend of the 1st, 2nd. Any other weekend is fine. Biggest problem has always been getting everyone free at the same time. We would probably need at least 4 people to make it worthwhile, as starting the oven takes a couple of hours.
