Spyder2Express Color Calibration

From the moment you click the shutter to make a photo until the final place where the photo is to be viewed, everything can make or break a photo.

After you transfer your images from your digital camera to your computer, you can view them on your computer’s screen. If you choose to change the photo’s colors, if your monitor is not calibrated correctly, you could be changing colors that need no change at all.

I use the DataColor Spyder2Express to calibrate my monitor. However, many different tools can also be used to calibrate, including Pantone Huey, X-Rite Eye-One, and other devices.

The difference between the devices is the number of monitors and the color choices that can be calibrated.

If you use Photoshop, Lightroom, or any other software to manipulate images, you need to calibrate your monitor so that you see the most accurate color possible as you work.
