It made a huge difference for me when I calibrated my monitor (as well as having a good graphics card that let me do it). Now that my monitor is set, I need to work on my printer to get the colors I want on my prints. Thanks for the great videos, Ed.

Hi Gregory congratulations on the video. I just bought a 4k IPS screen notebook and a Spyder X calibrator, so I have a question that haunts me. If the screen brightness is manually adjusted, how do I get the right amount of brightness when I edit the images? thank you in advance.

Hi Ed, thanks for the video, very useful

Seems very useful! Awesome videos!👍

really cool. can't wait to get hold of these

Thanks for this Ed! I’ve been looking for some guidance on monitor calibration for ages. This is great thanks!!

I know right. I definitely learned a lot what it comes to monitor calibration for photographers. I can't believe I had never done this.

Quesstion... do you recommend buying a used spyder 5 pro or the newer version spyder x pro??

wow, does this really work that well? i know my main monitor is not calibrated but I haven't been able to do it by myself... seem so simple to used, I am definitely gonna think about it

Great content!👍

Great video Ed! What are your thoughts on editing on a laptop? The screen output can vary according to how the screen is slanted or how you are looking at it. Thanks

This product got me excited! Looking forward to trying it out on my own laptop!

This is a great video so helpful

This is a very good video on the Spyder5 and how easy it is to use. I can't wait to get one and do this with my monitors. How does the software work with multiple monitors on one computer?

Hi Ed. After you calibrate the first time your monitor, how long does it takes for you to need to do it the second time?

such a helpful video! thanks for talking about this topic:)

Welcome to the Dark (Calibrated) Side! Honestly, when you answered a question about this topic in one of your video's last year by saying that you never calibrated I was very surprised to hear that. It did not make me swear off ever watching your videos again, but it did honestly give me a slight pause about your advice. I have no idea why you haven't been doing this all along. You take great photographs.

To be honest I have always used Apple computers and they are factory calibrated. The colors always looked great across all the computers. Little did I know how far they were off. I’m thankful to have tested this. The results are amazing. I won’t ever go back now.

Photos In Color I assumed that ‘relying’ on Apple prefab cal might be your reply... I’m glad you now realise that Apple are not the great God everyone thinks they are. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a happy Apple user but some have allowed them to ‘rule the damn world’ & think for us, resulting in increasing old knowledge fading away. I can only guess you were just fortunate enough not to have print issues all this uncalibrated time. Lucky guy! Anyhow, I’ve used ColorMunki for years & my monitors are def not hi-end, yet, results thru workflow are fine. Maybe try that (if they still make it? 😄) Cheers ✌️

how the calibration works when you have 2 monitors attached to your desktop (both monitor from same brand, same model, bought same time, but their image look a bit uneven)? thank you

Thanks mate, your video tutorials help me a lot..

Amazing results. Very impressive. I know this is the Spyder 5 but any comments on the XRite similar product ? Thanks

Thank you for all the tips you've been giving throughout your videos. It has helped me with a lot of my edits and work flow. Being new to photography was quite scary; though, your videos really helped make sense out of not only my camera, but just my overall experience with the beauty of capturing what I truly want! Thank you!

Thanks for the awesome vids.

Thanks for the tips , keep it up!

Great video! I really never thought about the advantages of having a day and night calibration, but it makes sense

This video really helped me a lot. I usually faced this issue a lot. Thanks :)

Great info thanks

Welcome back Ed. More more more please

Thanks Ed! I need this!!!

Your lightroom tutorial helped me alot...great job keep going😊

Thanks Ed, that is a really cool tool. I have always really struggled to get the right colours from my monitors, most of the time I end up completely screwing it up so now I have given up trying.

Great comparison

You make this process sound so easy!!!!

Thanks for the video

Thank you so much Ed, for every single video that you made for us, always helping us improving our photography game... I've learned a lot watching your videos, thank you...best regards from Portugal

Does this also work for all kinds of laptops and computer monitors?

Great video! After calibration, is it possible to see the monitor setting values? Using that if we calibrate another monitor, will it be the same? Just a thought...

No it doesn’t give you any numbers. O builds a preset in you computers profiles so I think it’s a lot more complex than just changing the brightness was and temperature. It goes deeper. However you can just use the same device on all you monitors. It see all the external monitors and remembers them so tunes them perfectly. Or you use it on multiple computers. Perfect huh.

buy the cheapest spyder and then use displaycal which is a free calibration software. It's more accurate than datacolor's on software.

Thank you for your informative videos! I am sure that my monitor on my desktop and my laptop needs to be calibrated!

Great video! You have brought me the solution with your videos many many times now. Thanks!

Since the sharing media is more electronic these days, not sure what effect does calibrating your computer have on the other user computers (whose computer/tablet/phone is un-calibrated). Which Spyder will you suggest for a hobbyist?

Good Knowledge to Talk about ,never Knew about that calibration .Thank you for your effort and keep going ahead

Glad to see you back Ed. I’ve always wondered about calibrating my iMac and surface pro, thanks for making a video on it. Would these also work on iPads? I’ve been using CC a bit on it.

After editing on photoshop I upload my image to facebook and I'm noticing my pictures are more red, especially when I view it on my phone. Any suggestions other than this color calibrator?

Perfect timing! I just noticed that my prints are not matching my photos on my monitor. I've been researching calibration but I really need something that isn't too complicated. Thanks for your video!

Wow incredible I never thougt something like that will appear is amazing !!!!

We display our images on a 64” Samsung TV. Is it possible to calibrate that too?

Will it also calibrate iPhone screen? I’ve been known to edit photos while hiking on my phone quite often and notice differences when I later transfer to my iPad or MacBook.

@clearlyed

6 жыл бұрын

It won’t calibrate an iPhone screen no. Instead you need to calibrate your monitor. Then it will look so much better on your iPhone. And everyone else’s. You want to get it right as close to the source as possible.

I have a dual monitor and the colors are different from each other. How do I know which one is the right color when I'm saving a picture?

Like this video. I had a Spyder II previously. My biggest problem has been the brightness of my iMac. Images look fabulous but the biggest problem for me, is leaving the finished image prefect for printing. Even knowing the printer profile of a pretty decent printer service locally, I continue to have the problem of ascertaining perfect exposure, as seen on a bright iMac, against what the printer produces. Any advice gratefully received!

I'm always wondering about this very thing. The last monitor I had was getting older and I started noticing after I looked at something I edited on a different screen there was a noticeable difference. Been wanting to get one of these!

Very good video. This is a very important step in a photographer's work flow.

Glad to see you back on KZread....would love to have a spyder. Currently I don't use anything but by eye after getting some prints to compare

Exellent ! Thank you !

Whoaa, i didn't even know this was so amazing, I mean I just used to ignore just 'coz it feels like it would take so much time and quiet hard, it's actually opposite. This actually could help me so much. I was actually thinking this is too much of difficult stuff and not my cup of me and you actually made me believe it's definitely useful and quite amazing. 😍😍

Great video I bought a different brand model recently and was shocked by the results using a maci never got back photos that looked like the screen. I am only a hobbyist but am happy with the results I now get.
