1.4 Screen Calibration
Having a properly calibrated monitor is a critical factor when viewing
images. Ensure that digital viewing conditions are as accurate as pos-
sible. A quality monitor and calibration tool should help guarantee that
displayed images on a screen are precisely rendered. Once a moni-
tor has been calibrated, the color and brightness controls should be
locked to prevent inadvertent changes.
Hardware-based monitor calibrators are now available at reasonable
prices. The process is simple, quick and enables images to be viewed
with condence. Many higher level monitors have internal calibrating
software that works with professional calibration devices for ultimate
accuracy.
