How does a monitor-calibration-tool work? A well calibrated monitor is a precondition for quality scans, digital images, good image editing and prints. Numerous problems from newcomers in the field of digital imaging are caused by a inaccurate monitor calibration. This problem however can be easily solved with the appropriate utilities and some knowhow seen in the following chapters. A lot of problems of newcomers in digital imaging result from wrong monitor adjustments. Of course there are scanners and digital cameras who make images with colour faults but before making such a statement you should alsways check your own monitor. The list of real-life examples can be continued endlessly. No question there are image services who do not adjust there machines correctly, but numerous wrong prints are caused by optimizing an image for a special screen which look catastrophic if watched at a calibrated one. While one raves about his digital photos another one swears never to use a the scan service XY again. There the opionions differ in a wide range. Then many customers complain that a digital image service only delivers images with wrong colours. In that case you did not optimize the image but incorporated the "not-realised-monitor-calibration" in your picture which often results in a very effective and complete image destruction. If watched at another one the images suddenly appear to be brighter, too dull or have a colour fault. When printed out the corresponding image of the Eiffel Tower taken at lunchtime appears in half-light.Įven worse, if scans or images from camera are edited in that way that they look right and good at the uncalibrated monitor. Then there are customers who set the gradation curve mercilessly down (lowering the brightness values) only because the rays of sunlight shines indirectly at the screen.

Only solution: a monitor exchange or a calibration software which detects and compensates the wrong performance of the monitor.Ĭustomers who buy an own film scanner tend to compensate effects which are caused by external circumstances. Unfortunately this monitor did not has the option for a separate colour channel regulation. A wrong adjustment in the scan software? No, he was using a two year old monitor which red channel was adjusted too strongly.
One customer noticed a distinct red cast in all his images.

When the images were watched at a friends PC they looked like a dream.
We also have experienced a case in which the customers monitor was simply too old in order to display the colours in sufficient brightness. However, the dull adjustment of the monitor was not arbitrary because for those who work with office documents tend to turn down the monitor brightness. A simple correction of the customers monitor brightness solves this problem and the colours are now displayed correctly. But if we look at our monitors the colours are bright enough and look natural. Here some real-life examples:Ī customer complains that our scans from his photos are much too dark.
Since we digitalize a lot of photos for our customers in line with our Scan-Service and also deliver many scanners sold in our Filmscanner-Shop we get a lot of feedback of problems related to a missing monitor calibration. I want to start this subject with a typical user problem which always occurs periodically. Typical cases of a missing monitor calibration It is very important for us to show unexperienced newcomers in the field of digital photography, scanning and image editing the significance of monitor calibration. This website applies itself in detail to the subject of monitor calibration. And the final printer or photographic laboratory output is not necessarily what it was when shown at the monitor. Such simple calibrations which should be named "approximate adjustments" often provide the apparently best possible results but that has nothing to do with a correct representation of original colours on the monitor. Recommendable products for screen calibration are available in our online shop.
