When I first started into digital, my monitor wasn't calibrated. I used to print my own pictures, and I would drive myself nuts trying to get the prints to match what I was seeing on my monitor. After many
"choice words", and a lot of research, I broke down and purchased a Spyder2. If I had only known it was that simple to get my prints to "better match" what was on my screen, I would have started calibrating from the get go. It certainly saves me a lot of frustration!!!
