Default how to calibrate monitor
I have a Macbook Pro laptop and I would like to know how to color calibrate the monitor. I've had images printed from it before and they look great but, I've never confirmed it.


Thanks

your best bet is to get a calibration tool like a spyder or colormunki.
Short of that, there are some good calibration techniques on the link provided by Krusty79

i'm partial to this one...
