Why should I calibrate my monitor?

A photographer with a certain quality claim should be calibrated not only his camera, but also their PC or notebook monitor.

The reasons are simple: Only one monitor can ensure a well-balanced natural color reproduction. It's enough already, leave some parameters in mind in order to distort the effect of a photo. If the monitor is calibrated optimally, however, you recognize the vulnerability of a recording immediately and can help out with professional retouching.

Especially critical is the reworking of allegedly falsified photos on an incorrectly or inadequately calibrated monitor. If the "error" in the image that is produced by the monitor, the recording looks reworked on a different medium than it really is not modified. The effect you observed very often in the great halls of electronics retailing: The test is always the same image appears on ten televisions side by side always somehow different.

With the requirement of a professional work environment so is accompanied by a well-tuned, high-quality monitor. Many photographers put in places several thousand € in their camera equipment content, but then in the post with a 200 € discount from the electronic device. In short: To calibrate Sane, you also need a reasonably compatible monitor.

The calibration of a professional monitor is on so-called "ICC profile" but,. These include is a file that contains information for the color output of a medium. This medium can be for example a PC monitor, but also a printer or other output device. Such an ICC profile that you can recognize the file extension. "Icc", describes the color space depicted.

Professional graphics programs like Photoshop can read the ICC calibration of each monitor this file and consider the corresponding representation of the photo. Such a profile is completely absent or it must be heavily modified, to appear unsightly brushstrokes.
