ot : monitor calibration

[Jean]

In order to get "good" pictures from my scans, I'm going to break down and
get a color profile system. Which would you recommend - the Colorvision
Spyder with Photocal ($140 @ B&H) or the Monaco OPTIX ($150 @ B&H) ?

Gretag MacBeth - EyeOne is the cheapest monitor calibrator they have.

If I had to pick one of those it wouldn't be colorvision ;-)

Search Google Groups for "nikita eyeone" and you'll find two very
detailed answers regarding cheap profiling solutions. Should be
enough to help you make a decision. I should add that I have yet to
see a recommendation to *avoid* GretagMacbeth, even at the low
end--they seem to offer superior performance and just happen to charge
more along the way.

Also, there's now an EyeOne2 that GM is promoting for LCD use. I
don't know if it's the "best"...maybe we should wish Nikita some more
rainy weather so we can find out.

Thanks for the reference to the previous discussions. Nikita's remarks
basically echo the results of comparisons I've found on the web. Alas, the
Gretag system is a tad out of my price range.
