My calibrator even tells tell me the commercial value range from 0 to 10 and automatically transfers the best keywords directly into the meta data of the image.   :)

I thought that you were making yourself out to be a superior professional, and you mock monitor calibration?

It's a joke! Of course I consider monitor calibration important especially using a canon where I feel it over saturates the reds and yellows.  Making myself a superior professional? I think not- my work is below average at best compared to the majority of folks on this site...

Yes. I have an IMAC and it has excellent color properties without the Spyder but I have always trusted the Spyder's results on my old PC so I use it on the MAC as well.  When I use 2.2 gamma @ 6500k there is a noticeable difference from the IMAC settings. Mainly due to brightness changes and slight saturation differences.
