General Photography Discussion / Monitor Calibration for Stock Photos
« on: November 22, 2009, 12:36 »
I've read quite a few articles about the importance of calibrating the monitor, and particularly in reducing the brightness of LCD monitors down to 90 cd/m2 in order to avoid dark looking prints from the image. I have used ColorEyes Display Pro to get to that level, and it certainly is darker that you would normally expect a monitor to be.
My question - does the group use monitors calibrated down to this lower level of brightness (which I am sure is correct for printing), or a more "middle ground" brightness because most of the buyers will be using monitors calibrated for a higher brightness level, or do you think it doesn't matter as long as the colors are right!
