The joy of digital photography can be quickly diffused when the
photograph we’ve printed doesn’t resemble what we saw on our monitors.
Dramatic differences in brightness, contrast and especially color make
using a digital darkroom an exercise in frustration instead of
creativity. Monitor-calibration systems, such as those from Datacolor ColorVision, Pantone and X-Rite (formerly GretagMacbeth), have been designed to help photographers, whether professional or enthusiast, make sure that their LCDs or CRTs are outputting the best and most accurate image possible. What you want from a monitor is for it to provide a color-neutral workspace that allows you to confidently enhance your images. Since so much of image editing is dependent on a visual assessment of what’s on the screen, a calibrated monitor becomes essential.
