Well ... it would be more correct to say it got me ... :suspect:

Attended an Elements 5 seminar at Digital Depot yesterday, Wednesday (good stuff BTB ... !) ... and, well, it's just so very rude NOT to spend some dosh while there ... :thinking: ... isn't it ... :shrug:

So anyway ... THIS is what I walked out with ... amongst other stuff ... :naughty: ... and I have to say even then I was a bit of an old skeptick ... ;) ... and I couldn't get the cheaper Huey could I ... box is Red innit ... :D

Good stuff ...

 1. It is all very neatly packaged in a Green fronted box and comes with screen cleaning wipes and chamois as well as a handy cradle and extension USB cable ... as well as the Huey itself and the software disk.

2. Loading the software is the usual piece of cake and takes just minutes few ... aside from the almost customary re-boot.

3. Calibration itself is a wiz ... very easy to follow, clear, on-screen instructions also with expanded explanation if required.

4. At the end of calibration you have the option of having the Huey monitor ambient light constantly and make any necessary changes ... or not.

5. It was less than a hundred notes ... really it was !

6. The box is Green innit (on the front) ... :p

Bad Stuff ...

1. I've now got to re-process all my photos as they all look a tad washed out ... :suspect:


Conclusion ...

Why would any numpty like me think they can get away so long without calibrating their monitor/s proper like ... and be able to see everything in glorious technicolor at last ... ;)

Ahem *cough* :whistling:
 
excellent, now your monitors calibrated we'lll get away from all this red font ;)
 
So that's why every thing's been green all this time........ :shrug:
 
Oh dear! Is the world ready I ask myself? :thinking:

I think I might have to involve myself in a colour..... feeling so left out :(
 
As long as it's NOT PINK Barry ... that belongs to Matty of course ... :naughty:

Been very tempted a few times...ever since Focus at the NEC..still not shelled out my pennies, but after latest review in one of the mags, have dropped VERY big hints to him indoors, as it's my birthday soon! Mind you, once you've done all your monitors, you then have to do something clever to your printer too, so they match. DF did try to explain all this to me but........;)

Glad you happy with it.
 
I got myself a colorvision express, takes about ten minutes to run the cycle and the jobs jobbed, Only problem is the express only supports a single monitor (but there is a way round it, its a pain but possible) 100% improvement in colours
 
My Huey pro arrived from Kerso this morning. Now I need to calibrate my eyes as everything looks slightly green :)
 
so now your monitor is calibrated, how do you match your printer to the monitor?
Is thier a software prog for that too?

:lol:

This is something I think most of us 'know' we should be doing, but never do (Me included)
 
torque22 - that's stage 2 of my dastardly plan... well ok, it isn't - I just wanted to make the best out of my monitor

marcel - initial tests suggest 'don't bother'

stuarth - so far no. I (and others after searching the web) seem to end up a with a distinctly green tinged monitor. Using it for an hour or two last night I got used to it but today I've switched it on and again and it's instant green-tinge. I've turned it off for now and might just sell the Huey.
