Hi All,
My first posting;- with regard to the calibration bar seems well defined on my laptop,my kelvin meter varies red to blue depending on if iam drinking either a red or white wine.. Thanks

yay mines good!
One day I'll take some serious photos, just not today
Canon 50D | 450D Gripped | 50mm 1.8| 18-55 | 100-300 | Tamron 17-50 f2.8 | 85mm f1.8 | Manfrotto Tripod | Studio Flashies | 430EX | Loads of useless gadgets | All this gear and still no idea.....
This got my attention and I'm pleased to say my monitor is about as 'sane' as I can get it. Thanks for this, very handy!

I did spot it some time ago and looked at it. Saw all the segment and thought my monitor was good.
It was something similar that I used when I first got my iMac. Simplest tool I've ever used.
Thanks for putting it there.
Ha - alway wondered what that little graph at the bottom of the page was for! Thanks Kym... I have certified my monitor as sane your honour
If everyone, esp. competition voters, had calibrated monitors then things would be a more even playing field.
People would also get a closer rendering when they printed their images !
Yes mine also checks out good on the grey scale, it was only calibrated a couple of weeks ago,.
But it does raise a question about colour space and colour temperature I use sRGB and 6500K as white?

This is a great little tool, will adjust my monitor when i get home
Thanks Kym
All CC is welcome
@I@M
Agree but those using IE to gauge colour space and white balance from an 8bit jpg aren't likely to pick the difference either.
I'm still trying to come to terms with the local print shops printers and the dumb look I get when I ask about calibration of their print system.

Very handy to have as an instant guide. I calibrate our monitors using the Spyder on a weekly basis. There is never a great deal of variation but keeping the ambient light levels constant is a pain in the proverbial.
Thanks Kym, very helpful.
thanks for the guidance - mine's ok - graemeb24
It helped me out!
As noted previously in this thread. The Calibration Bar does NOT mean your monitor is correctly calibrated! All it does is show the range of brightness your monitor is set to/displays. It does not show white balance, or colour correctness. It is a simple tool to help with one aspect of the entire monitor calibration accuracy process. The best way to ensure your monitor is correctly calibrated is to get a hardware calibration device, like a Colorvision Spyder, Eizo EasyPix, X-rite Eye One, etc
