Profiling Your Monitor
Back in the good ol' days of film, you could rest assured that your print would look the same no matter who you gave it to. Then digital photography came along and everybody started looking at photographs on their computer screens. The problem with this, is that any two monitors can vary in brightness, color, and contrast, meaning that the same image can look completely different from one monitor to the next. Professional photographers and videographers have known about monitor profiling and calibrating for years, but the importance of maintaining a properly profiled monitor has yet to be adequately explained to the average consumer.
