Here's a good description, at several levels of detail, on how to do a decent and pretty good job of calibrating a screen to view images, which is based on the MacBeth color-checker.

If you don't, you may need one for other things anyway (but they seem to be rather expensive). http://plaidworks.com/ctein/howtovue.htm -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@dd-b.net / http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ John Dyer-Bennet 1915-2002 Memorial Site http://john.dyer-bennet.net Dragaera mailing lists, see http://dragaera.info
