I took one calibration test and I got perfect results, but then I took another different one and it said my colours were off.

Meh my monitors work fine

Your best bet for good quality colour is using calibration utilitys like spyder [Link to spyder.datacolor.com] (im pretty sure thats the one that most places seem to use) or pantone. I personally use I One match. They just sit on your screen and measure your colours to create a suitible colour profile.

If something like that is too expensive you can download freebee software that helps but isnt nearly as spot on.

I tried a free one out on my laptop since I've always noticed light greys and whites are indistinguishable, and it worked like a charm. Not doubting the power of the expensive ones but in my experience the free ones (or at least the free one I'm using) works just fine.

Yes, but when/if you're going to make prints of your work, more often than not the colours won't match the output of your printer if you haven't calibrated your screen to your printer. I always keep a CMYK and an RGB colour profile and make duplicates with both formats of pictures I'm going to print. And I have to recalibrate my monitor as the ink cartridges gets older, it's tough work but I'm a perfectionist. To bad my good monitor died, so now everything is crap

If the images are only intended to be viewed on-screen RGB works just fine IMHO

I guess it would be useful when designing for print, so far I haven't had to do that; all my work has been based on the computer.

Well you should print it, I don't know if it's just me but there's something extra in having something physical to hold in your hand that makes you feel proud and giving you this kind of "I Made This"-feeling.

yeah I'm exactly the same, I get ll happy and giddy when I'm sending stuff off to be printed because I know I'm going to have something really cool to be put up on the wall and to be proud of.

I'm getting the cows printed this week at about a meter squared! Sooo excited!

Agreed I got some of my worked printed and I was like wow I made that.

Hmmm I'd play Bioshock but I've got too much of a backlog of games/movies I've bought and not finished. Seem to have lost motivation to do too much these days.

I was the same. I hadnt been into gaming for a good five or six years. Then I played prince of persia and Bioshock... somehow i got back into it all. So no im going back and playing all those games i always should have.

I still cant work out why halo is so great. But eh... maybe that was just a generation gap thing i missed out on from not gaming so much.

---

Gee Greenslade [Link to www.missgee.net]

Halo isn't great, its a generic FPS. Its just the Xbox kiddies who've never played a half-decent FPS before that started worshipping it.

CoD4, Half-Life Series, even Goldeneye 64 beat it senseless.

im glad someone else finds it utterly useless. hahaha.

I need to play half life. I totally sort of just managed to side step playing it. I will... oh i will

---

Gee Greenslade [Link to www.missgee.net]

It may be hard to play now, since the graphics are way old.

But half life 2 is still amazing.

Your talking to the woman who just managed to finish banjo kazooie on a scratched up old gameboy advance. ha ha. Ill play anything if it means im amused for a few hours.

---

Gee Greenslade [Link to www.missgee.net]

Yeah half life 1 is veeeeery long though. Before the time when games were just churned out as quickly as possible.

You will enjoy it though
