color correction on uncalibrated or bad color monitor

jainender kumar · 06-09-2003, 06:40 PM

hi,

Please tell me how to do color correct the images after equalizing the darkest and lightest point of image on uncalibrated monitor or bad color monitor.

Thanks

The only correct answer is that you cannot. How can you measure a waight when you have no reference?

Best thing is to calibrate the monitor as good as possible. This isn't that hard to do. But you do need True Colors (millions of colors).

There are three important items: the darkest value must be black, the lightest must be pure white, and then the way the intermediate values behave, aka the gamma must be set.
When you go to the main section of this site, there is an item 'calibrate your monitor". It leads you to a website with lots of tools to use.

Yet: if the minitor does not display correctly the Red, Green and Blue, I suppose you will have to use the Adobe Gamma Utility.

What kind of comp do you use? And what software? And what monitor? Perhaps we can tell more when we know a bit more.

I agree with Erik; make sure that you calibrate your monitor, because otherwise everything else is nothing but a big guess
