Well first of all: Not all software is color managed. But anyway, I don't understand why you can't just calibrate with your Spyder then. It will give you the result you want...

Hi Calibrating your monitor is quite easy with a hardware calibration tool. Be aware that such a tool is never just for a one time use. You need to recalibrate your monitors each month or so... If calibration is a new subject for you, I recommend you this eBook as a good crash course...

Hello If you want them to match, you need to calibrate with a monitor calibration hardware. I use a Spyder4. This is a sensor which will measure the colors of your screen and create a correction profile for your graphic card.

Have you calibrated your monitor correctly? I mean with a calibration tool like Spyder4 or so? Because otherwhise you can't expect to have a correct color management automatically...

That is the reason why photographers and designers calibrate their monitors with a hardware calibration tool (Spyder4, etc.) :-)

What do you calibrate your monitor for? To get more or less good colours or the have a reliable view? Calibrating with the windows calibration tool is calibrating with your eyes, and your eyes perceive the colors in relation to the ambient light conditions. So for absolute correct colors, you...

All new monitors tend to be to bright, with too much contrast and too high saturated. This sells better, but these aren't correct colours. So a first option is one of these charts like the lagom chart. A further step if you want to have reliable colors would be calibrating with a hardware tool...

To save money, I opted for the Spyder4Pro. Let me explain why: Spyder4Pro is the cheapest colorimeter with an ambient light sensor. If you calibrate without ambient light compensation, only the colors will be linearized and the black and white levels (contrast, brightness) won't be corrected...

Hi there, For monitor calibration I use a Spyder4Elite myself. My colors look the same on two different monitors. There could be some technical and some natural reasons for them to be different even after calibrating. It is very recommendable to use such a calibration tool, given that a...
