color correction on uncalibrated or bad color monitor

[jainender kumar]

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

Sorry, couldn't resist

 

[Erik]

[Alistair]

[wbiss]

Alistair!

Nobody is arguing your ability to speak more than one language Alistair! As Erik has pointed out, the written language differs greatly from the oral one...

I truly admire and applaud anyone who can speak more than one language... so my congrats go out to you! :} :} :}

[confused] Of that A+++, where does your "English" mark fall? [:I

[confused] And I'm wondering why they don't teach spelling in school these days???

 

[Alistair]

You're really convinced I know six languages? [stuned] We dont have english, we have language arts, and all we do is very little grammar You are really convinced I can speak six languages, huh??? Sry. I made you think I was someone im not wendy!!! : http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en

[honesty]

You are to nice though :\ You know what? I could make someone think im like bll gate's son and like act like I know 10 languages and can also write them, and I own psg handbook or something [excited] I could fix my hair up like marks after 2 years... or I could use photoshop to put his hair onto my head [excited]

I'd never do such a thing [innocent] [innocent] [innocent] Now im just cracking myself up [stuned] [saywhat]

 

[Guest]

Of that A+++, where does your "English" mark fall?

I was just going to ask that

If you ask me... his was report card was manipulated in Photoshop and I believe that now even more!

 

[wbiss]

Alistair! You're really convinced I know six languages?

I really convinced you that you convinced me Alistair? [confused]

What I am convinced of Alistair, is that there are some great language translation sites out there!

Gaussian: If you ask me... his was report card was manipulated in Photoshop and I believe that now even more!

Well stated. I read this in a linguistics book once...it makes a very keen statement. And by the way, when people help as much as Erik does, maybe its not the best thing to point out his picayune spelling errors.
