Essentially, these systems also have a sensor built into the front of the unit, and will adjust your monitor's brightness depending on your environment. However, another incredible and important feature among these systems is the ambient light readout. What you're left with is accurate colors and brightness to insure your prints look just like your monitor output. This will read the output from your monitor based on color and brightness, and adjust them when needed. The general use of these systems is to attach them to your monitor, and run a series of diagnostic software. While both of these system do virtually the same thing, I've never had experience with the ColorMunki personally. ![]() There are two main brands of screen calibration software - The Datacolor Spyder system and the X-Rite ColorMunki. Suddenly all of my photos that I thought were beautiful turned out to be really dark, and really orange in color. It wasn't until I finally borrowed a screen calibration system that I learned how important the tool really was. I wasn't printing my work, so I had really no idea how my photos looked to others. For the first 3 years of my photography career, I was working on an uncalibrated monitor. First, I stand on the "It's exceptionally important" side of the coin. ![]()
