Some research followed and I ended up with Datacolor&#8217;s Spyder 4 Pro Colorimeter &#8211; a USB-connected device that calibrates the color profile used by my screens (with an installed application on the computer).<\/p>\n<p>Couldn&#8217;t be simpler to use &#8211; start the program, connect the thing and hang it so its sensor is in the sweet spot and let it go (it&#8217;ll prompt you to do it again periodically (I do mine every six months)). I&#8217;m sure professionals with these things (and fancier versions) can get really into the details of hard-core corrections, but just my half-assed, passive let-it-run approach has made the whole on-line experience much better.<\/p>\n<p>And if you put any effort at all into your digital imagery, I think this is a relatively small price to pay (in the big picture) to get a new level of confidence that what you create has a better chance of being seen as you intend.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Automatically calibrate your computer&#8217;s display<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25824"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25824"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25824\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25826,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25824\/revisions\/25826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
