I generally work on two monitors at the same time, when I work on my computer, and as time goes by you find that the colour on the two monitors diverges radically – in other words, there is a substantial difference in colour between the various monitors.

Colour calibration, as it is known, is something that is normally quite intimidating for most people, and I found very useful was a programme or a device which consists of a light monitor and software, called Colormunki. Essentially, what you do with Colormunki is to load the software, and once you’ve done that, you perform a number of tests as to the ambient light in the room where you are using the computer and then put the device on your computer screen where it runs through a number of tests and testing the various colours before giving you a before and after setting, which shows you how your computer was indicating colours, and how it is now showing those colours. That is very important for me because I do spend quite a bit of time working on my wildlife photography photographs, not to mention golfing photographs and family photographs, and when you are changing colour settings on photographs it hardly helps if you are doing so on the basis of a setting that is incorrect. In other words, if your monitor is showing pictures much darker than they actually are, it does not help to lighten them if you are basing all of this on an incorrect monitor profile in the first place. It is quite astounding how the colour on your monitor change with time, and my one monitor was substantially darker than it should have been.
