October and November of last year were the busiest I’ve experienced ever. I was fortunate, particularly in light of what so many others are experiencing in the current state of our economy. I spent most of December playing catch up with business matters and other marketing efforts.

Enough of my excuses, how about I show some work.

Stand by … see following posts.

I recently put a less-than-great-monitor on a second machine and could not believe the awful quality of imagery I was seeing. There was no way I could edit any photography with this monitor. It’d be like looking through a green gel at everything.

I made a noble attempt to correct the issue with the display controls but I was honestly shooting in the dark. I’m no engineer. I don’t know the precise physics of light and color and LCDs.

Today I am much happier as I pulled out the Datacolor Spyer 3 which has been my consistent tool of good measure for my high-dollar monitors. Amazingly, in a few minutes I was able to follow the onscreen instructions and get this tired monitor into a decent state of being.

Now, I still don’t trust this display to do my photo editing and color correcting but at least I’m not seeing green all the time now.

So, hats off once again to a useful little tool which has been well worth the price. Now I wonder how awful other people’s displays are … does my work look green to you?
