If you’re doing any kind of ‘for print’ creative work, it’s important to calibrate your monitor so that what you see on screen is what you see on paper.

Calibrize is a new freeware app that’s designed to help you “calibrate the colors of your monitor in three simple steps. Just download the software and follow the procedure to generate a reliable color ‘profile’ and adjust the colors of your monitor automatically.”

Are you ready to Calibrize?

The brightness and contrast setting procedure work fine as described for CRT monitors, but LCD's (like my laptop) need a different procedure if they don't have external brightness & contrast adjustments.

I had to tweak brightness and contrast manually using the advanced settings of my video card. It would help if there were a static shot somewhere of what the image should look like, rather than just a description.

Note: I'm using a PC, YMMV.

Typically LCD's are harder to calibrate (from what I've heard) so it wouldn't surprise me if it's not as easy as a CRT. However, even if you can't get it perfect, getting closer with something like Calibrize does help quite a bit.
