    I know I prefer the one on the right. I tend to prefer shots with brighter, more saturated colours. I would guess from the conversation that it is the one that has been done on a calibrated monitor.

    This is so weird ... I just DO NOT LIKE the way my monitor now shows colors. To boot, most of the images I am looking at on this forum are loosing their appeal as well, so I am really really wondering about the Huey. After calibration there is a screen with a protrait of a woman ... and you can chose before and after ... and let me tell you, that protrait looks washed out in the greys and blacks .... really frustrating.

    But you are right, the image on the right is the one done after the calibration, and I have to say it looks nicer on my screen. But somehow I do not like the way the rest of the screen looks now .. maybe I have to get used to it ... what have your experiences been with calibration?

    Certainly sounds weird Matt. My suggestion is take it back and buy one you can trust.

    Never calibrated mine so I'm afraid I don't have any advice.

    On my desktop monitor the one on the left looks like it needs a very slight amount of contrast while the one on the right looks artificial. The skin tones especially look wrong. On my laptop the one on the left is a bit more noticeably washed out, though not horrible, and the one on the right looks fairly close to right, especially the skin tones. Neither screen is calibrated.

    I've looked into calibrating hardware a little bit, because it's on my wish list. The general impression I got was that with the Huey you got what you paid for. Don't know if that's helpful or not.

    This is exactly how it appears on my calibrated monitor. But keep in mind monitors are different and very few are meant for photography. Most are multipurpose and too bright. But if the image looks better, that's good for sure. Just as an FYi the colours/contrast on a calibrated monitor will likely look duller after calibration.It does take some getting used to.

    Indeed, and another thing i noticed: when i scroll, balck text seems to turn slightly red. Maybe it is the monitor...I am going to try the Spider 3 Pro, methinks, and then see ... at twice the money .. oh well

    Well, the HUEY went back to the vendor. So now I am going to try a Spider 3 Pro next .. once I find one reasonably priced

    I had trouble with some redness appearing in one of my monitors yesterday. It appeared to be going out of calibration within a day. I pulled the graphic card out, cleaned it and reseated it and so far it seems good again. Not saying you have the same issue.

    It is my understanding that most people have their monitors too bright so when they are calibrated they are made darker (and that's what happened to me when I calibrated my monitor)

    Therefore you will probably up the brightness on the photo edit to make it look right.

    With that logic I would say the brighter one (the one on the left) would be the one after calibration.
