Hi All,
I hope I can beg someone's indulgence and ask for opinions on the 2 images attached.
I have recently purchased a new monitor and a Spyder 3 calibration gizmo and am a bit confused regarding the results I'm getting on the new set up. Image A was simply processed through Adobe Camera RAW on my old monitor and image B was done using my new calibrated monitor.
So my question is which looks better as both look good on their respective monitors but look awful on their alternatives. Can I ask for any opinions. I know that they might look different on other monitors but am just seeking alternative opinions on the results. They are subtle differences I know but I am looking to achieve a result that will produce 'true' images for the web and perhaps print.
Also, perhaps someone can explain (simply) what is actually achieved by calibrating a monitor.
Thanks.
