Hi mark, thanks a lot for this video. Can you explain hot to calibrate calibrate the entire digitial workflow, from monitor to printer?

I have the same problem of "peckerdecker": the color on paper is always different from monitor! Help us!

Buy a calibrator for monitor, calibrate it. Buy Colorchecker passport and calibrate your camera. Buy a calibrator for your printer, calibrate it. For each of them create a profile.

Be sure you create a profile for each illuminant in which you will shoot, work and view your prints.

Also, be sure your printer and your monitor are good enough, because calibration doesnt make your equipment better, just take them to a standard.

Hi Mark - What is the point of getting acurate white balance and colors, if you adjust them (warm them up, or cool them) according to your taste, in the end?

The best instructor on youtube HANDS DOWN! I have learned so much! Now I have to buy a color checker.

Mark, your instruction is a lot better than X-Rite. They should learn from you.

Started using this a couple weeks ago after watching and it's making a big difference in post. A little cumbersome having to restart LR afterwards but it saves a lot of time. Recommendation for replacement is two years as the colors will fade. Maybe sooner if you use it outdoors a lot

Hello Mark,

Could you also demo using the same (X-Rite ColorChecker passport) with Aperture 3.2?

Thank you.

Question: Whats the expiration time for the colors on the ColorChecker? UV light will shift the calibrated colors a little over time. Anyone have any advice on that?
