Photo Enthusiasts
You are not a professional, but are an avid photographer. You own a 2 or 3 mega-pixel digital camera, have a PC or MAC at home with a photo-realistic printer, and are comfortable using entry level image editing software like Adobe Photoshop Elements.

You've been making prints from your digital files and are not satisfied with the color quality or with the amount of trial and error it takes to get them right. You're not sure if its something you're doing wrong or if there's some sort of incompatibility among your camera, your computer, your printer, your software, or all of the above.

You may have heard or read about color management and calibration before, but you are not a color guru, and frankly, these concepts kind of intimidate you. You just want to make your prints match what you see on your monitor without a lot of effort, and feel that you have some control over the process.

If this sounds like you, may we recommend:
GEU102150.gif Spyder™ - will calibrate your monitor so you can be sure that the images you are viewing on your monitor have accurate color. This is the first most important step in getting control of your color. If you are using your printer supplier's ink and papers, this might be all you need.
