Datacolor claimed that their new SpyderX is the "fastest and easiest way to color calibrate a monitor." I'll be the judge of that. After two days of trying, I decided to wipe my entire computer and install a fresh version of Windows. Since that day, I have sworn that I would never attempt to calibrate a monitor again.ĭatacolor recently reached out and asked Fstoppers to create a video about color calibration, and my team thought it would be funny if I was the one who had to do it. I tried to uninstall the calibration software. My photos looked totally different in Photoshop, Windows Explorer, and my web browser. I tried to delete the color profile.
To make matters worse, the "calibration" wasn't even consistent throughout different applications. I purchased a monitor calibrator, and after about 30 minutes, my newly "calibrated" monitor looked worse than it did before. Occasionally, I would print my photos, and I was always annoyed that my prints didn't look as good as they did on my monitor. It was a disaster.Ī few years before I started Fstoppers, I was a wedding photographer.
I once tried to color calibrate my monitor.
