After the perils of the borrowed Monaco and the purchase of a Spyder2 I was just wondering if you could do me favour and check colour & contrast etc on this page for me.

It looks good to me but that's NOTHING to go by :frown: :eek: :biggrin:

So if it displays okay can you let me know :toast:

Regards

Andy

The buzzard in flight looks a little low on contrast but the following woodpecker looks fine,so I'd suspect this is just down to post processing rather than a calibration issue.
On the whole I'd say colour and contrast look fine.

Did you get the return email I sent?

Yes I did thanks Justin - pardon my ignorance mate, just checked and I could have sworn I'd emailed you back to say tar - but I can see I havn't :redface: :redface:

So a belated thanks - sorry about that :wavey: :wavey:

No problem,just didn't know if it had got through and I didn't want you to think I'd not replied.

I'll take the buz shot out - that was taken with the D2xs at isoH2 (3200) in HSC mode - all the others look okay do they then :wavey: :wavey:

HI Andy

Colour balance looks fine on my calibrated CRT.

Also looks very nice on my cheap and nasty LCD.

Maybe a fraction more contrast on some images (canada goose in flight, mouse/rat thingy) but it is only slight and a PhotoShop issue rather than a monitor calibration problem.

cheers
