try this test by X-rite, it may flag up some colour balance issues or colour blindness you didn't know you had :smile:

It said "You have perfect color vision!", does a calibrated monitor make a difference I wonder.

:cool:

Scored 4 :wink: ... but I guess a calibrated display helps a bit, along with a colour aware browser :biggrin:.

I only managed 8 but was using an uncalibrated works LCD :frown:


clearly calibration of your monitor/screen helps considerably :biggrin:

blimey, I only managed 44! My monitor isn't calibrated but I also know I'm colour blind to an extent, particularly when it comes to differentiating certain pairs of colours (particularly yellows/greens and purples/blues). Perhaps I should shoot in black and white :biggrin:

Better than I expected, I scored 4 :smile:

Very interesting. I assume monitors make a difference, but as with cameras them selves its who's behind it! I had 24 on a newish laptop - tired eyes I hope as there's some good scores above.

I managed a 4. Using Firefox browser, and a colour managed monitor.

Presumably Danielle with the highest score bears out the male/female differences.

"perfect" :jump: No need to spend money on calibration stuff then?! - I'm sure there's more to it though. Very interesting.
