huey pro

I just got in my new huey pro. What is it? A color calibration tool for my computer screen. The huey measures the ambient light in the room and adjusts to the reflected light on my screen. In other words, it allows me to see the purest and most accurate colors possible- which is so important, considering that I am constantly dealing with different skin tones and lighting environments in my photography.

I took a screenshot of my screen before calibration:

and here it is after:
It is a warmer cast now and I will be able to see a difference in the quality of my prints. Now the huey will measure the light every hour or so and adjust the screen to the changing light environment- pretty cool!
