Calibrate Your Monitor with Screen Check [Monitors]

Calibrate your monitors for consistent tone and color with web site Screen Check. The site displays two bars, one white-to-black for adjusting tone and the other covers the red/green/blue spectrum for adjusting color. Just follow the Screen Check instructions and by the end you should have a reasonably well calibrated monitor. My Dell comes with a very similar built-in calibration tool, but if your monitor doesn't, Screen Check is worth a look.
Is 10 or 12 megapixels just not enough for you? Looking for something with a little more resolution? How about 160MP? That’s what the new Seitz D3 6 x 17 is packing. The 4.5 lb camera takes 60 x 170 mm images with 7,500 x 21,250 pixel resolution. An uncompressed file is just under a gig in size and the thing is so nasty that it functions through a little tablet PC attached to the back. Pretty sweet. I’m thinking this is probably the logical step up from the 1MP HP digital camera I’ve been rocking for nine years now. Unfortunately the $44,414 pricetag made me throw up and soil my pants at the same time.
