Yup do calibrate... works marvellous... I develop a lot of pictures and they actually now look what I wanted to print!

Everyone has to calibrate.
If you do not calibrate you are not serious about your hobby/work.

op here adding to the questions, do you use CRT or LCD or plasma or a combination?

calibration is essential to the professional photographer. Without color management skills you don't have anything but an expensive camera and a monkey behind the shutter.

I've calibrated this as well I can using the rather poor by sight calibration that macs come with. I reprocess everything I print on the school computer that has been calibrated though.

I really need to calibrate my laptop's screen. It's a pre-LED MacBook Pro, so supposedly it's a pain in the ass.

This is relevent to my interests.

What calibration tools are recommended for a student budget, ie poor fag?

Few things. CRT is the only thing right now that can be truly color calibrated. Trinitron monitors are especially nice for even color (although the lines piss most people off) LCD's can be adjusted, but not truly calibrated since they generally only offer limited incriments, and even nice onces can't reproduce all the colors of your CRT's. They do get close though, so if your eyes aren't that color sensitive and you don't have a woman or gay man for a client, a nice LCD is passable.
Remember, you need to calibrate for your whole work flow. Calibrate your monitor AND set up a profile for whatever printer it goes to so what you see is what you get.
If you happen to be gay (or a woman), you can do it by eye alone without any hardware. There are lots of freebies (use google) or the little nvidia thinggy. It is NOT under color calibration. It is under nvidia control pannel > run display optimization wizzard .

Apple has much better (as long as your desktop background is 20%grey) and simpler software built in with native color profiles which is one reason graphic designers love to hump macs.

PS. For true color work, half hour warm up on CRTs

colour calibration shouldn't be done unless you really know what you are doing and you really have a reason for it. ken rockwell explains it all on his site. lol

Calibration is a MUST, but that has already been covered many times,

I got bored of re-doing it so i have presets saved for my favorite colour lab and fave black and white lab.

because gay people are good with colors, duh. Taste the rainbow and all that crap.

I bet you faggots saying colour calibration is a must only calibrate once a week or something, and don't adjust if lighting in the room changes.

Women have better hardware than men for colour
Gays have better wetware(lul) than straight men for colour
