![]() The hardware, too, is solid and feels built to last. It’s easy to use and the results are good. The software, while not particularly Mac-like in appearance, works fine. What’s more, there is a lot of stuff you don’t need, such as a picture sharing application and the rather mysterious Color Munki Photo Try, which launches at startup and has no options or menu items. ColorMunki puts them in both the Application Support folder (a big no-no) and also inside the Library folder - the root one, not the user one. Applications should be in the applications folder. The installer puts files all over the place. UPDATE: After searching for the link to post here, I found a different page which does have the uninstaller. There is a download page hidden away on the X-Rite website, but the link doesn’t lead to a file. Worse, there is no uninstaller for the Mac. This is a review, so it’s not a big deal for me, but in a pro-environment, where you might calibrate your monitors weekly, it would be impossible. I figured that maybe I could install the software, use it and then uninstall it. I recently moved to a new apartment and dug out the ColorMunki to check it out again. There is no way to make this go away short of uninstalling the application. I'm going to keep playing around with it, but. It took all of 5-10 minutes to learn how to use this. Did a quick search for a How-To video on Youtube and. (Installed it again as there was an update.) Took a picture. I opened up the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Photo today. Now to clean up the studio and try it out!!! LOL. I finally picked up the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Photo yesterday. I figured since I was thinking of getting the Colorchecker Passport Photo, I might as well stick to one brand for my colour calibration equipment. It seems like a great way to save time getting more accurate colour. And is a regular at our local camera club.Īnd the other reason I got the X-Rite is that I was thinking that I would eventually get the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Photo for the studio shots I take with monolights. I got the X-Rite as well because one of the guys I asked about calibrators is an X-Rite Coloratti expert. (No ink to dry up.) so my daughters can print out colour pictures and tape them into their projects for school. Instead I got a Canon Selphy CP-1300 that can print out 4圆 prints with thermo transfer. I do not print at home enough so my inkjet printer kept drying up, so I stopped having an inkjet printer at home. I am wondering if that model can be used to calibrate your inkjet printer. I didn't look too closely at the higher end model. The other thing that the Display does (but I have no need for) is that it can be used to calibrate a projector? I don't believe the Smile will offer that feature. But my cellphone does not support that feature. I believe the Colormunki Display can eventually be used to calibrate cellphones. And it happened to be the model that had a good sale on it that someone pointed out. I got the X-Rite Colormunki Display because it was the middle model and I could afford it. ![]() But is there a big difference between the smile and the display versions in terms of hardware? (I will be using displaycal for software). ![]() I want to get the Colormunki smile as it's cheap. However, I'm confused as to which product to get as there are so many variations and so many mixed reviews. I am in need of a calibrator as I no longer trust my macbook screen. I am actually thinking of taking the next step and getting the X-Rite Colorchecker this year to close up the loop.ĭo you have a calibrator or planning to get one? It has saved me so much time, headaches and money. I also print yearbooks for the clubs my daughters are part of and I feel a lot better sending the artwork off to the printer having edited and viewed the artwork on a colour calibrated monitor. I send to a trade printer, so I called them up and asked for the printer profile for the paper I print to and I have that loaded into Lightroom so I can do a soft proof of what it will look like. It's so easy to set it up and let it calibrate the monitor. I find this device extremely useful! I do not do any editing without it anymore. Hey, how did you find using the colormunki over the years? Do you still use it? I got a bit more input from a fellow photographer here in my home town.Īnd decided to get the Colormunki Display.Īnd someone else helped me find an awesome deal on it. I just wanted to drop a line and thank everyone for their input and help! I'm really tempted to get the Datacolor Spyder5 Express, as it is only ~$150 or so.Īny suggestions, insight greatly appreciated. What would be the reasons to choose one over the other. The 2 that have been suggested that are in my budget are the Datacolor Spyder5 or the X-Rite Colormunki Display. ![]() I'm looking at getting a calibration tool. I was hoping to get some input on which way to go. ![]()
