WHATS THE COLOUR OF MY MUNKI?

Just been playing with Work’s new X-rite ColorMunki on my iMac and 24″ BENQ connected to my PC. So far I got to say I like it. I makes up for what seems like all most all the short comings of the Display One while not limited the user in too heavily. I like how it can use ambient light readings to chose a suitable brightness for the display.

However personally I found its love for low values of 80 cd/m2 to be just way to low. After a little reading it seems fooling it with a desktop lamp to “simulate” viewing conditions as posed to working conditions allow me to set the brightness higher then limited 80 to 140 that’s only present from the main screen. Tomorrow it will be test chart building time for the two Epson Stylus Pro 4800.

For $600 this device will profile screens, printers and projectors.

MY GOD! IT’S FULL OF (RED) STARS!

COUGHING FITS OF JOY

After three long days of battling the flu (witch still now lingers in my body) I have finally completed grading the first assignments. Come the end of the ordeal I think I was starting to see things thanks to the high temperatures of my illness. Hopefully no one was rewarded a mark that was too harsh or too embellishing of what they should have gotten.

The first Photograph shows all the assignments the day I got them. The next image was taken hours before finishing marking. The box on the left is the ones I’ve got left to do mark. The last photo is of my replacement motherboard.

ALL WORK & NO PLAY…

At the start of last week I start my new job tutoring out at the university. I tutor first year students enrolled in Pt1110 Introduction to Digital Imaging. The subject is open to all students at the university not just photography students. This means there are people of varying degrees of skill. So far they all seem keen and baring some token “trouble makers” they all seem great and eager to learn.

Also I started work at my second new job this weekend. So far two days a week I work as a lab operator at one of the local Camera stores here in town. I’m in training and while every thing is straight forward it’s just a matter of getting into the swing of things. If the uni don’t offer me more work come the end of the semester then it’s to become my primary means of work.
