I answered swiftly: “It depends of your own artistic view, after all, the best blog for a fashion photographer is different than the one for a wedding photographer”.<br />
But I still promised that I&#8217;ll do a post with my own favorites! And I think in a future post I&#8217;ll write about my favorites websites too.<br />
So here we go:</p>
<p><strong>Blogs I check almost everyday:</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today while I was editing photos of my last shooting I had so much difference between what I was seeing on my macbook, my cintiq 12WX and my Samsung  SynMaster T260 monitor, that I decided to try to calibrate all my monitors using the<strong> eye-one display 2</strong>.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-88" title="eyeoneplusmacbook" src="http://www.oliviermonteux.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/eyeoneplusmacbook.jpg" alt="eyeoneplusmacbook" width="240" height="193" /></p>
<p>I first tried the normal way with the software offered with the eye-one  : Match 3, the result weren’t really good on the macbook, so I decided to try the demo version of <strong>ColorEyes Display Pro</strong>, a software I heard of on some forums.   After one hour , all I had was a blank screen and nothing I could do… Had to connect another monitor so I could change the profile… not a really good experience!</p>
<p>So I tried again <strong>Eye-One Match 3</strong> with some advanced settings thanks to the blog <a href="http://www.questionsphoto.com/article/197-calibrer-un-ecran-normes-iso-et-autres-preconisations" target="_blank">questionsphoto.com</a> (In French) and this time I finally got some great colors on my macbook !  Settings: White point D65, Gamma 2.2, Luminance 110cd/m² with less ambient light.</p>
<p>With 4 hours lost in total I don’t think I’ll try again calibrating with Coloreyes display pro, too much things to do  but I would love to explore this software more since it’s supposed to be the top maybe I just did something wrong in the setup.<br />
<em>Update:  ok on the website of integrated color they say there is a lot of problems with Mac OSX 10.5.6 (what I use as you expect) … Need to wait for the next version before I can really evaluate this software.</em></p>
