This is a topic that comes up often, and one that people really seem to fluster over. They really want their work to look great, and just aren’t sure how to handle their color. It and understandable concern, but there are fairly simple precautions to take to make sure you get accurate color, and make those photo’s look their very best.

The first and foremost thing to remember is to make sure you monitor is calibrated. Computer monitors vary quite a lot, and actually change the color they display over time. Even when just sitting on your desk.
For this reason you need to calibrate your motor fairly regularly. I try to do it once every month or two, and more often will certainly not hurt. Even if you get the pictures to look great on your screen, you may be unpleasantly surprised at how they look when you, (or a client) get them back from the lab and find that the vivid glory that graced your image is suddenly gone.
