Monitor Calibration
The best way is to go the whole colour calibration/ fully colour managed workflow route but that sounds as if it isn't what you want.
gwing - may also try that
Betty -
I have a little Huey that seems to do the job, keeps flashing at me like the red light on the front of kit, which is geeky
A liitle Huey? a small helicopter or a euphemism?
Joking aside - sorry no idea what a liitle Huey is and a quick web search did not help.

The Huey is a small calibration device that plugs into the USB socket and calibrates your monitor and also continually adjusts it according to the ambient light.....costs around 50 quid.
I've had mine for years - from the stone age when it would stick to the CRT glass with its little rubber sucker cups. I only have the pleb version as in those days I could but aspire to the Huey Pro
There are many of these monitor calibration devices about - since there isn't anything to wear out a secondhand one from eBay might be a good buy. Well worth having one.
It calibrates the screen then keeps things in order, its a good little thing Mate, well worth the money.
Have a look here Mate.

CRIKEY! They've gone up a bit...105 pounds? I paid 49.99 for mine

I paid £34 for mine, shop about! The link was just to show which Huey I was using/talking about

For reasons I do not fully comprehend, my better half believes that keeping food fresh and cleaning crockery take priority over editing images etc leaving limited funds for a new monitor.
Anyway - managed to get an excellent deal from a local independent on a 24" HD Samsung S24B150BL Monitor. Have to say for a monitor at the low end of the price range - I am very impressed.
The only issue is - calibration. It comes with a calibration disk and after several attempts to calibrate it using the software - I am not happy with the results - particularly in LR4 - I seem to get a greenish cast on light areas - cloud - steam etc.
Has anybody successfully used Samsung calibration software? Does anybody have any calibration tips that do not involve further expenditure or a degree in astrophysics to use?
Any help/ advice gratefully received!
