  1. Unfortunately, based on attending a previous “how-to” webinar by these two companies, this is little more than a product-webinar, to try and sell you on Datacolor’s new products.

    Fortunately, this time they are much more honest about the intent of the webinar.

    Attended “Monitor Calibration Finally Explained” in June 2010. It was nothing more than a review of Datacolor’s current products. They did have a chat section in which attendees could write in questions. I was most disappointed when the answers were rife with misinformation (e.g. photographers should only shoot in JPEG, should only shoot in sRGB, as the web and commercial photo printers, like MPix, only print in sRGB). If questions seemed a little too difficult for either the chat responders, or the webinar hosts, you were told to contact technical support (e.g. how to use the Spyder calibrators to reduce brightness, or cd/m2, to more closely match paper brightness). One would think that a webinar on monitor calibration would cover this topic.

    I wrote in, both during the seminar, and afterwards, and never received any sort of acknowledgement.

    While I understand that there are situations where a photographer may choose to shoot in JPEG-only, I do not understand limiting the amount of colors to work with. And it is unwise for Datacolor to assume that all photographers only shoot for the web, or for prints. If this were true, there would be no need for Eizo-like monitors that attempt to cover the AdobeRGB gamut.
