I dubiously opened the package, half expecting to be bombarded with a box covered in buzzwords and promises to make my screen come alive with colour! Thankfully there was none of that, just a simple straight to the point statement; “Get the most from your monitor”. Okay, so this is starting well, I thought.

Colour management doesn’t feature in many photographers’ workflow and quite frankly they’re missing out. Calibrating your monitor is an essential first step; viewing images with accurate colour can save you hours of photo-editing that often result in grisly prints (featuring your portrait subject with glowing orange fake Tan-Go skin tones).

Are you tired of printing and hit-or-miss editing the same images multiple times in an attempt to get one good print? This hour long webinar will show you how to put a color workflow in place from image capture all the way through image editing and printer output.

Fortunately the new SpyderCube is neither a Spiderman themed Rubik’s cube nor a Halloween offering from OXO: It’s the ultimate white balance tool for every photographer who loves accurate colour.

ColorMunki create colour control and creation tools for digital workflow and their workforce of ColorMunki-ites were all over the halls of Photokina promoting the MacBeth Colour Checker Chart, a checkerboard array of 24 scientifically prepared coloured squares that enable you to portray accurate representation in your photos. To support this promotion, ColorMunki are running a competition: Where in the world is your ColorChecker?
