![]() To check color samples or to calibrate a printer, you’ll need to remove the ColorMunki Photo from this case.Īs I mentioned before, the most prominent feature of the ColorMunki Photo is the dial that sets the sensor to one of four positions. This case and lanyard combination allows you to hang the ColorMunki Photo on your screen without having to hold the device or move your screen into some crazy position. Included with the ColorMunki Photo is a case with a weighted lanyard. Oh well, just something to remember before you get started. You think the software would shoot you an error before the process even started. You don’t get a warning until the very last screen in the calibration process. I unsuccessfully tried 3 times to calibrate my monitor before I realized that the door was closed. Unfortunately, the software doesn’t warn you at the beginning if the door is closed. One warning about this door is that it obviously needs to be open to get a reading. It’s best to keep the door closed when not in use to avoid dust and grime from getting in the device. On the bottom of the ColorMunki Photo is a sliding door which reveals the sensor. Around the button is a large dial which is used to turn the sensor to each of the ColorMunki’s four positions. There is a large button on the side which is used to trigger a reading from the device when calibrating or taking a color sample. It’s well made and feels very solid in your hand. The ColorMunki Photo is an odd looking device but it’s form is what makes it easy to use. What’s In the Box?īelow is a list of what’s included with the ColorMunki Photo: The ColorMunki Photo claims it can get your prints to match your images with ease. For the photographers that do print at home, getting what you see on your screen to match what you get from your printer can often be challenging. The i1 Display2 can only profile screens which is fine for me because I don’t print at home. It does a great job profiling my laptop and desktop display and more importantly, it’s easy to use. I have been using the X-Rite i1 Display 2 (shown above) for a few years now and I love the product. Well, X-Rite has a product out on the market that can supposedly profile your screen/project and printer with ease and it’s called the ColorMunki Photo. I simply want to shoot, edit and print without any drama or surprises. ![]() I would say that I am a geek at heart and I generally like technology and gadgets, but I find color correction and color management to be rather dry. While photography is awesome and I love creating and editing photos, there are a few aspects of this job/hobby/art that aren’t exactly sexy or fun and for me, color management is one of them.
