- monica
- is a Monitor Calibration Tool.
-
An easy way to get respectable color rendetion on your screen. Especially important to get a reasonable overall gamma setting, to make sure the basic
brightness
of your screen jibes with what others see... (the Internet sRGB standard gamma of 2.2)
monica uses FLTK (Fast-Light Toolkit - www.fltk.org)There is also a
parallel
build called GAMMApage I wrote using Python/GTK, and is here.See screenshot is below. You can use the color bars to ensure a decent color gradient. The 2.2 gamma image is part of one by Norman Koren, who has a very helpful website regarding photography (and monitor calibration) at: http://www.normankoren.com.
Get that image to look as uniform grey as possible and you should be in good shape.
