What’s This All About?

The Pantone Huey is a useful piece of kit combined with a software program that allows you to accurately calibrate the color display of your monitor. This calibration means that you will see images and in particular your photos with accurate color rendition. What’s more the Huey and combined software will automatically adjust the display based on the room lighting conditions.

Why Would You Want It?

Accurately setting the colours, contrast and brightness of your monitor is practically impossible with the naked eye. If you want to see digital images and in particular your photographs as they actually are then accurate calibration is a necessity. If you use digital editing software to change or enhance your images then it is very important you work with accurate settings in order to achieve the desired results. This is even more important if you are then going to print the enhanced images.

I bought a Huey about 12 months ago and I am still amazed at how different the true settings are for my monitors compared to those I have set by eye. The results, particularly where I am printing photos to display or send to relatives make the Huey a worthwhile investment.
