[Noisebridge-discuss] Display color calibration tool at 83c

[Rubin Abdi]

Hello Noisebridgers.

A few months ago after pulling my hair trying to get colors on my 
display match up with colors on photos I got printed at a lab, I opted 
to buy a color calibration tool. It's simply a tiny usb camera in a 
housing meant to sit on top of your monitor wile a small bit of software 
displays different colors. The recorded colors get compared and the 
thing generates a color profile for you to use on your system.

The thing isn't perfect and accurate 100%, additionally all displays 
can't be perfectly calibrated. There's also the fact that with LCDs you 
must always have the same lighting conditions and viewing angle for true 
calibration.

This device currently lives at 83c, and will continue to live there 
until I return from my trip in about a week. If you're running Windows 
or Mac (I'll shit gold if someone running *nix gives a rats ass about 
how red their reds are) and would like to calibrate your display at 
Noisebridge, please drop me an email asking so and I'll let you know 
where this device lives, how to correctly use it and where to put it 
back once you are done.

Once again if you'd like to use this thing, you must email me and get 
permission before digging around for it, as it's my own tool and not 
property of Noisebridge. Thanks!
