Pat Wrote:Many thanks Polly - I have printed this info out and am about to download Spyder
Pat - the Spyder system I use isn't downloadable software. It's a gizmo that is attached, by suction. to my CRT screen, or rests flat against my laptop screen. the software that comes with it then calibrates the screens by measuring a series of coloured squares.
http://tinyurl.com/ytzum2 Here's a link to their website and you shoud be able to buy it from any good online camera/photography source. There are other systems, such as "Huey" but I've never tried anything else so I can't really comment on them.
Spyder2 that I use has come down in price since I bought mine so it probably won't be too expensive.
I dunno anything about the online print services in Oz but maybe Julian, Jamie or Christian could help with that one. There may also be comparative reviews in Aussie photography magazines?
The service I use has all sorts of advice on their website, so the chances are there'll be an Aussie web service with similar help and advice about resolution, file sizes etc. The one use is at
