I really need to hear my fellow color geeks' opinions on this. I have
clients who feel that evaluating color on their uncalibrated and
unprofiled
monitors make sense because "that's what the customer will see" and want
to
be sure I answer their concerns wisely.
My recommendation would be to do your work on a good, calibrated and
profiled monitor but to keep a Wal*Mart-grade monitor around to look at
the image on before you send it to the world.
On this I'm following the lead of the guy I know who produces gospel
albums. He has a fantastic, state-of-the-art studio. He's got a couple
million
in the control room acoustics alone. He's got a home listening room that's
to die for. But his iPod earbuds and his car stereo are flea market
abominations--because he knows his clients' fans are listening to his work
on the same kind of stereos. If the track sounds good on his iPod and on
his car stereo, it's ready.
In our field, if an image only looks good on a $10,000 calibrated monitor,
it doesn't look good.
