Yet another season of spring is upon us...and quickly passing here in Arizona, might I add!

My apologies for not posting for over a month...wow! School has been keeping me very busy, but I have appreciated all of your comments and read every one.

Recently I got a Gretag Macbeth color checker which, when ACR is calibrated to my camera, results in significantly more accurate color representation. If you own a DSLR, this should be your next purchase. It's a little pricey (~$80), but well worth it, especially if you're using Adobe. They are currently available as Xrite color checkers from B&H (Xrite bought Gretag Macbeth). I might post some sample before/after on my flickr.

Well, I have two more days of actual class and then finals. The semester is quickly drawing to a close, and summer is nearly upon us. It is currently in the 90's...which actually still feels quite pleasant.

Glad to see photos again! Hope school is going well. Finals week is coming up very quickly here too.

Is that just one of those color cards, or is it a hardware thing for your computer?
