    I fucking hate calibrating the color of my monitors!!! ARGGHHH!!!

    So I did something and my monitors went out of whack... I spent like 2 weeks getting them perfect before this and now I have to do it all over again...

    FUCK ME!

    Perhaps this time I will save the profiles...

    Now one is a little too blue and not popping enough...

    The other is perfect on the pop, but it's too yellow...

    Anyone got some software that helps?

                Less that 100 bucks, very cool tool, auto calibrates your monitor and adjusts for room light changes
