[SLUG] Linux users in Canberra and photography

[Sharon Doig <po_box_304@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Slug,
Is there a users group in Canberra?

I am a photography student at ANU. Issues with colour management has come up recently in my work flow. I want to have some recommendations on a) how to calibrate my Flat Screen NVidia Monitor? b) what kind of screen monitor calibration tools should I use and what software? c) how do I calibrate my HP Photosmart 7760 Printer to give a very close print to what I see on my screen?  

My computer is an Asus A6T Series Gaming Laptop.  I am running Suse Linux 10.2 on this machine.

Are there anyone who can give advice or have set up colour management for photography using a linux set up?

You need not rush with replies, as I will be on vacation for a month. However, any info is welcome, eg. howtos, websites, even contacts other photographers working with linux would be welcome.

Thanks

Snappy Sharon.

You should stress the importance of open standards, as well as open source,=

and how well they go together. Open standards ensures long-term data=20
independence for the business, and makes switching between software and=20
operating systems much more trivial.
