How to calibrate your screen in Windows 7

To ensure that your prints are exactly like the colors that you see on your monitor, you may calibrate your monitor if you have Windows 7. This new feature is perfect for those who are using their systems for editing and printing images for commercial work. If your settings on the monitor are set to a high contrast level, you will not be capable of differentiating the mid-tone levels; and if you have a high level of brightness, the mid-tones will disappear. Calibrating the monitor of Windows 7 systems can ensure you that everything will always be picture perfect.
