Pantone has introduced huey PRO, a new member to its award-winning huey family of display calibration products. hueyPRO is designed for photographers and creative professionals to improve colour clarity and consistency across multiple CRT, laptop and LCD displays. The original huey made the once complicated task of monitor calibration simple and approachable. The new hueyPRO offers additional functionality for users who frequently print photos and other graphics, share them between monitors or upload them to web sites.
About the size of a marker pen, hueyPRO retains its ability to continually adjust the monitor as room lighting changes. With the addition of new software, hueyPRO offers increased control over brightness and contrast through separate menu choices that allow users to select gamma and white point settings. An improved Help function offers hints and workflow suggestions for improving colour output.
Monitor calibration is the first step to controlling colour in a digital workflow, yet many designers and photographers still dont calibrate and profile their monitors, said Andy Hatkoff, vice president of electronic color systems for Pantone, Inc. By offering easy to use, professional features, we hope to build awareness for the importance of monitor calibration in the color management process.
Which huey is right for you?
The huey family of products is sold exclusively through Pantone and now offers two monitor colour correction devices for hobbyists, enthusiasts and professionals:
huey: For enthusiasts just getting started with colour management, huey takes less than five minutes to make onscreen colour fidelity appropriate for viewing photos, playing games, creating graphics or browsing the Web. Unlike other colour calibration tools on the market, huey is the first monitor calibrator to continually adjust for ambient lighting.
hueyPRO: Designed for hobbyists and professionals looking for greater colour control and consistency when working between multiple monitors, hueyPRO packs advanced colour correction functionality into an affordable package. Like its sibling huey, hueyPRO delivers professional results without requiring expertise in colour management.
