I was under the impression that LCD screens (I have a Toshiba laptop)
would not give an accurate preview within Photoshop of the finished
print, until I purchased the Printfix Pro Suite and used the Spyder2
pro to calibrate the screen. Now I feel that that screen is better
suited to Photoshop than my older NEC CRT monitor. This may be my
imagination, but the finished prints are the proof of the pudding; so
to speak.
