Hi all, I have a 13" unibody macbook (2008) that I take with me when I travel for a shoot. I use it for backup and review mainly as I find it quite hard to see the true results of a processed file i.e. the subtle tones in a snowscape. Can I ask how do you use your macbook/mbp for processing on the go? Do you calibrate the screen (I have a Spyder4 Pro), and do you turn off the auto dimming/brightening of the monitor to preserve the accuracy of the settings?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Des

Yes to both questions

I calibrate it and I don't use auto dimming.
