Monitor Calibration

The only way to do it accurately is with a tool.

Otherwise, you can print a color sheet on your high end calibrated printer (also requires a tool) on high end paper and ink, and match your monitor to it.

If you're only hanging prints in your house, you can match your monitor to a color sheet printed from an uncalibrated printer. This will provide the worst results and not help with other people viewing digital files online.

tldr buy a calibration thing

You can calibrate brightness and contrast (which are the most important settings) perfectly fine with just a software help.

But for color, yeah you need something that can analyze the screen.
