Calibrating the display.. will it save or spend battery life?

[1060120]

I just calibrated my MacBook's display to look astonishingly great; however my concern is, will this affect my battery life in any considerable way?
I use it for work and even the tiniest amount does a difference.

Thanks!

If your calibration resulted in a higher brightness level than you had before, that will consume more power and shorten battery runtime. But otherwise, it would not matter.

It was almost exactly like this:

Big difference! Did you use a Spyder 3 or what?

Well, my display came with the standard LCD calibration, so it had like this white hue, you know? So being a retina display Ithouht it had to look better. I looked up in the web and found how to do the expert calibration (pressing Ctrl or option whilst calibrating),

The picture I posted is an example of what I did, the pic is from the web but looks exactly as my display now.

I'm sorry, I'm new at Mac, I don't know what Sypder3 is.

Ahh... gotcha. I was referring to this gadget used to calibrate computer screens.

Ah, looks fancy! No, I just used the advanced tool for calibrating the tool. I wish Ihad one of those but I dno't think I would give it much use.
