Thank you!  I will work on getting that from her when our stay at home orders are lifted.

I don't have a scanner myself but she said she has a better one at the office she can scan it on. 

Hey Damien,

I have a friend that asked me if it was possible to brighten up her moms face?  This is one of the only three pictures she has with her and obviously taken before digital was even a thought. 

I'm actually working on it.  Started it this past weekend.  

ok, thank you!  I definitely will.  I've been playing with tiny changes in the calibration and its still as it was but it is 100% different than last night!  Thank you again so much! 

I am sooooooclose.....Brightness is right on, prints are ever so slightly warmer, I notice the warmth more in the neutrals.  

I've gone back and recalibrated and the prints are slightly warmer...so slightly and you notice it more in the neutrals.  

Out of 6 prints that I am using to compare, 4 are not cool. 

Yes, the screen is cooler.  

The print is warmer. The brightness is fine though. 

The other two that I was comparing was MPix and Millers.  Not the two best other choices.  

I do but I've only been using prints from one lab when matching prints to calibration.  

The same lab I used the ICC profile and soft proofing for. 

Yes,  the prints I am comparing to the calibration are all from the same lab.  

Went through them again and OMG I think I got it!    I have a couple that don't match but I have four that match with both brightness and color.  

Absolutely!  Done!  I apologize that I didn't have that updated.

I'm calibrating the onboard screen.  I don't have the desktop running off of it.  

No.  I'm currently using a MacBook Pro.  Yes, old computer was a MacBook as well.  

Screen has always been more red than the print.  Print is more yellow than the screen.  New screen.  I've had the calibrator for a few years now.  There have been more problems of the lab I was using not having accurate color consistently and I wanted to look for a new lab so I went and had some test prints made at a few labs that came highly recommended to me. 

No, when comparing the print and screen the screen has more red and the print has more yellow.  The print is as if there is a yellow filter on there.  The prints just look dirty no matter how I change the brightness to match the print.  I'm so sorry.  I'm so frustrated. 

Ok, so I've lowered the brightness of the screen and recalibrated and there is still more red in the screen than on the print.  I've gone through all the steps in the soft proofing link and there wasn't any difference in color when toggling back and forth. 

Sorry, no, was going to submit a print order with my brightness adjusted. 

I don't think it was bright enough...the prints were darker than I would want them to be.  Going to recalibrate at a brighter screen, and just print a few test prints to confirm and peace of mind.  

Absolutely, especially when comparing print to screen of the camping set up (tent/hammock/middle of fire).  The neutrals are right on.  I'm hoping lack of brightness is part of the issue.  The prints just look more dull than they do on my screen.  Definitely more red on the screen and more yellow on the print.  

Unfortunately not to how I would want it to be.  Part of it is that it didn't print as bright as I hoped it would so I needed to make adjustments there.  I think I just need to reprint some test prints again, especially to ensure brightness is accurate as well.  There's still more red tones on the screen vs on the print.  

Got it and did it!
