Never mind. I know what I did. I did a hard reset in camera and is reverted to jpeg.

I was prompted to update ACR yesterday and now RAW is very different. The 2010 version is not what it once was. Sliders, WB and drop downs are different and photos are not opening into RAW, but into PS first. What a PIA!

Someone else in another group said she is having the same issue.

Every file type.

Same. Nothing.

Yep.

No notice or error either.

I have an issue that started two days ago. When I work in PS I am unable to save any work. I click on file>save as  and nothing happens. I tried shortcuts and nothing. I checked for updates, ran them and rebooted. Still nothing. What on earth is the problem?

I should say it's not horribly brighter, but enough to not flow with my style. 

So after a full re-calibration and adjusting my screen to prints my new prints are coming back brighter than my screen. During calibrate my screen is turn all the way Dow and my brightness reading is 98 on my spyder4 pro. Is the next strep raising my screen brightness a little so I'm not brightening more in post?

I'm placing a new order for test prints today before blowing money on a full order. I have one other question that I've been curious about. Why during calibration do we not test the ambient light?

They are bad in day light also. I called a Miller's and they say it's on my end. I've got to figure this out. 

Muddy, yellow and dull. My screen is turned all the way down and still in sRGB. I'm going crazy.

My studio is in my basement and my light source for editing are overhead fluorescent lights Kelvin 4200. Is a huge reason my prints don't match my screen?

It is set a 1 as low as I can go. 

Everything. The whole thing looks like there is a muddy overlay and dull/desaturated.

They are very close in terms of brightness.Her is the photo after levels work.

I will also mention my lighting in my room for editing is consistent with no windows. Lighting is florescent and bulbs are the correct kelvin temp per your advice. Just wanting to give as much info to figure out what I may be doing wrong on my end.

Yes, 100% sRGB.  Thank you Damien I will read through and try out soft proofing as I have never done that. 

Hey Damien,

So my prints (from professional labs) have never come back 100% to my satisfaction and I want that to change. The colors are always on the dull side and desaturated. My screen is not that at all. I have my screen (Asus ProArt) brightness down really low (100) and calibrate with Spyder4pro.
