Are you still there, Mr Nikon?

I have emailed you.

Ok, so let's ignore the old screen then. Let's just concentrate on the new screen. Can you describe what is the problem, exactly? In what way does the calibrated screen differ from your prints?

So your prints matched your screen with your old setup?

The email address you've used for your membership of this forum is different from the email address you listed when you signed up. Are both addresses still valid?

The email should have come through by now?

Hi Julius, How are you judging this, exactly? What calibrator did you use for your old screen? Is it an entirely new computer system, or have you only replaced the screen? Even 600:1 is too high in my opinion. 400:1 is better. Basically, the higher the contrast ratio, the further away from print matching you'll be. And I guess it goes without saying that print matching is the goal of calibration. On that subject, which pro lab are your prints from? And how many prints do you have? The purpose of calibration is to make your screen match your prints. It doesn't matter if you don't like the prints, your screen still has to match them. So if the blacks on screen are lighter than the blacks in print, you need to darken the blacks on screen. However, I urge you to take your light into consideration. Have you read this? I'm so sorry, I haven't used CN since version 4.

You'll need to include the flatting in your action, to be safe. Sorry, I can't answer that here. That information is part of the Sharpening Class.

Yep.

Definitely don't do it manually. Put it in Image Processor as usual.

Have you watched the video? If sharpening is required, you'll need to make a simple action to do the sharpening, then include it in Image Processor.

While jobs are live they should always be on your internal (and backed up onto an external). Never edit off an external.

I'm really worried about transfer directly from card to external drive. That seems risky to me.

Don't use the action if you don't need a watermark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just use Image Processor. And yes, 3600x3600.
