    I'm not sure what you mean by "plan". If you want to turn this photo into a logo, you'll need to use the Pen Tool. That's the plan.
  2. Damien Symonds
    Yeah, it's a hard thing to learn, all right. Have you ever seen this page?
  3. Damien Symonds
    Yep, like most logos, that's a vector file created with the Pen Tool. Do you have any experience with that tool?
  4. Damien Symonds
    Holy moley! You've done an excellent job, well done! You're right, just add some shadowing and call it done.

    We'll get to the vibrance in a moment. Are you comfortable that 80 is perfect for brightness now? Or do you need to go to 70?
  6. Damien Symonds
    Glad I was able to. You're welcome. Post again any time you need.
  7. Damien Symonds
    Looks good at this distance.
  8. Damien Symonds
    Let me know how you go with it.

    Yeah, fab. May I have the 100% crop of her face again now?
  11. Damien Symonds
    Oh, exciting! Benq have a good reputation. Yes, calibrate with the same steps.
  12. Damien Symonds
    No, of course it's much too dark. Go ahead and do your raw editing in the usual way.
  13. Damien Symonds
    Oh, phew! Ok, go ahead and do your normal raw processing (exposure etc) then post the photo again and we'll discuss the glare.
  14. Damien Symonds
    Hi @Katie10, yes, I can help you with this, at least to a degree. How many photos have this problem?
  15. Damien Symonds
    Calibrate in the daytime. Just close the blinds while you're doing it. And you'll need to only edit in the daytime, until you have brighter lights that match daylight.
  16. Damien Symonds
    Have you recalibrated, @Viviana?
  17. Damien Symonds
    @Crystal Scheuermann?
  18. Damien Symonds
    What about windows? If you open the blinds in the middle of the day, how does the screen compare to prints then?
  19. Damien Symonds
    Are you SURE your room is bright enough? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2012/01/light-around-your-computer.html
  20. Damien Symonds
    Just to check - are these the instructions that you're following?
  21. Damien Symonds
    Yes, that's ok to fiddle with the Contrast setting, but yes, you need to recalibrate afterwards.
  22. Damien Symonds
    Can you just read over this and make sure everything is kosher?
  23. Damien Symonds
    Yeah, you're not the first person to mention this glitch. It's very annoying. Have you continued on to complete the calibration; and if so, how was the print match?
  24. Damien Symonds
    If your screen is too bright, lower the luminance target. 6500K is not the problem there. 100 is the problem.
  25. Damien Symonds
    What's your assessment? Do you think the lab has printed your new prints differently from the older prints?
