Oh, phew.

I'm definitely not going to do that until we know for sure it's the screen, not the room or the calibrator. Yes.

Then I see no alternative but to temporarily move the whole computer back into the other room, and see what happens.

The scan is cooler than the photo you posted earlier, if that's what you mean.

Ok. Do you have another screen you can plug in and try?

Recently in AD I posted about my own experience - how I moved my desk 1.5 metres to the right IN THE SAME ROOM and could no longer achieve a print match. Moving a whole room can make a world of difference. Sorry, for once I wasn't asking about print comparison. I just wanted to know if, to the average person, the screen settings would seem warm now.

Do all the settings look that warm to you? Or is it only the way the calibrator is reading them?

This is truly bizarre. I seriously can't imagine why it would be so. Did you accidentally drop your calibrator while moving stuff?

The first statement seems to downplay the second. It must be more than a "bit" darker.

To your eye, how much different is the light in the new room?

Oh, phew!

Ok, we need to know the source of this problem. Do you still have your old screen? Or another screen of any sort? You'll need to plug it in and calibrate it and see if the same problem arises.

No, of course not. There is no problem with your images, only your screen profile.

Bummer Try another calibration with a Version 4 profile, maybe. https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/32032-xelite-07/

Yeah, I can't find anything to contradict that either. Your Spyder worked ok on your previous screen?

What Display Technology did you choose? https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/32038-xelite-11/

Thanks. And did you follow my calibration directions here? https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration-instructions/

May I have a link to the specs of your new screen?

Interesting! Is there a library of skies to choose from?

May I see?

Oh, this is always tricky. You need to begin by cloning the people out of the darker photo. So that it's just a photo of scenery, you know? That removes a lot of the difficulty of "lining up".

Great! Emailed you.

Gee, don't keep me in suspense, @Shellylyn! How did it go?

All the channels are too damaged for any kind of "rescue" of those areas. It'll just be painstaking cloning, and/or swapping in areas of detail from another shot.

Great! So yes, go ahead and calibrate with a lower brightness setting. https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration-instructions/
