Because I needed to know if Method 1 worked or not.

Custom, as you said.

Which means Method 2 now. http://www.damiensymonds.net/cal_i1DP_pc2.html

Then you're NOT done recalibrating your monitor. Follow the troubleshooting part of my instructions.

No, Method 1 should work fine.

No, you're following the wrong instructions.

You have to follow my directions EXACTLY this time. https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration.html Because your screen didn't match your prints! That's why you started this thread, remember?

Yes, definitely better focus.

Ok, go ahead and calibrate again. Remind me which calibrator you have?

If you find that your screen still matches your previous prints, then we know that there is no problem at your end. The lab must have messed up. You can write to them and as for a reprint. However if you find that your screen no longer matches your previous prints either, then we know that something has gone wrong with your screen, and you need to calibrate it again. Does that make sense?

Phew! Dodged the first bullet. sRGB is good. Next step - you need to get out the prints you had at your last monitor calibration, and see if they still match your screen, or if they are now greener than the screen too.

"greener in colour" usually means that the colour space was wrong. Can you open one of the print files in Photoshop and take a screenshot for me?

How did it go, @fwendly?

Can you show me a screenshot of that?

There's your answer. 1024 on the longest edge.

Yes, I know. And Brian is going to flip his lid when he reads this. This kind of stuff is exactly why he tells us never to put files on our desktops, ever.

Put them in a proper folder. Is this the only set of photos that does it?

Geez, don't let Brian see you say that!!!!!!!!

Where are these files? Internal hard drive, external hard drive, other kind of media, cloud?

Can you do this for us then take another screenshot?

Oh, that's annoying, isn't it? Have you tried uploading a full-size photo to your site, then once it's there, downloading it again to see what size it is?

No, absolutely not. And tell your damn husband to stop messing with it. No, there's no numeric value on a Mac, sorry. Only the slider, as you said.

I'm so sorry, I can't help from here. Screens never photograph well. The comparison has to be up to you.

I've just done so. But if you're dealing with a glare problem of your own, please start your own thread with it. These fixes are quite specific to each photo.

Yep!
