How is your screen connected to your computer? What kind of cable?

Yes, by all means give it a shot. But it's a heck of a fiddly and frustrating process, so brace yourself. It certainly shouldn't need to happen. But in desperation, yes, you can try it.

Oh, any pastel-ish wall colour is fine. As long as it's nothing garish that throws cast around. I know it's a hassle for a desktop computer, but have you tried setting it up in any other rooms, that might be better lit, to see what you see?

Been shooting anything new to show me, @rswannabe?

Excellent. Then yes, save yourself the monthly payments. Stick to your CS6 and let me teach you how to rock it.

Hi @BettinaJay, have you done some editing in CS6 to make sure it's still running fine?

@yvonne please don't wait any longer to dive into your class!

Hooray!

*twitching nervously*

Your prints aren't too dark. Your prints are what they are. The job of monitor calibration is to make the screen match the prints. No chance at all, I promise.

Gosh yes, good choice. The Dell Ultrasharps are great. I'm running one myself.

I've just been browsing gumtree in your area. There are some excellent IPS screens for sale.

Then it's time for a new screen. Let's not waste any more time on this. However, when I say "new" I don't actually mean new. https://www.facebook.com/groups/195567190503489/permalink/2659777307415786/

On both computers?

Yeah, that's bad. Let's try to fix that.

Ohhhhh ....

I'm not sure if you know what a drop shadow is? Can you see the light soft shadow at the bottom and right-hand sides of this?

I can't see it at all, sorry.

Oh, I forgot to ask, what kind of cable is connecting your monitor to your computer?

I think I'm wrong about this. You can't turn off a graphics card altogether, it seems. We just need to make it run in basic mode.

I don't either, sorry

Pure coincidence. Put it out of your mind. Gonna have to turn off the graphics card.

I guess so

It really sounds like graphics card interference in your new computer, doesn't it? I can't think of any other explanation. Maybe see if it's possible to temporarily turn off the graphics card?

Yeah, that was bad advice Which Spyder was it?
