Your second question makes me concerned that you're not following my calibration instructions?  https://www.damiensymonds.net/calibration-instructions/

I think it looks fine.  Nobody would know.

At first, yeah, just manually adjust.

Sorry, which two profiles?

You're right, cloning is the solution.

But maybe you weren't doing it on "Color" mode?  https://www.damiensymonds.net/fixing-chromatic-aberration/

May I see a 100% crop of it?

no i was able to achieve 80 exactly and got the tick.

That's not what I meant.

I meant are you sure it's not too bright compared to your prints?

I have an iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021) - and I can't find any specification on which LED the montior has... White LED, RGB LED, OLED, GB LED. Any insight?

 

According to this page, GB LED.

Let me know if that doesn't work.

Hi D, i have just re-calibrated due to new PC and new Dell monitor, im happy with the colours but i feel like on screen contrast is higher than the prints, i cant see in your instructions how i could combat this? Are you able to help with this please?

Generally this starts with revisiting the brightness.  Are you SURE it's not too high?

Then this one: https://www.damiensymonds.net/client-photoshop/

Remind me, have you read this? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/02/selling-digital-images.html

I don't think there should be a number there AT ALL.

Can you tell me WHY you're saving the photos as jpeg?  Remember that jpegs must always have purpose.

Oh well shit, no wonder!

Why are you limiting the file size to 500KB?

Well you definitely didn't use 12 that time.  It looks more like 0 or 1.

Go back to your master file, and save the jpeg again.  Make very sure it's 12.  See how it looks.

I'm talking about this window:

No, I want to know what quality level you have been choosing up til now.

Specifically, what quality level did you choose when you saved this file?

Hello dear friends, so this happened to me for the VERY 1st time. I notice this back on camera BUT didn't know how to fix it  while shooting. Any idea why this happened? How to avoid?  as you can see there is banding and skin has red banding spots . Thank u

 

Yes, you must not use Millers.

Yes, this page is white.

Well, what quality level are you choosing when you save the jpeg? It looks like you're choosing a REALLY low level.

Please answer the question.

I'm trying to calibrate with my calibrate display pro hl and the one thing I can't find is my "monitor type". I have an iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021). Chip Apple M1. Different sites are stating different things.  I have tried a few settings and nothing matches my prints.  Also, - Nothing looks "white" anymore - - everything is blue/grey/cool . . .out of curiosity . . . white color is the background of this page - not the blue part but the part I'm typing in now.

According to this page, probably GB-LED?

Hi Gaby, did you shoot raw?

Is there a question here?

Yes.  Or maybe 60/3/5. Somewhere in that area.
