How are you going with this, @Kim C.?

Laptop, wide gamut. I assume White LED, so try that first. Your calibrator might be too old for this screen, though. It might give you weird results. Anyway, go ahead and try, and see what happens.

The one on the right looks worse? That's true, but only in one specific instance - a PNG file of less than 1MB on a biz page. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/07/mangled-watermarks-on-facebook.html

Oh, right

Yes, definitely needs to be blurred. And it's a little too dark.

I just tried mine again - still no luck.

I spoke too soon. The update download progress bar got all the way to 100%, but then it told me it wasn't able to download, and that I should try again later.

Well ... because you don't need a copy, of course. You're just editing your photo. PLEASE read: https://www.damiensymonds.net/examining-the-complexities-of-an-acr-workflow.html And PLEASE do: https://www.damiensymonds.net/bridge-30-day-challenge

But yes, if there are updates and you haven't (or haven't been able to) installed them yet, that will account for the issue.

I just checked - I'm able to download an update for my CS5 Bridge ok.

Read it again. And again, and again, and again. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2014/06/the-wide-gamut-myth.html

And since re-installing CS6, have you been to its Help menu to make sure all the updates are also installed?

Nancy, I'm ashamed of you. You know better than this. You, who know better, should be browsing the internet looking for opportunities to educate people about this; not looking for seeds of doubt about an issue which you already understand.

Yes, the SPACE is larger than sRGB. Not the file size.

Still CS6?

Now let's deal with this nonsense. Show me the evidence.

Remind me your situation? What was your old operating system, and what is your new one?

The camera colour space only applies if you shoot jpeg. I trust your standards haven't slipped so far that you're shooting jpeg?

You've nobody to blame but yourself. You could have had a new PC with just as much power, and a better screen, for far less money.

Yeah, back when the Spyder4 was current. I fear you need a new calibrator, sorry. However, have you tried the options under "Part 9 - Troubleshooting" about 2/3rds down this page? It's for the Spyder 5, not the 4, but is fairly relevant.

How old was your last iMac?

Never make a copy. Always choose "Make this a proof".

How did you go, @Cathy Stark?

Can you at least check your calibration?

What type of files are they? That you're attempting to save together as a PDF?
