  1. Calibration should be done in dim light. Some people even do it in the pitch dark, but that's not really necessary. But at the end of the calibration process, at the print comparison stage, you must be in good bright light. And your editing must be done in good bright light too. Have you read this one? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2012/01/light-around-your-computer.html
  2. How old is the monitor? May I have a link to its specs?
  3. Thanks. Mainly his work is characterised by bad white balance. I'm pleased that you know better. However, it's easy enough to mimic. Start by adding Photo Filter layer, choose Cooling Filter 82, at about 10% density, and with the "Preserve Luminosity" box UNchecked. (For heaven's sake make sure you check that box again next time you use a filter for cast correction purposes.) That will do most of the work. Then to your taste, you can add a Hue/Sat layer, choose "Greens", and play with the sliders. In most cases the Hue and Saturation sliders will go to the right, and Lightness to the left.

  5. No, sorry, I didn't mean the cable. I meant the actual monitor. Does it have any other ports, apart from the VGA one?
  6. Well, it seems an awful shame. But if it's what it takes to get a print match, I guess you'll have to. At least until you can get a newer calibrator. Yeah, sRGB would be considered "Normal". I wouldn't dismiss this out of hand. If you can get it to work, it should be the best option.
  7. I hope you'll join the Bridge Class. I cover this, and lots of other stuff, in great detail.
  8. How are you going, @Glynda horsfall? Getting some space cleared?
  9. They might take a while to delete, if they're as huge as I think they are.
  10. That's exactly right. Delete those four folders.
  11. This massive green area, remember? C/users/kendra/appdata/roaming/adobe/bridge/cache
