Oh gee. How dark, exactly?

I adore my Asus ROG ("Republic of Gamers") laptop. Its IPS screen is divine. I've had it for many years of daily use, and it's never missed a beat.

Sorry, I can't discuss this here. Only in the Levels Class.

Yeah, no, sorry. Ditch it. Your f/2.8 has screwed with you here. The nose is sharp, the eyebrows are almost sharp, but the eyes are not. A narrower aperture would have saved you.

Yeah, that's less yellow, and much nicer in my opinion. The skin looks completely awful. SO much clipping.

What the heck, @Cleyvosier???? You're posting on POTN now? I'm trying and trying and TRYING to help you here. I assume you're calibrating the Dell now? Here are the instructions to use: https://www.damiensymonds.net/cal_CMD_pc.html

One of the Crop Tool settings should be "WxHxResolution" - is that right? It's the one that's ticked in this screenshot: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M8RAa8SC5go/VIndVW1j_fI/AAAAAAAAWHA/hHS3LUHDI1g/s1600/save%2Bcrop%2Bpreset.jpg

That's easy to fix. Follow the troubleshooting section of the instructions.

Yes, I know, you already told me that. I want to know HOW they compare? Does the MacBook screen match the prints?

Do you know what card it is? Nvidia, maybe?

Please @Cleyvosier, I really want to help.

Ok, remind me of the change you made to your calibration, that caused this change?

You know that your iPhone is completely irrelevant, right? Any match is entirely a fluke.

In my opinion, complete overkill. Just get a regular tablet to replace your mouse. As you say, they are for artists. In addition to Brian's thoughts, it always comes back to the last paragraph in this article. Don't do it.

I suspect it might be called Kuler now? Are you sure your Photoshop is up to date?

I didn't remember I just checked.

Don't mention it. Glad it was an easy fix in the end PLEASE don't wait any longer to take the Sharpening Class. It will rock your world.

Sure, post it here.

It seems very unlikely. But hey, try it and see. You'll soon know.

No, I'm reluctant to pin any "general rules" to any of this. It depends on each printer's requirements.

Let's talk again after you've compared the prints in good light.

Hooray!!!

Ok, can you do this for me?

You mentioned "when I post to social media it looks darker and greyer". May I have a link to one of those?

Winner!! It looks great. And as far as I can tell, it's technically perfect. I can't foresee any problems when you send them this file.
