Right, I need to see more raw posts yet.

Well, it might suit you better to scan the whole page, then crop each photo out into four separate files afterwards? That's what I do sometimes. Yes, you need to get your ass into the Levels Class!!!!! It's VITAL for these.

Sorry, what's uploading where as jpeg?

And what quality level are you choosing on the 0-100 scale?

So your screen is too cool, @Larese?

No, your monitor definitely must NOT be sRGB. sRGB is a colour space for images, not for screens.

Well, your settings depend entirely on the destination. For what purpose you exporting files?

Gee, this is a worry. Can you go to Photoshop's Color Settings, and make sure they're still on "North America General Purpose 2" the way they should be?

Of course you have to delete them yourself. Bridge never deletes anything automatically, and we'd NEVER want it to. That would be very dangerous.

This is such a good question. It's a question that I hope everybody asks of themselves. Data is never safe unless it exists in at least two different places. So yes, if your photos are on an external hard drive, you need to have a constantly-updated mirror copy of that drive's data on either another drive, or on a cloud service. Having two drives means that if one drive fails, it's very quick and easy to get up and running again from the other drive. But it leaves you vulnerable to disasters such as fire or theft. On the other hand, keeping your files on a cloud server means that they're safe from fire or theft at your house; but of course the file transfer is significantly slower.

Ok, well, I guess it'll have to do. At least you do have a print match now.

If your screen has to go down to 60 to match your prints, it means your room light is too dim. Have you compared screen to prints during the day yet?

This means your room still isn't bright enough

Ok, and have you tried 70?

What Luminance target are you choosing for the calibration?

I don't understand what you don't understand? Your.screen.must.match.your.prints.

I have no idea, sorry. You need to ask this on a Canon forum, I guess.

It's a catalogue file. She's sent you a catalogue instead of the actual photos.

Right.

The globes have to be bright enough to provide the same amount of light at night as you'd get through the open windows during the day.

If you're at 80 and your screen is still brighter than the prints, then we must turn our attention to your room light. Are you sure it's bright enough?

No, that's NOT the one you're following.

@HayleyJ you're following the wrong instructions, ya wally! You're supposed to be on these ones: https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/36351-i1studio-pc01/

Remind me which screen you have?
