Have you read this? Could your lighting be the problem?

How many screens do you have?

No they don't. Stop saying that. Your prints are what they are. Ok, so when you got to the troubleshooting section of my calibration instructions, is that the approach you took? That your screen was too cold?

Ok, let's start by dealing with Facebook, then we'll see what else needs fixing. http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tsfb000.html

You've calibrated both screens?

Great. So this is only a Facebook problem? What about other websites?

No they're not. The prints are what they are. Then never change. I need you to describe the screen in comparison to the prints. Fill in the blank: "My screen is ________ (warmer/colder) than my prints."

Let's boil this down to the core. Do you have a match between Photoshop and your pro lab prints?

So you're saying that Photoshop, Bridge and Facebook all match each other?

That's not what I asked.

Terrific. So explain the problem to me. In what way is your screen differing from your pro lab prints?

Not at all. Are these the instructions you've been following?

That's exactly what I'm here for. Post in this section as often as you like.

I can't discuss raw processing here.

Well, isn't that the point? Aren't you just seeing everything bigger now?

Which Spyder do you have?

That doesn't seem like a good recommendation to me. Better to resize them exactly, then sharpen them appropriately, then upload them.

What screen did you have before?

And what about Photoshop itself?

No, this is fine. Read the bolded paragraph in this article.

A newer/better calibrator will do a better job. The Spyder 3 is very old now, the technology has improved significantly. Which Spyder3 is it? Express, Pro, or Elite?

Don't be absurd. You don't need a model release for a 100% crop.

The fix I gave for one photo won't necessarily work on another photo. You need to show me your photo. Not the whole photo, of course. I need a 100% crop from the problem area.

By all means. But know that you can't sharpen the photo. So it's a trade-off.

No problem. I love the easy ones
