Hi @Cailynn, you have a much bigger problem than a bit of flatness. Please follow this troubleshooter to fix your colour space.

Yep, I'd say any of those will be fine.

Just fixed Brian's typo

Looks fine from here!

May I see a screenshot?

I'm not sure what you've been told. Yes, of course calibrators are like all electronics - they don't live forever. But as long as you treat it right you'll get quite a few good years out of it.

Hi @SarahIE, I'm not Brian, but I can tell you I've seen a few people report bad experiences with that BenQ calibration system in my group.

Easily good enough. Nothing to worry about.

For this one, it should be sufficient to add a Solid Color layer of appropriate blue colour, and set that layer's blend mode to "Color", then gently mask it on to the problem areas. You're having a run of bad luck. Fine detail like clothing fabric makes it happen.

A blue dress will require different numbers. Let's see it.

Ah, I see the problem. Your Properties panel is too small, so you can't see the fourth field. I've given you four numbers, which you have to put in the four fields, in the order given. 0 in the first field.

That's because you got the order of the numbers wrong

That's correct. And it will make the whole image the same greeny-grey colour as the shirt. Then, of course, you mask it to the shirt only.

Hi Monique, I think this will work for you ... A Channel Mixer adjustment layer, with these values: Red 0, +101, 0, -2 Green 0, +97, 0, +1 Blue 0, +95, 0, -2 Make sure you get the numbers in exactly the right order.

Don't worry, Google will give you a thousand hits.

Please ignore all phones. Phone screens are deliberately manufactured too bright. ONLY assess your editing screen based on pro lab prints. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/09/all-about-monitor-calibration.html

Can I see these screenshots? Make sure they're actual screenshots, not just photos of your screen.

Yeah, these are dark too PLEASE get a monitor calibrator as soon as you can.

Correct.

Don't wait until you have the new laptop. Order those prints NOW.

Yes, you would. And yes, that guy doesn't sound good at all.

You don't need new test prints. Just use the prints you already have.

Can you post one or two of the personal ones for me to see?

Please answer the question.
