Ok fantastic! Reading up on them now and just had a play around in bridge

Ok so I should be saving the image with save? I know that sounds obvious lol but i have been using export. So I went in and ticked the box ICC profile. But I cant see the second screen you sent ?

Oh i didnt even know! where do i go to make sure that doesnt happen? 

Ok fantastic! I will look at those links now  thankyou so much I will let you know how i go 

No Im still quite new and basically self taught so I havent used bridge but willing to learn! 

Ok so probably the best thing for me to do is order this image from the lab and see what the result is when it arrives

Just when i save image to pictures on my computer after editing? I was using chrome but just followed all instructions and downloaded firefox. Does this image look desaturated to you?

I know you said that it doesnt matter what the image looks like in the export window but the image isnt saving in the vibrant edit i can see on the PS screen it is saving as what it looks like on the export screen. Desaturated

Ohhh ok so if ive edited the image how i like it once i send to print ect it will be close to the edited image not the export window image? 

I have only ever used the export window because i spose i havent been shown any other way lol? Is there a better way to save? 

Ok so i have read through and made the changes to SRGB in the blue link at the bottom of ACR like your article said. Now the colors are slightly better then before they are still exporting green/grey tinge? like desaturated?

Its probably hard to tell on the photo but its more prominent in real life 

Ok let me check it out

When I go to export out of photoshop to save the image for clients

I fell that the print and the screen are pretty on par maybe a bit brighter on screen but im struggling when i go to export the image from photoshop it is a completely different color. Ill try add a photo of it for you

Do you think ive done something wrong with the calibration process or do you think its something that has changed in photoshop? 

Hi Damien 

I dont offer prints to much as of yet but the ones i have printed i used were from Nulab Imaging 

Hi Damien 

I have just calibrated my Laptop using Spyder Pro 5. I have followed your instructions on calibration from your page to the best of my ability. It was my first time doing this. Once finished calibrating I then went into photoshop CC and edited one of my photos. I went to export the edited image (which looks how I wanted it to in PS) and it is grey and desaturated. I then looked on your page to read up on colorspace. I use ACR so made sure that was in SRGB. I then went to color settings and made sure my working space was in SRGB. I then went to assign profile to make sure the working RGB was in SRGB. And the same with convert to profile. I am at an absolute loss and very frustrated as I have alot of editing to do. I am not very savvy with all this as im still fairly new to photography. If you can help me I would be forever grateful. 

Thankyou!
