Right.

So your lamps are too dim, but the right colour.  The overhead lights are nice and bright, but the wrong colour

Any chance of changing the bulbs in the overhead lights?

If not, we'll just have to persevere with the lamps.

I'm certain I can get some 6500k bulbs (that's what I want right?).  Possibly this weekend.  I think this is a big part of my problem lol.

Let's assume I will persevere (for now) with the lamps, where's the best place to place them. I have one to the right of my desk now and it has made a great deal of difference.

ok - I do think it must be the lighting.  turned the overheads off - brought one of my lamps over closer to my desk and the color appears totally different. ?  Different meaning D50 is way too warm on the screen and the print is cool.

Do you understand the point of my question, though?  Is your interior lighting the same as daylight?

no - it is not the same as daylight.  and of course it is night here lol.

I know this can be a VERY hard question to answer, but if you took your computer outside, would the screen still be too cool compared to the prints?

I don't know.  And I have three sets of prints from three different labs, if it matters.  this has been torturing me for weeks

I wish I could accurately capture it in a photo but I can't seem to.

This is the reason why I got the lamps with 6500k bulb setup going lol - and I still had this same sliiiight magenta problem with that lighting, too.

This suggests that your lighting is too warm?

That was the first go round - I've managed to get it closer but I'm about to pull my hair out.  Prints are still a bit more magenta than my screen.  helpppppp

This is with luminance 90, D50 and my prints are still a little more magenta than my screen - I'm wondering where to start with the daylight temperature setting for the white point, the 7150? pulling my hair out

Ok - I did my laptop screen first, followed your instructions exactly.  luminiance is 100, native

Very cool compared to my prints and perhaps a little bit brighter, too?  This is the chart I got, my native white is 7150 - so

ok - I re-read the light around your computer article - I'm going to try this with my overhead lights ?

Wow.  And you're dead sure that you have a perfectly accurate print match with that?

With those stupid lamps I would have expected your screen to be brighter than your print at 100.

I wouldn't say dead sure, no.  I'm going to re-calibrate.  I do know that my screen was way cooler with native, I had to go all the way to D50 for the best match.

Ok why "stupid lamps"?  I thought overhead, bright light is bad?

100

got it!  My photoshop 2019 startup scripts were not checked!

Oh darn. This problem seems to appear in every update.

I can't remember the fix, sorry.  But if you google for the problem, you'll get a gazillion hits.

Ugh I've already googled - nothing so far has worked.  I'm tempted to just delete 2019 and stick with 18

Hello!

I just recently upgraded to Bridge/Photoshop 2019 from 2018.  In my tools menu in bridge, my photoshop option (where I usually batch stuff) has disappeared.  Help?  I still have 2018 versions on my computer and it is still present there.

Down the bottom, in the middle.  Click on that link to fix it.

The Raw Class takes you through this.  I've just added you.

Will i have to change it every time??

Hi there!  I just went through the bridge class and edited an image in ACR, opened in photoshop and saved.  I noticed that the file is RGB, and not srgb.  Did I miss this in the preferences somewhere?  Thanks!
