Viviana

Sorry, i forgot to mention this image isnt edited. But i did try it on an image from this set. I will take a look at the thread. Thank you

No vivid colors. I have tried it on this color so far. Not this image but these colors.

I downloaded the soft proofing profiles for whcc. When viewing my images the soft profile mode, the change is ever so slightly. Is that a good thing?

Yellow mustard and skin look a bit more vibrant but is not like, oh gosh, those colors are SOOOO vibrant, if that makes Sense

Alright, 70 did it. I have prints that pretty much match my screen. its funny how the benq says is calibrated but it is sooooo bright!! The colors are more vibrant on the screen but you said we will take care of those later.

I just thought of something, perhaps a silly question. The prints im using to compare, should be of edited images or should they be SOOC? I ask because i obviously didnt know of you when I "edited" those images (which are aweful), so I want to make sure I am using the right stuff. Also, is this anywhere in your tutorials and can you point me in that direction?

I think i want to give 70 a try, i feel like 80 may be a tad too bright. I'll do it tomorrow and let you know.

Ok, so i calibrated first at luminance 100 and my images seemed too bright compared to prints. Then i did it again at 80 and that seemed better, although the colors on the screen seem more vibrant. Is that normal or what is the expectation?

Cool. I'll get back to you. Thank you!

Nope. I just learned today I'm getting a new screen tomorrow. It's a benq. Not sure which model. Do I have to calibrate it following the same steps or what should I be doing?

Not sure if im over thinking this thing but i spent the whole afternoon today calibrating and i cant seem to get it. My screen looks brighter than the prints. I think this is closest i was able to get it to 6500K. I didnt try method 2 yet. I am annoyed at this point. Thoughts?

They are but they suck! As you must already know. I have a silly question, regarding the prints, I have prints from two different labs, WHCC and Millers. Do i pick one to compare to or does that matter at all? The prints equally terrible lol

Sorry Damien, I havent had a chance to get back to this. Ive been dealing with bad colds with two kids. I'll be back to you as soon as i can.

Oh ok! then I will re calibrate and compare to the prints and let you know. Thank you!

To be quite honest, I calibrated the screen a few months ago following your tutorial but I had already printed images which looked awful. (Of course I had no idea about the WB sheet then).I havent tested the calibration again. What do you suggest? Edit a couple of images and send them to print for test or what would be more efficient?
