Calibration

[Damien Symonds]

On the manufacturer's website, I guess?

Here is the link from where i purchased it.

Thanks.  Yes, White LED should be the correct settings, so it can't be that.

With your recalibrations, have you now got the brightness exactly right? What luminance target have you calibrated to?

[Perli halpern]

It is probably still slightly too bright but i find it hard to see with all this pink because the colouring is so different.

I used 80 for the luminance target

[Damien Symonds]

Now that you have both screens calibrated, can you open a photo on both screens, then take a photo for me?  So I can see the difference?

[Perli halpern]

Good idea - Yes I will do that first thing in the morning for you. 

Thanks again

Attached re pics as requested

That photo makes it look like the desktop screen is too warm.  Is that the case?

[Perli halpern]

Correct

I have calibrated cooler but i found the pink still stayed. 

Should i re calibrate to 10000k? using method 1?

[Damien Symonds]

Yep.

[Perli halpern]

OK so I really calibrated lowering brightness to 70% and cooling to 10000k. Deff better but the skin tones are still pink. 

I have attached a pic of both screens jn one pic and then of a print next to each screen (the print looks green on the phone pic...jn real it deff has more pink jn it but nowhere near as much as the desktop screen) the print is more similar to laptop

Gee, it looks like it's too far the other way now?  Like the desktop screen is now cooler?

[Perli halpern]

i made the desktop cooler but it is not cooler than the laptop!!!

i guess the phone pics is not doing a great job huh!!

[Damien Symonds]

There must be something we're missing here.

Do you have any prints without people (skintones) in them to compare?

[Perli halpern]

no all are with people!!!!

[Damien Symonds]

Well, if you try to ignore the skintones, is pink still the problem in other areas?

[Perli halpern]

Im trying to look at other pictures, its very hard to say but i think the problem of the pink is basically in the skintones more than anything else. what i do notice and have a problem is that blues greens and yellows are stronger and brighter on screen than on print - print is a bit deeper and duller. (That might be a whole separate issue or is it the same thing...)

[Damien Symonds]

That's a soft-proofing issue, and we might as well pursue that now.

OK I will go through hhw soft proofing process - I think I will wait for that when I start with a UK lab in a few weeks.

Besides for that, if the laptop screen looks better than the desktop screen, is that still a soft proofing issue??? 

[Damien Symonds]

I think I might be a dense idiot.

Can you make sure your Display control panel doesn't have your screens set to "Duplicate"?  That would be catastrophic.  They must be on "Extend".

Also, which one is designated as the Number 1 screen?

[Perli halpern]

where do i check that please?

[Damien Symonds]

In the Control Panel. It's the Displays one, I think. I'm out at the moment, I'll check for you later if you haven't found it.

[Perli halpern]

Im in the display control panel but im still not sure what i'm checking. theres a bit red rectangle with a 1 in it. Then it tells me the resolutions which is the recommended one. and then the colour settings.

How do i see what my screen is set to? 

[Damien Symonds]

May I see a screenshot of that?
