Calibration

[Sheena D Photography]

Ok so I just got a new HP Omen computer and right when i started editing i could tell the calibration was off. When i look at the picture on my computer it looks good but when i look at it on any other computer of device it looks to bright and just off.  My friend has the spyder5 and i used it but my colors were still off. Now I figured there has to be someone i can take it to, to help me. I called our local camera store and I am even more discouraged then when I started. He told me if i used the spyder then my calibration is correct and only people who have calibration computer will see my images the way they should look. But this doesn't help me at all when posting my work to my pages. On my old computer my pictures looked great on screen, printing and on all devices. Can you please help me? I am at a loss of what to do.

Did you follow my instructions to the letter?

[Sheena D Photography]

yes

left is my old computer and right is the new one

Comparisons to other computers are irrelevant.  The only comparison that matters is to your pro lab prints.  Describe that to me. How does your screen differ from the prints?

i have not printed from this computer yet but my computer on the left look the same as the prints. So do i print first to see what happens. my feeling is that the images on the HP are super orange and warm

The age or source of the prints doesn't matter.  Prints are prints.

Do you still have the calibrator?

[Sheena D Photography]

Yes

[Damien Symonds]

Great!  So follow my directions again, and do it properly.

[Sheena D Photography]

I did it to the T the last time but i will do it again

[Damien Symonds]

No you didn't.  You didn't compare the prints.
