Sheena D Photography Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena D Photography Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 The age or source of the prints doesn't matter. Prints are prints. Do you still have the calibrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 No you didn't. You didn't compare the prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
