Screen cooler than prints after callibration

[Tarria]

I Have followed your instructions today and compared screen to my prints and the screen is still too cool.

My Screen preset is set to normal and is 6920k compared to the required 6500k. this was the closest.

Warm was 5292 and cool was 9979. (isnt is supposed to be the other way round?)

I have a small office on the south side of the house. I did it at about 1.30 with the lights out and the block out blind closed. However it was still not dark dark.

I have a B/W and colour photo to compare with and a set of colour cards

Remind me which Spyder you have?

Lots of people get confused by this.  No, it's correct.  In raw, the numbers are compensatory.  As the temperature number gets higher and cooler in real life, the raw number gets higher and warmer to balance it.  I hope this makes sense.

For now, ignore the black-and-white one.

You need a lot more than just one colour photo.  Really? Surely you have others lying around?

Spyder Pro 4

Nup, confused!

In raw to warm it up i increase the number and  to cool it down i decrease the number thats all i know

[Damien Symonds]

That's right.

Put it out of your mind.  It's not important right now.

Got other prints?

[Tarria]

Nope not here at home. I don't really print anything for myself. I am one of those asshole clients that just has digital files in piles.

I have quite a few at the studio. but all from the same job. Grey backdrop was to magenta.

[Tarria]

ok sorry, leave it for now. I will get them friday and bring them home. chat over the weekend then

[Damien Symonds]

We really need a bit of variety in the prints, if possible.

[Tarria]

ok. i'll see what ive got

[Tarria]

Happy Tuesday!!!

I have some images to compare now.

[Damien Symonds]

Hooray!  And what are they telling you?

[Tarria]

My screen is definitely more contrasty. Richer blacks and better definition than in my prints. But brighter

My prints seem to have more magenta in them too than what i see on screen.

[Damien Symonds]

Concentrate on the brightness first.  Fix that, then we'll talk about the rest.

[Tarria]

do i just do a recalibration and adjust brightness?

I mean the hotspots in the pics on screen are hot but not in my prints

Yep.

[Tarria]

ok

 

[Tarria]

ok i reckon its pretty close now. 5 recals later

[Damien Symonds]

The brightness is close?

How about the other issues?

[Tarria]

i was only concentrating on the matching the hot spots. the magenta hasn't changed. Contrast is still higher on screen

[Damien Symonds]

Then the Brightness isn't low enough yet.

[Tarria]

i have adjusted the brightness and there is no more adjustment available.

what do i do next

[Tarria]

i don't think i need to do this. I think the light spots on the cheeks and forehead are about right.

[Damien Symonds]

I don't care about the cheeks and forehead.  I want to know about the OVERALL photo brightness.

[Tarria]

ok. sorted

what next? 

The colour isn't right yet
