Damien Symonds Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Earlier you said that the screen is too green compared to the prints. Is that still the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarria Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 no the prints have obvious magenta in them. I can see it now on the screen too but its not as prominent as the prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarria Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 and the prints are more orange in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 12 minutes ago, Tarria said: no the prints have obvious magenta in them. No they bloody DON'T!!!!!!!!!!! When are you going to purge this from your head? If the prints are more magenta than your screen, it's not because the prints have too much magenta, it's because the screen doesn't have enough magenta. The prints are what they are. They are your benchmark. (If you say "But I don't like the prints" I'm going to reach through the screen and slap you so damn hard.) 2 minutes ago, Tarria said: and the prints are more orange in general. NO THEY'RE FUCKING NOT. The prints are the prints. The screen is not orange enough. From this we can deduce that the screen is too cool. So, calibrate again, making it a little warmer.

Tarria Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) i think you are wonderful. We could actually be great mates ( in the frank department) lol Oh yeah that's what i meant!! Ok so i'm a little unsure how to do that.... Change to the warm setting to try? What about the Magenta i need to add. How? oh and..... i don't like the prints....

Damien Symonds Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 5 minutes ago, Tarria said: Ok so i'm a little unsure how to do that.... Change to the warm setting to try? That's right, choose the next warmest setting and give it a shot. 5 minutes ago, Tarria said: What about the Magenta i need to add. How? Sadly your calibrator gives you no control over magentaness. So we have to cross our fingers and hope that the warming helps. 6 minutes ago, Tarria said: oh and..... i don't like the prints.... Slap! Do you understand our goal here? We have to make your screen match your prints, so that you can see exactly what your prints are going to look like BEFORE you print them. So that you no longer have prints that you don't like.

Damien Symonds Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Ok, phew. So, did you recalibrate warmer? How's the comparison now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarria Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 a bit better but still not pink enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Darn. Ok, now comes the tricky part. You have to go into your screen's custom colour settings, and fiddle around to see if you can get a better match. Presumably you'll need to lower the green value a bit, to introduce some more pink. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this. This is vague and murky science, I hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarria Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 so i adjusted numbers in RGB sliders on screen adjustment menu. then ran spyder again. Is that right? Red 200 Green 210 Blue 255 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 That's the idea, yes. How's the result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarria Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 It's pretty good. I see i prob need to adjust brightness up a smidge. So I'm not supposed to do anything with the spyder program or settings other than run it after adjusting screen?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarria Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Forgive me but What on earth does the spyder do then????? How was outlander? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 What it always does. Reads the characteristics of the screen and creates a profile (a description file) for Photoshop and other colour-managed programs to use so they can display colours correctly on it. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/09/all-about-monitor-calibration.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarria Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Thanks that makes sense now. Does photoshop use the lastest created profile since i did a crazy amoubt yesterday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
