Talk to me, @Gabriela.

Which calibrator do you have, and in what way does your screen not match your prints?

[Gabriela]

Omg I haven't seen this at all, sorry for that. I have color munki and I pick (my prints don't match) because non of the questions suit to me. I never printed anything yet...

[Damien Symonds]

Without prints you can't know if your calibration is correct; and without confirmed calibration you can't upgrade your class.  Please get those prints pronto.

[Damien Symonds]

Have you ordered some, @Gabriela?

[Gabriela]

HI Damian I haven't been at the computer .... 

on Tuesday I will do the prints, but which photos? the one I was practicing for white balance? 

 

true black and white? Im not sure how to create it.... to be true one

[Damien Symonds]

Any photos at all, as long as they show a range of colour.

For a true black-and-white just use my action.  Otherwise, simple a Hue/Saturation layer with the Saturation slider dragged all the way to the left.

[Gabriela]

 I will print the JPG the same photo in black and white..

 

I start preparing for tomorrow, but Im stuck how to use the action , 

 

do I have to change the background which has lock on it?.

[Damien Symonds]

Just click on the name of the action, then click Play.

[Gabriela]

I tried that but look , doesn't work

[Damien Symonds]

No, you have to click exactly where I circled.  Not the folder name, but the actual action name inside it.

[Gabriela]

that was the trick thank you I was stuck for 30min before I realised I need to ask you

 

[Gabriela]

what this warning means?? something I did wrong I just used jpg fr the printing

[Damien Symonds]

It simply means you didn't flatten your layers before saving.  It's ok, it's not a big problem.

[Gabriela]

ok and I NEED TO DO IT?  PROBABLY LATER AT YOUR TEACHING YOU GONNA EXPLAIN..

 

I got the photos..

 

do I have to have same conditions as I do the photos....?

 

I put photos on the floor so I don't have them close to monitor

 

I would say the color one are quiet similar or bit orange tone  - but here Im not sure if its just the light from PC how you mentioned

but the black and white to dark and grey tone 

 

 

[Gabriela]

greenish tone. autocorect

Would you say that the screen is a bit warmer than the prints?

Or is it a bit cooler than the prints?

[Gabriela]

screen bit cooler I would say

[Damien Symonds]

Thanks.

Sometimes that means that your room lighting is too yellow.  Could that be the case, or are you comfortable that it is nice and white (similar to daylight)?

[Gabriela]

100% white light

[Damien Symonds]

Fantastic!

Ok, follow the troubleshooting part of my calibration instructions, for when the screen is too cool.

[Gabriela]

white luminance target I will put to 90, than I  print the photos again and compare...right?

Do I have to redone the photos from start?

Hang on, what?  You'd change the luminance target if the screen is too bright or too dark.  Is that the case?

For the screen's coolness, you change the white temperature.

[Gabriela]

I think Im reading dife rent troubleshooting

[Damien Symonds]

No, that's the right page.  You need the "White Point Targets" section.

[Gabriela]

HI Damian, I calibrated the monitor, and now I will do the photos again? or just the jpg I will put on usb?
