mrsjangles Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 So colours look good, they are not as vivid in the print and the prints are much brighter, do I boost my brightness up on my display after calibrating to match that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 You boost up your screen's brightness, then calibrate again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsjangles Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 I have adjusted my screen to as high as it can go, it is wanting me to turn down my brightness in the calibration, I am guessing I ignore that and continue on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Yeah, I guess so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsjangles Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 I cannot seem to get it right. at the end of the calibration process, it seems to go through the zone scale, starting at black and finishing at white. but it doesn't appear to see pure black and depending on what white point setting I am using, the white has a tinge of pink or it will have a tinge of green. Is there something in my display settings? that can be preventing from calibrating properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Remind me what screen you have again? Is the brightness a match now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Ok, this scares me: Quote 50,000,000:1 ultra high ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio You have to find that setting in the screen's menu and make sure it is turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsjangles Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 funny thing is, when I calibrate, it will not allow me to alter the contrast setting, it goes straight onto screen brightness and stops. I will have a look. I have just been through all the settings, and cannot find anything like that. I wonder if that is something that is built in. Saw this on the net: Note:• ASCR isn't configurable under Standard Mode or sRGB Mode in Splendid. Only SplendidPlus compatible models will work.• ASCR isn't configurable under Racing Mode or sRGB Mode in GameVisual. I have mine in standard mode.

mrsjangles Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 It doesn't seem to matter what settings I use, my screen is very vivid with color. I reset it and did another calibration, I did notice a difference, but the magentas are still high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Ok, it's time to do some tests. Do you have another screen you can plug in to the computer and calibrate? If that was high in magenta too, it would point to a graphics card issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsjangles Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 unfortunately, no. I only have a laptop computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 It's ok, that will work. Plug your desktop screen into the laptop computer and calibrate it there. See if the same magenta problem exists. I should have asked this sooner - what kind of cable is connecting your screen to your computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Remember, the assessment of colours must only be done in a colour-managed program. So if you don't have Photoshop on the laptop, you'll need to install Bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
