Okay, just do your best to position yourself in the brightest location possible.

[Melinda Almaguer]

ok, will do! For the display settings.  Should I customize it ti 65k or leave to native? 

[Damien Symonds]

Leave it on Native while you're getting on top of the brightness issue.

Once you have an exact brightness match screen-to-print, then we can revisit any colour issues if they exist.

[Melinda Almaguer]

Not going well.  I'm not sure why this is so difficult for me. 

[Damien Symonds]

Unfortunately this photo doesn't tell me anything.  I need you to describe with words what you're seeing.

[Melinda Almaguer]

my prints are cooler and darker than the my screen

[Damien Symonds]

Right.  As I said, we'll deal with "darker" first.

You've got your room as bright as it can possibly be?

[Melinda Almaguer]

yes

[Damien Symonds]

Okay, then go ahead and calibrate again with lower screen brightness.

@Melinda Almaguer how did it go?

[Melinda Almaguer]

It seems perfect now as far as lighting.  I switched my desk position to be more under these led lights that I have.  It seems like my prints are a little cooler than this album that I just had printed.  I wonder if it is the LED light that I am under making it appear cooler?

I would trust prints over an album.  Make your screen match the prints if you can.
