Michelle Pena Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) I already have the 5000k and 800 lumens bulbs and still same problem. I had them before the 4100k bulbs.

Damien Symonds Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 You have to make your room lit the same at night as it would be during the day. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Pena Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 ok I'll change them again today. So then should I calibrate tonight with the 5000k bulbs Or change the bulbs first then calibrate ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Pena Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 What do I need to do first to make the prints match ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 The lights. It's possible that your screen already matches your prints, you just don't know it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Pena Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 OkI found some LED that were 5000k and 1600 lumens or do I need a specific kind of type of bulb or CFL ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I'm also not crazy about the light next to the couch. Those tones on the globe can cause a color-cast and also kill some of the light: You want them to be like your other lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Pena Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 I will not be using this. I will use the 4 in the over head light fixture and depending how bright it is I'll be using a couple more in one of the two bulb lamps or both two bulb lamps.

Michelle Pena Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 So I found over at my local Home Depot 5000k at 900 lumens is the highest they had. They had higher lumens but at 2700k , yuck. I'm using 4 bulbs in the over head fixture and two lamps with two bulbs each. My prints look better ! It's still just a tad dark but a huge improvement the prints are still warmer but not by a whole lot. I'm currently calibrated at d50 native lumens. Do you think I need to try re calibrating or find brighter bulbs , perhaps online somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Maybe now is the right time to try recalibrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Pena Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 Ok. I know you've answered on many many occasions. Should I keep the lights while calibrating ? And which point should I start at ? Since I am at already d50 and native lumens ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just follow the instructions, they'll guide you about this. 2 minutes ago, Michelle Pena said: Since I am at already d50 and native lumens ? Lower the brightness of your screen to match the prints, then calibrate again just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Pena Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 OK I'm not quite understanding. So lower the brightness first before calibrating ? Because its already quite low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Yes, but didn't you say that your screen is still brighter than your prints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Pena Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Yes if you can re read I said the prints were a tad darker but not bad compared how it was. Edited August 18, 2020 by Michelle Pena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Yes, but still a tad darker. So lower the screen's brightness so it matches exactly, then calibrate again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Pena Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) OK so this weird. I updated the profiler and opened up your instructions to start process. Well it didn't give the options in step two and three. Like it did not show the option to pick out measurement size like the small, medium , large and it didn't ask me to adjust brightness?? You know anything about the update? Prints are warm by the way. Brightness looks good surprisingly even when it didn't ask me to adjust it .

Michelle Pena Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 Did you see the screen shots? It looks different. Maybe they are warmer than the screen because something is not right with the new update ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
