The comparison

Now that the calibration is finished, it’s time to check the results, by comparing some prints. I explained this process on this page.

Satisfied with the print match? Great! Go here >>

So it looks like my newly calibrated monitor is a tiny bit brighter than my prints from the raw class, pre-calibration.  I’m going to check again during the day tomorrow or see if it’s my room lights. However, I do like my monitor better now and I even like my images better. But if my prints were the same as my monitor pre-calibration, what is the benefit on now being calibrated (and lighter than my prints?) I’d love my prints to come out how I see them on my monitor now. Will they now arrive the way they look on my calibrated monitor? Thx

Then calibrate again, with lower brightness.  Your screen must match your prints EXACTLY.

[365andBrand]

ok. will do. but what if they were exact before i calibrated? 

[Damien Symonds]

Doesn't matter.

[365andBrand]

sorry if this is a dumb q: lower brightness in my screen, or to the 90cd/m2? 

[Damien Symonds]

If you calibrated to 100cd/m2 last time, then yes, calibrate to 90 this time.

[365andBrand]

no i calibrated to 80

[Damien Symonds]

Then calibrate to 70 this time.

[365andBrand]

i did 80, as per the instructions, but the other choice is 60

Sorry, use 60 then.

[365andBrand]
