Damien Symonds Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Oh, sorry, on a Mac it's in a different menu. I can't remember what it's called, but it'll be there somewhere. Show me a screenshot of your available menus if you can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chana Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 hi current is 209 how do I change it? I. turn on the lights of the room...started from the begging and is showing 209... should I press update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 209 is completely outrageous. You forgot to adjust your screen's brightness to match your prints at the beginning of the instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chana Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 just did it...so how much brightness should I set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 As low as it needs to be. To match your pro lab prints. Which lab are your prints from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Great. So take that brightness way down, until you have a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chana Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 I put on 76% but the colours are pinkish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chana Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 should I update on the calibration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Sorry, yes, press "Update". 2 minutes ago, chana said: I put on 76% but the colours are pinkish Don't worry about the pinkish for now. Only the brightness at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chana Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 before I click update...my last prints that arrives...and that's the reason also why I want to calibrate they came extremely overexposed...anything to do with my calibration?

chana Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 also I put on 76% only the one of the sun symbol...correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chana Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 I put down to 70% and is still on 147 should I change also in the moon sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chana Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 No, leave the moon (contrast) exactly where it is. Keep the brightness going down. The result should be somewhere between 80 and 100. Some people have to take their screen's brightness to 10% or even lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chana Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 im up 40%..is it supposed to be soo dark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Yes. You've become too used to it being REALLY REALLY bright. So proper brightness always seems too dark at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
