calibration

[chana]

got it

[chana]

I did it....but is saying that the calibration brightness doesn't match my target....

[Damien Symonds]

That's ok.

[chana]

ok...now I just opened the pics that I printed with Loxley and they are great...any reason why they came overexposed

[Damien Symonds]

I'm so sorry, I don't understand the question.  Could you explain further?

[chana]

2 questions: I find that when I upload my pics lets say on watsaap they are quite yellow any reason for that?

also on Friday arrived some prints and they came overexposed so I thought that was due my screen being wrong calibrated,,,,but I just opened on my screen and looks good...any reason so why the prints came wrong?

[chana]

but I still find that the calibration is not great....I opened my website and shows like a few pics are overexposes when they are really not........

 

what can we do?

 

thanks

[chana]

and the images are really really red

[chana]

im not sure what colour looks like for you but on my screen looks really red

[chana]

and abit overexposed

[chana]

anything?

 

[chana]

pleaseeeee

[Damien Symonds]

Chana, its 7:40am on Monday here.  I'm running around making lunches and trying to get my kids ready for school.  I'm answering your questions as promptly as I can, but I beg you grant me a little patience.

[chana]

Can we come back to that a bit later?  For now, we must concentrate entirely on getting a match between your photos in Photoshop, and the prints in your hand.

Is this the first time this has happened?  How often do you get prints?

[chana]

yeah overexposed yeah...

 

but Dif colouring a few  times

[Damien Symonds]

Ok, then we'd better ignore that set of prints for now.  Do you still have some previous prints there with you?

[chana]

yeah

[Damien Symonds]

Great, let's concentrate on those.  How closely does Photoshop match them at the moment?

A little bit red, but not very much.  Almost perfect.  And no, not overexposed at all.  Arguably a tiny bit underexposed, but again, almost perfect.

[chana]

so that's what's happening only screen looks really red and overexposed

some areas and some underexposed

[Damien Symonds]

So your screen is still too bright, yeah?

[chana]

and pinkish...but I guess its not too bright because by the prints is great,,,just on photoshop abit overexposed and pinkish

I guess yes screen still too bright because when im looking at some pics they are overexposed

[Damien Symonds]

Chana, I fear you're overcomplicating this.

Your screen must match your prints.  It's that simple.  If your screen is presently brighter than your prints,  the brightness needs to go lower.

[chana]

ok...I put the brightness much lower is still not helping...still I have some areas over exposed and with a red tone

thanks
