Milena Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi Damien, i just purchased a new iMac (retina 5k, 27 inch, Late 2015). I have also upgraded my photoshop and Lightroom to the newest Adobe cloud. Move calibrated the screen with my color-munki display. Tonight I tried to edit a photo like I normally do, I did basic edits in lr, then exported to ps. I saved the image for web and uploaded to my Facebook page and the photo was completely washed out. I realised that lr was in Adobe RGB mode so I rectified this. Edited from scratch again and then I uploaded to Facebook and it's the same issue. I really don't know where I am going wrong here. any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi Milena, first, can you do this for me? http://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tsfb000.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milena Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi Damien, I just had a look and they match when I check both on my computer. The image is a bit fuzzy but colour wise they match. I think my old settings for saving to web no longer apply with the new photoshop cc. ive also just realised that my calibration is not correct. I lost daylight too quickly today be able to compare my prints to my screen so will look at this all again tomorrow. Thank you so much for your help.

Milena Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 I was looking on my phone. I always check my phone after I post a photo to see what others will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milena Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 I know Its been a long week!! But it is definitely a calibration issue. Ive checked my prints in the daylight today and the printing profile my lab sent me and my screen is significantly warmer. I have re-calibrated 5 times following your instructions to a T and spent half an hour on the phone to x-rite this morning who were not helpful at all other than to tell me the ColorMunki is a great calibrator and I am obviously doing something wrong!! At this point I'm just ready to go back to my old Mac! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Oh crap. It is a great calibrator, except when a screen is too warm. It has buggerall control over that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milena Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 do you think this will be an issue if I invest in a new calibrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Well, I was wondering if there's a lab or camera store near you where you could hire a Spyder5Elite. It would probably be the best device for your situation, but it would be nice to test it before buying, you know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milena Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Yep absolutely! I will ask some of my photography friends if I could borrow one. I will also Suss out the local labs and see what I can find. thanks so much for your advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
