Alicia whittle Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hi, I have calibrated my monitor and had to make a few brightness adjustments manually, but my monitor has way too much saturation compared to my prints, and i cant work out how to turn it down? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Oh, that's such a tough one. Can you tell me exactly what screen it is, and which calibrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia whittle Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 sorry I have a Asus VS229 screen connected to my HP laptop using colormunki Display. there is an option to turn the saturation down but it wont allow me to select it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Have you calibrated the laptop screen as well? Is it over-saturated too, or ok? (Just trying to rule out an issue at the computer end.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia whittle Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 yes i have calibrated it and for once the laptop matches my prints perfectly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Well, that's good news, at least. For my reassurance, can you tell me how you're comparing the screen to the prints? I mean, what program are you viewing the files in on both screens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Ok, and you're dragging the PS window from screen to screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicia whittle Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 umm no, im not sure how to do that? they are connected to eachother with a HDMI cord so i just see the same on each screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Oh! Shit!!! No wonder!!!!!!!!! When you do that, both screens assume the calibration profile of the first screen (the laptop one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 You have to have them running as independent screens. In the Display control panel, have them set to "Extend" not "Duplicate". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
