photodoula Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Agh. I am so frustrated. I calibrated for the first time about a year ago. I got things as close as I could after getting incredibly frustrated but then gave up. I'm back to try again. I want it to be right. The issue is that my screen looks to red. When I compare them to the prints, the screen looks redder and brighter than my prints. I have prints from millers and prints from WHCC, both show the same results. I have an Asus VN 248 Monitor and a x-rite colormunki Display calibrator. I have literally tried every possible combination I can think of. The closest match seems to be a toss up between have it on D50 and D55 with brightness at 80. I can manually lower my brightness a bit lower and it helps some, but the redness is still definitely there in the screen. Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 If you have prints from two labs, we can rule out print error. The next thing to rule out is a calibrator fault. To that end, do you have access to a different computer you can calibrate with the Munki? To see if it turns out red as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photodoula Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 I've got a laptop, will that work okay? It's frustrating because I can tell it's so close but it feels like everything is just tinted slightly too red, and when compared to the prints it makes them look almost slightly green.

photodoula Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 I know it's hard to tell from this, but can you see that ever so slightly the screen looks to have a reddish magenta hue to it while the print looks almost like it has a greenish hue?

Christina Keddie Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Just to rule out the obvious -- you're absolutely sure that you sent the lab files with sRGB embedded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photodoula Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 I feel like this one shows it in her face and his hair. (This is a millers print, the other one I posted was whcc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
