MamaMonkey Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hello! I have been trying to fix my backdrop with gradients by watching your tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqAl2NxoBc4) but I keep fudging it up. Here is my SOOR, and what my image looks like with my gradient...Help please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Gee, is your calibration up to date? This is quite dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMonkey Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Just calibrated on Monday with a colormunki display. It did have me turn my monitor brightness down to 20 to get the luminance in the zone (white luminance set to 100). I followed your instructions, but it's possible I botched it. I have a dell inspirion laptop tethered to a dell u2412m. I chose white LED for technology type... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 How was the result? I mean, does the screen match your pro lab prints accurately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMonkey Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Yes it looks good. I think the print looks more vibrant but it's very close. You made me paranoid, so I asked my husband how he felt about the test match too. Do you feel I should up the exposure on this photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 No no. If you're happy with your calibration, and you like how the photo looks, then what I think is irrelevant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I'll have a play with the background, and get back to you. It'll be a little later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaMonkey Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Amazing!!! Could the left hand side be lightened a tad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Well, the further you move from the existing tones, the more risky it becomes. More risk of halos when masking, I mean. How about this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
