BarbL Posted December 29, 2016 Author Posted December 29, 2016 I'm sorry. Ever since my computer decided on it's OWN to switch to Windows 10, I'm lost. I can't screen shot...as I can't find the damn thing! Ok, click both then
Damien Symonds Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Don't you have a PrtScrn button on your keyboard like the rest of us?
BarbL Posted December 29, 2016 Author Posted December 29, 2016 My Gamma and White Point are the same as yours. Shall I change the Brightness and Room light to the same settings yours shows?
BarbL Posted December 29, 2016 Author Posted December 29, 2016 Seriously cannot copy the screen to you. I do not know how as it is not allowing me anymore. I'm stuck now...again.

BarbL Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Ok, I am at Adjust Color Temperature Preset I do not know what to do. I honestly wish I knew how to send you a screen shot. Never mind. I see now all the above had been broken down. I just am to press 'next'. Geez Edited December 30, 2016 by BarbL
Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 What's wrong with your screenshot? All you need to do is hit the PrtScrn button, then go to Photoshop and make a new blank file, and Ctrl V to paste the screenshot into the blank file, then save it as a jpeg and upload it.
BarbL Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 I never had to do all that before? Plus, I don't know how to use PS...and why I was attempting to calibrate so as to take your classes. Maybe I don't know enough to do that? It has calibrated. In the dark.

BarbL Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 Immediately I can tell that my photos are still a bit warmer. I could not seem to fix that with the brightness bar.
BarbL Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 Yes, I have pretty good light At my PC
Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 And you're SURE it's not yellow light?
BarbL Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 So, if I do not have that light that I need. What do I do? Of course, get the light...but now...the brightness on my screen is zero. I'm not sure where to go from here.
Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 You didn't mention a problem with brightness. Only that your prints looked yellow? That's a colour problem, not a brightness problem.
BarbL Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 Not yellow, just warmer. I guess I am not a good judge as to the brightness? I'm trying to look at grass, faces, clothing. All of it. The faces and grass/leaves are much warmer in my photos.

BarbL Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Warmer in the photo prints than on the computer. They print darker. I chose 'warm' for the color setting; perhaps it should have been something else. Edited December 30, 2016 by BarbL
Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Oh, so the prints ARE darker than the screen?
Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Remember the brightness stage of the calibration process? The screen would have looked something like this: http://www.damiensymonds.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/23s5p14.gif Or this stage a little later: http://www.damiensymonds.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/29s5p16.gif Can you remember what your brightness reading was?
BarbL Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 It just ran through the process with different colors showing up on the screen. I don't remember that last link at all.
Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 But you saw it in my instructions, yes?
BarbL Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 Yes Some of your instructions were not on my screen...I had to skip down a few. Or yours repeated.
