I've been calibrating my monitor for about a year now. Before this, I had sent some photos out to a lab for prints I was to use in a photo contest. They came back with off-colors as well as blurry and sized improperly. Needless to say, they never made it to the contest and I withdraw my 'intent to submit.' After that, I started callibrating AND bought an Epson photo printer (got a great deal at B&H). It's taken some practice and tweaking but, for the last contest I entered (in January), I printed two prints twice and was happy. One of the prints came in 3rd. Stuff on our monitors always looks great. Photos seem to jump out at us and glow...all due to that light coming from behind but, once you start to put things on paper, all hell breaks loose and it's super frustrating. I have a friend who just sent some B&Ws out for the first time. Cannot wait to see the results. The move to digital from print was wonderful....immediate gratification, money saving, great results. Now, if they can only figure out a way to make it that easy to get the photos on paper without a hassel!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736872839331338787.post-2942473301347278932012-03-08T10:49:36.345-05:002012-03-08T10:49:36.345-05:00I was told the came thing about the old monitors. ...I was told the came thing about the old monitors.

I might have one in the cellar..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350701998358315747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736872839331338787.post-44530029176057504562012-03-08T08:25:38.941-05:002012-03-08T08:25:38.941-05:00Right, and I think the problem is only going to ge...Right, and I think the problem is only going to get worse since monitors seem to be getting brighter and brighter.

I look at them on my cell phone and they look pretty much the same. If I move them to the TV that I have connected to my computer the newer ones look too bright. It has me second-guessing everything.Denohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983960152660473114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736872839331338787.post-2613970336195408032012-03-08T08:18:21.216-05:002012-03-08T08:18:21.216-05:00I did notice that one of the prints that was a lit...I did notice that one of the prints that was a little darker to start with ended up being a bigger difference in darkness when compared to the original. Maybe printing somehow intensifies the darkness that is already there.Denohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983960152660473114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736872839331338787.post-3335152777009931302012-03-08T08:17:06.080-05:002012-03-08T08:17:06.080-05:00I wonder about this problem a lot and have noticed...I wonder about this problem a lot and have noticed that when I view my edited photos that are on my blog, on other computer monitors, they look different. This is especially true when viewing them on laptops, since my editing is done on a bulky 'old' Dell desktop. I reset my monitor to 'factory settings' and discoved a huge difference in all my photos, they were lighter and brighter! I think there is no way around this problem since a lot of people adjust the color, contrast, etc. to their preferences for comfort.<br /><br />Your work is fantastic, and love that you use a lot of HDR!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736872839331338787.post-48827038066292878292012-03-08T05:54:11.214-05:002012-03-08T05:54:11.214-05:00Your images do look better after calibrating.

And some look at photos on their laptops and phones. I really don't think there's a clear answer.<br />PS..

But with other prints I am quite fine (on 40x60 size) :)StreetLoungehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16996297640138731746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736872839331338787.post-59951828547437754732012-03-08T01:45:48.425-05:002012-03-08T01:45:48.425-05:00I think it must be the same for me...
