Hi all only started to try to take decent photos since the first lockdown, cc welcome as looking to improve, taken with Pentax K 70 and 55-300 and 16-45 lens

Thanks for that very interesting video , only problem now have a touch of printer envy

viewfinder, unless low down, getting on a bit now

Pentax K-70 here, brought a second-hand K-R on ebay , liked it so splashed out on a new K-70 ,

Think all the delivery firms have good and bad drivers, trouble is most of them pay badly so lose the good ones, glad you got sorted in the end, waiting for a lens from another company hoping that goes smoothly

No problem , used the graphic card software to drop the brightness of the screen slightly, then in the lightroom printing adjustments uped the brightness just need to play about a bit more to up the darker parts as still finding those slightly dark, hope this makes sense

Thanks for all the help gents, seem to be getting much better prints now, I think a lot of my problem was having settings on the printer, settings in lightroom ,physical controls on the monitor and setting on my graphics card all controlling the brightness .

yes, edit to the look i want on my screen, then when printing they are much darker, would a better monitor be the way to go as mine is fairly old and basic

Thanks for the advice gents, at the moment am doing a separate edit for printing and just guessing based on the print before.

Hi all, novice here have found when printing out my photos at home the prints are a bit dark, dont want to spend a fortune on calibrating my cheap monitor, are there any easy ways round this ?

Hi new here myself hoping to pick up a few tips

thanks for the welcome
