Hi
Just joined up. Trying to teach myself how to use a dslr properly.
I have been using Panasonic G series cameras for just over a year starting with a G1 and finishing up with a GH2.
I now also have a used Canon which I am trying to get the hang of.
If anybody reads this, could I ask for some advice?
I have one big problem with my photography. My printed images bear no relation to the images on my monitor. I have recently changed to an Apple IMac and changed my printer to a Canon MG6150. However the edited image on my monitor is not reproduced by the printer. I have tried different brands of photographic paper and printed photos via different programs.
Is the simple answer to this, that my monitor needs calibration? What confuses me is that the monitor image seems to be very true to life, with regards to colour etc of the image taken.
Is the Spyder generally regarded as the best product for the keen amateur, and if so, which model for more than one screen?
If my printed images are not coming out correctly, it is defeating all my efforts to produce respectable photos, and I may as well use a camera phone if I intend to do no more than view photos on my monitor.
Anyone who has had this problem and can pass on the benefit of their experience would be greatly appreciated.
