Hi all.......hope you're all well :D


I'm a little unsure of my screen images at the moment, If I edit and view on my gorgeous 24" mac the images pop, but when viewing on my laptop or my crt (at work) the images look much darker and less vibrant.

I was wondering if someone could be so kind as to click my flickr link below and let me know how they appear to you.....just really interested in the Cosford as I want to get some of the files printed online.

The brightness on the iMac is already on the minimum :eek:

TIA
 
This could be quite difficult!

However for what it's worth...

Sea Kings - nice and vibrant.
F86 a little dull. Clouds a little 'dirty'.
Avro - plane in shadow, but some detail remaining.
Hurricane - good.
Typhoon - good.
Red arrows - good.
Yak's - great!
Chinook - sky quite pale, but chopper good.
Red arrows two - maybe the blue of the sky could be a bit cleaner.

I am sure you will get more opinions. Hope that helps but I'm not an aircraft fan, so don't know the genre.

I'd say they're all exposed properly.
 
Thanks Guys...... :)

I can understand the comments on the Sabre and the 2nd arrows but that was pretty much how it was straight from camera. I've not done much aircraft work before so I was impressed by them.
 
It's probably just the differences in your displays as they look fine to me on my Dell 24".

At a guess I'd say your 24" is an PVA/MVA or IPS panel whilst the laptop is TN which produces far less vibrant images.

Hope you appreciate I was not making judgements, just trying to describe what I was seeing so you could see if it tallied with either screen.

No problems with your comment Graham :)

I have an eyeone calibrator but i've not been 100% sure on it tbh :D
 
The Vulcan could comfortably take a +1 stop boost on exposure. According to the histo there is a big gap to the right, if you disregard the white border. I haven't checked the others but the Vulcan really stands out as too dark. If you can't rely on your monitor calibration then at least review the histogram (without the white border clouding the issue). I would expect the brightest white clouds to be pushing near to the right hand edge.

Here it is with the +1.0 adjustment performed in Lightroom. It will actually take +1.5 before starting to clip the highlights. I've also added the histogram following the +1.5 edit.

That's great :)

Although i'm now wondering if your image is bang on and it's now being displayed a little too brightly on my mac.

I've just sent the image to my epson printer with +1 stop from lightroom2 and will see how closely it compares :)
