Hi all,
Does anybody have any advice or recommendations with regards to monitor calibration. I've found that a lot of my prints come out very dark and muddy (Not a home printer) compared to what I see on screen.
I've also noticed that photo's that look great on my screen can look a bit flat and muddy on others not good for sharing photos via flickr or when processing wedding images for friends!
I've since turned down my brightness on the monitor from full to about 1/4. This is helping but I'm still not convinced about how effective this would be for getting accurate print brightness and colour.
One more thing I've noticed...
I'm using a 27" iMac and when going through the display setup I've noticed 2 different gamma settings; 1.8 and 2.2... These produce very different screen brightness and contrast. Which is the best to use and most common across all displays?
Any advice on the subject would be greatly received.
Cheers all and enjoy the Olympics
