I have ordered a book from Apple and it arrived a week ago. The photos are REALLY dark, and i would like to know if it is my fault for processing incorrectly, or their fault for printing incorrectly.

I have ordered books from Apple before (3 in total), the 1st is the old one with good colours, the other two are stupidly dark :(

Is this pic too dark? On my screen it looks fine, but in my book it is REALLY dark, dark enough to make it so that you cannot see most of the hubcap on the rear wheel.

So my question is... is the pic really dark for you too? as i just want to know whether i have to act dumb when complaining, or whether i can actually blame them :lol:


Thanks
 
Lets see a photo of the book next to the monitor ;)

It's not as dark in person, but the photo still shows the big difference i am getting! :(
 
I will retake that photo tomorrow with better lighting, as its not really a fair comparison right now.
 
The monitors have become much brighter in the newer models, so might be that, though it's not really a valid excuse on Apple's part...

I got one from Apple too (NY photos also ;)) and deliberately overexposed very slightly because I'd read about it being a problem.

The exposure was fine, but I was still dissatisfied. Be thankful you don't have the ridge problem I had. Clicky :(
 
One question that hasn't been asked yet, is if you have calibrated your monitor recently?
