sidd - think i would have done more like this.. excuse the rough edit, small image and all.. I think the messy hair really lets down the photo though.

hmm her skin is a little pink now that I can see it on my work PC.. but yeah, i'd take the white glow out of it is what I was getting at.

on my screen that looks really dark

I guess this is the problem with digital photography.. Pictures always look different on various screens.

That's what I'm worried about - colour calibration tools for monitors aren't exactly cheap if you only want to do this as a hobby!

Just make it look good on your screen mate

(thats what I do!)

(although seem to have a recent issue where my home and work PCs are totally different )

[zei20l]

maybe contact the manufacturer of your screens and download the colour calibration profile thingo.........

[FST513]

Spyder 3 colour calibration is probably the best colour calibration tool but you definitely pay for it! $300 for the basic kit and then $400'ish or something for the pro kit... Worth it, if your making money from photography, but for the hobbyist/amateur, it's so not worth it lol.

I think macbook (pro's??) have there own kind of inbuilt colour calibration tool?

im going to start editing photos on my TV I think. See how they turn out.

I have 3 monitors connected to my pc at work and a picture looks different on each 1 lol

At the moment i edit on my 40" Full HD TV, i don't like it! Yes, its awesome to have such a uber huge screen, but the colours are a bit off and there not as easy to calibrate as a normal Monitor, but i still enjoy it lol.

Yes, same with me, i got 2 screens and each one is different lol.

i am using proper studio lighting like the big ones they use in film etc and they can be moved and brightened dulled etc... any tips in reducing shadow?

[GoldZilla]

I'm using a 40" Full HD TV as my monitor for my main computer, but most of my photos are stored on my laptop, and what little post-processing I've done on that (I'm still learning to use Photoshop) shows up completely differently on the TV.

[siddr20]
