Even gray-scale b&w images look as if they were printed on a warm-tone paper although that is subtle. Images on my monitor now look darker and warmer. I followed the simple calibration instructions and tried recalibrating at least 8-10 times. But now I am more confused than ever and less confident about how my images look to others and about the entire calibration process. It was delivered yesterday and I used it to calibrate my LCD monitor. I was also informed that I my website pictures don’t have an embedded color profile but I will fix that soon. All responses were that they looked fine with the exception of a couple images but those didn't look optimal on my monitor either and I knew that they need tweaking in PS.

Then I posted a request that photographers on the APUG forums take a look at my website and let me know, in general, how my images appeared. I then looked at my website on my daughter’s monitor and they really did look bad. įeedback indicated that my website images looked fine but one photographer friend of mine said they looked really bad on his calibrated monitor. That is when I became concerned about monitor calibration. So, in desperation, I quickly assembled a Jalbum portfolio, purchased a domain and hosting and had a basic portfolio up and running within one day. I had been putting off building a website for years but a regular client of mine asked that I get something online for their buyers to view. (I have absolutely nothing against digital! So please… no lectures on going digital.) I send my color film out to West Coast Imaging for drum scanning and printing and I still do my black and white printing in my darkroom. Monitor calibration has not been a big issue for me until now because I am a large format photographer and I do not print digitally. I apologize for asking such dumb questions and I hope I don’t get blasted as so often happens in some forums with basic questions like this. I have some dumb “newbie” questions about monitor calibration.
