johnsloan Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 My question is this. I just bought a sony vaio laptop computer with a xtra bright screen. I am slightly confused as to how I should have it set up. I am just learning about icc profiles and have downloaded two, one from millers lab, and one from my local costco. My question is this, when I am working in these "spaces" the image looks rather flat. When I correct for this, it looks overly contrasty when viewing in any other program besides photoshop. I currently use pscs. Do I need to re-adjust each picture depending on the viewing environment? In other words, do I re-adjust the pic if I am to upload it to photo.net differently than I would if I were to send it to Millers for printing? If so, do I view it in photoshop under monitorRGB or something else? Please help, I am very confused!<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_doty Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I don't trust my Sony Vaio laptop screen for critical photo editing. If I edit photos when I am on the road, the images are always a little off. I do critical editing on my desktop with a monitor that is much more accurate. Color calibrating your monitor with quality software and a colorimeter well help. Colorvision is just one of several good options. If it gives you good results, use Miller's profiles for Miller's prints. Photos for the web should be saved in sRGB. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
