question about sony vaio laptop and working with icc profiles


Recommended Posts

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>00EMXQ-26747384.jpg.99195e6b05cdb89d20ef8b6da389ca57.jpg</div>

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.
