kenghor Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Just to check with fellow EOS 300D users:<br> Does your Photoshop opens up nicely exposed images from your 300D? I shoot in the 300D default setting Parameter 1. Images looks properly exposed on the camera LCD and the histogram looks good. But once I download it to my computer and open them up with Photoshop, the images are grossly underexposed and I've brighten them up.<br> Am I missing something?

basscheffers Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Probably a not very well calibrated monitor, maybe made worse by a bad ICC profile assigned to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliver_s. Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I'm with Bas on this. Calibrate your monitor, and things may change a lot. (I hope you still have the original files of the images you modified.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erb_duchenne Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Could your LCD (camera) be set too high on brightness? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormegil Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 As I understand it, Photoshop attempts to compensate for the monitor, and displays the pictures "correctly." It determines how much compensation by reading the monitor ICC (color profile). If your color profile is off, then Photoshop will compensate incorrectly. This wouldn't affect a web browswer, since they wouldn't attempt to compensate for the image (incorrectly or otherwise). One way to test may be to open up the file in Photoshop, and under View (I believe), uncheck Proof Colors. This should turn off Photoshop's attempt to compensate for the monitor. If the colors come out correctly, then that means your monitor ICC profile is off, and you should recalibrate your monitor to create a new ICC (using Adobe Gamma, at the very least).

valliesto Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Couple of quick thoughts: Are you decoding raw files in to 16bit TIFFs with the linear option? If so this would explain your problem exactly. Do the histograms look the same in Photoshop as they do on the Camera LCD? What happens if you open the images with a program other than Photoshop? If they appear fine then there is a problem with your PS settings. Do other images look fine in PS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura2 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Thank you! Someone else with my problem! I am having the SAME EXACT PROBLEM. To be honest, my monitor is calibrated VERY well...I have no idea what to do either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
