Hi all,
As per the title. I do all my processing on my mid 2007 iMac with the 20" screen. Right away I know the screen was less than, say, the 24" of its time, and much less than the current crop. Thats the leadin.
What I am finding, and have always found, is that when I process on the Mac, and get the photo looking as good as I think I can, and then upload somewhere, the photo that looked fine on the mac now looks pretty awful on the same screen. The colours are flat, and overall the shots are darker than they originally appeared, thus leading me to think there is something desperately wrong with my calibration... except... why would they appear horrid on screen via browser, when they looked fine prior to upload.
These are all things I don't understand, at all. I dont have access to any external calibration tools, only what comes with OSX. I'd be *really* grateful if someone could give me some pointers about calibrating correctly, and also, to explain why the differences appear even when viewing on the same screen.
Thanks in advance, screen Gurus
