Monitor Brightness for Photo Editing?

2 years 1 month ago #714650 by F Anderson
Here's a problem I've noticed.  So when I'm working on my photos on my Macbook Pro in Photoshop or Lightroom, the photos looks great.  However if I transfer my photos to my main desktop the photos look all dark, not to mention there is much more contrast.  

I've not touched any of the settings in this Macbook, so does this mean this computer is way to bright or are my other screens just way to dark?  How do you determine which is correct here?

Thank you for your help.

The first thing to do, if both machines work with the same OS,
is to make sure that you go through the Prefs > Display panel
to sync the screen before spending money on calibration tools.

Light is free… capturing it is not!
