Monitor Calibration & specifically *brightness*
I have a BenQ senseye+photo LCD monitor which I have calibrated in my editing software etc...
My problem however, is that my prints from the lab, although are fine colour wise are coming back dull. For instance I recently did a a location shoot for a toddler group which involved 15 minute slots for about 20 families over the day on my own (I know I must be mental!) using a high key, white paper backdrop, tungsten softboxes etc. I had a laptop for real time proofing on the day and after editing and adjustments on my monitor at home the images were great, uploaded to my website, again looked great. After getting orders and using an online lab for prints the results are a different matter.
Colours are fine - what was a 'high key' image looks decidedly grey and dull in the print.... I wondering if anyone has had the same issue? Do I have my brightness set too high? On screen images are crisp and white, prints are dark, dull, grey and I can literally see footprints and marks that do not show up on the screen. Basically I'm having a nightmare
Any advice welcome lol
