Default blacks are off HELP!!!
Ok... so I use Lightroom.. everything looks great... on my screen... I post them.. I they still look great.. on my monitor... yet on any other computer/monitor the blacks aren't black and you it looks like I didn't edit them at all. I have put 3 different monitors to my computer and they all look right.. my friend looks on her computer.. they look like crap... what is going on???

Well, they look good on your computer and monitor right? But they look like crap on your friends. Is your friend's system calibrated? If not, that's most likely your issue.

It could also be a color space/browser issue.

Maybe its the settings on her monitor. Did you try to reset it to factory settings?
