![]() Okay....I'm hoping that I can describe this all out properly and that someone who reads this thread can help me out. I got a Spyder callibration tool and calibrated my monitor and it looks a little red to me, but, meh - I don't know whats right anymore. Here's what I did to test things out. Ordered the attached photo from two Labs (Nations Photo Lab and WHCC) pre-calibration and selected auto color correct. Nations came back looking great (actually looks like the photo on my now calibrated monitor) - WHCC came back looking a little more pink/grey if that makes sense. Then I calibrated my monitor - made sure my PSE was set to sRGB, selected "auto levels" and saved the photo. Re-ordered it from WHCC with no color correct and it came back looking like it has a slight green tint to the -what is supposed to be - white floor. (I haven't gotten the test print back from Nations with the no color correct). My monitor leves are R - 99, G - 95, B - 100. I'm using 6500 K daylight bulbs in my working area. So - if I raise the green to 100 then it looks more like the non-color correct version of WHCC - but doesn't look like the color correct of Nations. And DEFINITLY doesn't look like the color correct version of WHCC. Question - what would you do?? Leave the G at 100 and ONLY order non-color correct from WHCC? With a properly calibrated monitor - shouldn't both color correct & non-color correct look exactly the same? as well as look exactly the same as the photo on my monitor? Thanks in advance for your help - and sorry that this is my 3rd stink'n thread on this issue.
