Photoshop :: Calibrating My Monitor
Mar 5, 2003My pictures show up much lighter at home than they do at work. Do I need to recalibrate my monitor? How do I do this to make sure that the picture isn't as dark?

View 9 RepliesI've just installed a new Dell 2408WFP wide gamut monitor and will be using it with PS photo editing. I plan to purchase an Xrite i1Display2 for calibrating this monitor. I'm a bit confused by some postings in other forums about whether a WG monitor can be properly calibrated by this (and similar) colorimeters.

When I first printed it came out dark. Then I decided to update the printer driver and print again...no change. Then I added an adjustment layer to brighten the image and print. Two problems came about: the colors all of a sudden had a lavender tint in the grays and the image was smaller.Then, I removed the adjustment layer and the size returned to normal, the darkened image returned and the color shift was gone. How can I get it to print what I see on the monitor, so that it isn't dark? Also, I printed the image in Windows Picture Viewer and it came out fine as I saw it on the monitor!

i recently got rid of my external monitor (moving around a lot) which i had set to sRGB. colors were very close to what it would have been calibrated, which is why i never bothered to change color profiles. now that i am using only a notebook (mbp), however, it quickly became apparent that the sRGB color profile made look everything quite blue-ish. after calibrating the display, all was well, however...
Â
... until i started working in photoshop. there are color shifts apparent and the hex color codes do not match up; i have never had this problem before.is there any setting in photoshop i might have overseen? as described above, it's not a problem as long as everything is set to sRGB and i use the calibrated profile afterwards; it only occurs when working with it.
how can we caliberate our monitors to work perfect with Photoshop and which gives us the exact view of images which we get after the printing.
Like mostly the colors/brightness/contrast of images on which we are working change when we change the monitors or if we view that file on other computers. So, how can we fix all this, like is there is any way through which we can calliberate all of our monitors to show the exact same result as it was displaying before ?
i´m stuck with calibrating my Dell U2711(wide gamut) on Windows7, CS6 i used it with the integrated Adobe RGB preset and a standard profile. After calibration with i1displayPro (monitor in custom preset, slight changes to reach D65 whitepoint) i got a solid ICC2 profile which seems to fill the Adobe RGB space quite well (compared them in 3D).
The point where i can't get any further is the color rendering in PS and ACR, the colors are limited to a sRGB like saturation level. I´ve set my Creative Suite Color settings to aRGB, disabled Softproofing in PS.Here is what red (255,0,0) looks like: left: proofing OFF
middle: sRGB proof
right: monitor proof

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am calibrating a new plotter in the office. I often work with color aerial imagery. How do plotters interpret the colors in an image? Does it work pixel by pixel, and if so, does it use an RGB, HSV, CMWK, hexidecimal value? Does the plotter MACHINE just "scan" the image is one "object" or does it work in batches, or "tiles"? I don't want to alter the image in Photoshop just yet, but I am curious as how the plotter MACHINE is determining the color and how bright, vivid, dull, the IMAGE is plotting at?
The other issue is that the newer plotter plots in more vivid colors than our older machines, but the difference between the 255 AutoCAD colors is less pronounced. I am concerned that adjusting the individual RGB values for each of the 255 colors won't make any difference if the NEW plotter is factory-calibrated to produce vivid colors with little difference between brightness, contrast, etc.
On a side note, I do oil painting as a hobby and I run into tinting strengths, brightness, luminosity all the time when mixing various oils, pigments, and binders
I would like to view my work as I edit it on my prime monitor on a second monitor in order to get a view of the work as I edit on the prime monitor. Is this possible?

I need advice as to, are lcd monitors now up to the task for quality editing in Photoshop.
Your expert advice, gained from 1st hand experience will be appreciated.
I've read that the best way to shop for a new LCD is to test out each model 1st - even though I live on the border of Chicago (Evanston), I don't think there is any outlet available where this can be done.
I've also read that LCD makers use differing conditions and benchmarks to rate their contrast ratios.
I'm working on a graphic for a Flash presentation. I've been working in Windows RGB proof setup. Then I realized that when I save as a JPG, it changes color. I spent a lot of time getting the colors on this abstract piece perfect, and don't relish the thought of having to go it again using the Monitor proof setup. Is there a way to convert the way the colors look in Windows Proof to be the same as it looks in Monitor RBG proof?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have calibrated my monitor with Colorvision Spyder2. Why does Monitor
RGB in Working Spaces in Color Settings dialog indicate sRGB IEC61966-2.1
as profile for my monitor instead of the profile created by Colorvision?
Does this mean that Photoshop ignores the Colorvision profile and uses
its default (sRGB?) instead?

I have been having a problem using photoshop on the second monitor connected to my mac.Here i have put photoshop between the two monitors to show the issue.Here is how my mac screen looks and this is how my second monitor [LG] looks
I have checked all the plugs and no other programs have this problem.I have photoshop CS6 and up until just over a week ago it was working perfectly fine on both monitors.
I am using Photoshop CS4 and I just upgraded to Mavericks. When I opened PS I discovered that all the palettes that normally reside on a second monitor are now all on the same monitor with my PS document and I can’t drag them to the second monitor. It seems that PS does not recognize there is a second monitor there. I can drag documents and palettes from other applications onto this monitor so it appears to be only a PS issue.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThere is an vast amount of information on this topic, that topic being LCD monitor calibration. Some LCD have presets, theater, games, etc. I want to calibrate my LCD so that if someone else is viewing my work on their monitor and they complain it is too light or to dark, I can say it is your monitor.Â
One of my LCD has two presets that are of interest 'standard' & 'sRGB' my other LCD doesn't have any presets. What is the best or near best calibration I can manually set both monitors too, if this is even possible on LCD.
I have a CS3 version on two computers. The color is way off on one although the monitor is calibrated. I have cross checked the preferences against each one, but can not find a difference. How to fix?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been running CS6 on my laptop for the past month with no issues regarding lag.
Today I decided to start using an old monitor as a second display, but whenever it's plugged in there is a huge amount of lag within Photoshop - so much lag that it is pretty much unusable.
From what I can tell, most other programs run fine with this setup (I've tried Sai and After Effects, and both are lag free).
Â
I've tried searching this issue - and there's a lot about configuring refresh rates on the individual monitors so they're the same. Tried that - makes no difference.

Any settings within Photoshop I could tweak to make it run better?

Running XP pro and CS4.
I have a 146 gig hard drive with 3 gigs of ram. Im currently using PS10 as part of CS3 to finish a job and will then be loading CS4 with the new Photoshop, which I have. I tried Vista Ultimate and after nearly cracking up, went back to XP Pro SP3. I had a Nec Multisynch CRT and decided to go for a new LCD monitora Lacie 320, which Im most unhappy with.
The problem is screen resolution. According to the Lacie specs, monitors should be set at 1600 x 1200. At that resolution, Photoshop as well as the rest of the CS, and the visuals that I create in PS, are all minuscule, and my three websites look stupid. I called Lacie tech support, and they said that I could go down to 1400 x 1050 but no further without distortion.
There are three problems: 1) Even with adjustments in XP, I still have to keep my nose to the screen at 1400 x 1050 to see PS menus, read PS help etc., and would like the resolution to be at 1024 x 768; 2) indeed, 48+ % of computer users have monitors set at 1024 x 768 or lower and will have the pleasure of seeing what I cannot see and would like to see; 3) 38 % of computer users have monitors set at 1920 x 1200 and will see my work as postage stamps,
I was wondering what people were using for a calibration tool for monitors. This is not my profession so I am not looking to spend $500+ on a calibration tool but it seems like there is some fairly good units out there for under $300.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm using CS2 but the same thing happens in CS with a Dell 24-inch LCD monitor. An inch doesn't equal an inch and I'm not sure why. If, for instance, I open a letter-sized image file and the navigator zoom control is set at 100%, the actual dimensions of the image onscreen are 6 3/4 inches by 8 3/4 inches rather than 8 1/2 x 11. I can't find a preference for this in Photoshop and think it's probably an adjustment on the monitor but haven't been able to make it right.
