Photoshop :: Display Brightness For Prints?
Nov 27, 2012
what the ideal birghtness setting for a calibrated display should be in order to correctly view an image as it should appear in print?
Most of the books and internet sites ive looked at recommend 120cd/m2 but on my monitor the image at this setting is much brighter than the prints from my inkjet printer.
I use Eyeonematch with an eye1 device which gives a range of luminance targets, again 120 being recommended in the software, but i found a calibration and profile at 90cd/m2 is about right in terms of a match for prints.
my question then is whether this is "correct" or am i setting the brightness too low? The image on screen is quite dim at 90cd/m2 and althought he image displays very well adn matches the print, id hate to think i was messing this up.

I have profiled my monitor and my printer. I can print from photoshop and prints match my display. When I print out of lightroom, they are not even close. I use the same printer profile and the program manages the color.

i open up an image in photoshop 7.0, it looks very very dark... (darker than the original colour). But if i open it up in imageready or other image programs, or even Internet explorer, the image looks normal again.
there's something wrong with the viewing settings of my Photoshop? i tried reinstalling but it's the same.

Developing a site for a client and i'm dumping some png's into Flash. The client reports that the images appear lighter then what he'd seen in the comps I'd provided (PSD's). I check it out and he's right! the .png's are noticably lighter than the psd versions. Why are the png's brightness changed when you save it out of PS?
i'm saving as png-24 in 'save for web'.
Is there anyway to correctly save a png and maintain brightness?

what is the best method for adjusting brightness and contrast in CS6? Is it by simply adjusting the Brightness / Contrast properties in an Adjustment Layer or is there a better way of going about it?

How do I use the gradient tool to create a blend from dark to light. I don't mean in terms of different shades of color, I mean in terms of the "brightness" feature you get under Image -> adjustments -> brightness/contrast. Let me explain: I've drawing an areal view of a build with a partially domed roof. I have a pattern that I filled it with, and now I want to add light and shading. I'd like to be able to do this by combining the effects of a gradient and the "brightness" feature mentioned above. The gradient tool alone will overwrite the pattern already filling the roof with a certain hue, and the brightness feature alone will only adjust it to one uniform shade of brightness throughout. How do I combine the desired aspects of each tool? Does my question make sense?

I've recently gone on to Photoshop 7 from Photoshop 4. Photo images appear much darker (photographically speaking about a stop) than they did in P4, or in my batch browsers or in trial versions of Elements or paint Shop Pro that I have tried. It only seems to apply to P7. I can't find a way of altering this without messing up the display settings.

I can go to Brightness/Contrast click on it and get a window that will allow me to adjust the Brightness/Contrast using sliders.
when I use Brightness/Contrast it will give me an eye dropper tool?
How do I get my Brightness/Contrast working again? I've reset my pallet locations and even re-installed the software.

It's a small issue, but one that was a no brainer in CS5 - I use Legacy Brightness Contrast about 80 times a day, and CS6 no longer keeps it ticked, I have to manually enable it every single time, and by about the 57th time of having to do this every day, it becomes a more than a little irritating. As some of you will remember, CS5 just kept it ticked once you selected it.
The new brightness / contrast is great for certain tasks, not so great for others. I, and I'm sure many others rely on the legacy version.

Someone took this photo of me with my phone but the brightness settings were set really high. I have no experience with photography, tried to fix it with picasa or other simple programs moving around the brightness setting but no good results.

Brightness/contrast only seems to have an effect on the 'background' layer--not on any subsequent layers I apply. And it only seems to be on the current docs that I am using--if I open some older ps docs from the recent past, brightness/contrast works fine on all layers...?

I try to apply Levels & or Brightness & Contrast settings to an image, it always seems to revert back to the way it was. The filters won't do anything it seems. I have Adobe Photoshop CS2. At home it did the same thing and I re-installed Photoshop only to find out it still did not work.

Photoshop is THE ONLY application that's missing the sweet slider to darken/brighten the user interface. I just discovered that even Illustrator CS4 has this ability, Premiere does, After FX does, so, what's the point? Why can't I darken Photoshop a bit? I think it's a bit more crucial to darken the UI in Photoshop than it is in Illustrator, as you're more likely to perform very sensitive color corrections in Photoshop and anything bright stands in your way,

When i was working in PS CS3, i pressed the 'b' shortcut for the brush tool. Instead of giving me the brush tool, it made the screen slightly brighter. Thinking it was strange, i pressed it alot and the screen is now around 50% brighter/blown out. Which is not good when preparing images for print!
When photoshop is open, all of my windows, whether it's firefox, or the desk top, are bright as well. As soon as i close PS, it goes away. I've reinstalled Photoshop with no luck, and the brightness factor isn't effecting any of my other CS3 programs.

I have a good pic of a model in a pink dress. It is just a fraction too dark.
I would like to brighten it up a bit.
Are there any ways of doing this other than the brightness slider ?

'Brightness/Contrast' screen becomes unexplainably absent while using my PhotoShop 7.0 in XP. When I click on 'Brightness/Contrast' the eyedropper becomes active as usual but the dialog screen with the two 'sliders' for brightness and contrast is not visible. Where is it? If I uninstall and reinstall it's OK again for a while.

I notice quite a difference in brightness between Lightroom 4.1 and Photoshop CS6.
When I open an image from Lightroom in Photoshop by rightclicking and selecting "edit in Photoshop", Photoshop displays the image much lighter.
To test things, I tried to open an image from within Lightroom to Photoshop, without adjusting any colors in Photoshop. Once saved, I went back to Lightroom, and noticed the colors were the same as the original in Lightroom. So Photoshop doesn't change the colors, it only displays them very more bright on my PC. And it's only Photoshop, the default Windows Photoviewer displays images with the same brightness as Lightroom.

I am using an image for floor in a 3D model. In the render you can see the repeating pattern of uneven brightness from 1 side to the other. Is there a technique that will even out the brightness across the image left to right or up and down.

I have some photographs where the skin of the model's leg is not of uniform brightness. Without blurring it, I have tried the clone stamp but it is very difficult to not introduce further variations in brightness.
What is the best way to make skin uniform in brightness (actually, the same color!)?

Is there a quick way to toggle between the brightness I see in the monitor and what is on the print? The image on the monitor looks great, but when I print it always seems to be 1.5 steps too dark. I know I can just keep dialing in a compensation, but is there not a simpler way?

as some of you who work in TV know, video uses color bars to set up your source material in order to insure that levels in video will be output properly.
please see the above PDF. i created the BG in photoshop, then imported it into indesign for a half-page magazine ad.
this PDF is a high-quality output of PDF. i printed it on my $99 ink jet printer just to see how it looks on paper and it doesn't look too bad.
but is there some way i can test the print output without having to get a printed proof from the print company, that will insure that the ad's colors and levels are set properly?
i guess what i mean is, is there some way that a color bar system similar to TV can be used to compare with the PDF?

I have a Dell 1907 FP Flat Panel Monitor. The controls include a 'Brightness' adjustment. I am trying to set the monitor so that I have a luminance of between 100 and 120 cd/m2. I am using a Spyder 3 Pro display calibration device to set the luminance but the device does not measure luminance. Can anyone tell me what Brightness level my monitor should be set at to achieve a luminance of 100-120 cd/m2?
