I have been using a Lenovo W700ds laptop, which has a built in rite/pantone Huey color calibration for a couple of years now. Every couple of weeks it asks for you to perform a color calibration which I do religiously. I have never printed any of my images; just post them on my website, up until last month. I had printed out at Bay Photo several large images which came back totally underexposed, and the colors seemed too warm as well. I thought it was a problem with the printing company but I happen to check my website on a friend’s computer and almost all my images are underexposed and the color seems too warm to boot. On a side note I also convert to profile sRGB for my website and email and RGB1998 for print as that was requested by the printing company.
I can make slight adjustments to the Huey calibration software such as Gamma 1.8, 2.20. 2.40 also a color temp adjustment of d50, d65,d75. I’m currently at the middle adjustments for both gamma and color.
Should my first step be to adjust the gamma to 2.40 to make the screen darker and change the color temp to d75 to make the screen cooler??
Thanks much for the help
The depressing part of this is I have to go back through all my images and adjust them to the new setting. Ugh! I just don’t want to have to do this several times.
