It’s super important to calibrate your main monitor when doing image work. I’ve known that for years, and I do so regularly. It’s also important to calibrate the monitor on the laptop. It’s not as accurate but it’s still important to do. I know that, I knew that, so why didn’t I do that? A million excuses among which was that the laptop was brand new and I only got it 2 days before we left. I’ll never leave home without calibrating the laptop again. I posted that image from the first day in Arches that was worked on in photoshop on the laptop. So you don’t need to scroll down here is what that image looked like straight from the laptop:
Image done on Laptop
That was Not what I had seen on the laptop…to me the image is way too saturated, contrasty and dark.
This is more of what I saw:
Redone Image with Calibrated Monitor
Much lighter, less yellow and red and full of contrast (and yes a different sig since for some reason photoshop on my XP home system doesn’t have as many fonts as my Vista laptop) and overall much more realistic.
