Hello folks,
For those of you who do your photo work on a MacBook Pro, I'd love to ask you:
At what brightness setting do you keep your machine? Am I dead wrong to have my brightness all the way up?
I know the monitor must be calibrated as well...I figure a Spyder is the way to go?
I recently made a few giclée prints, and they looked great overall but the yellows on my magnolia warbler look a little green...I assume this is due to improper monitor calibration...the colors looked perfect on the C-Prints I made but the giclées are printing darker...perhaps that's just the way it goes and I need to lighten the file before sending it off for printing?
Can't thank you enough for any information or leads...the world of printing seems to be a whole new world of mysteries and frustrations, so I should try to give myself the best advantages possible.
Thanks again for your help!
