I have a dell inspiron E1505 running on Vista. When I do digital paintings (I use PainterX, but I also have Photoshop CS2), the colors look great on my monitor. However, when I post them to the web, everyone says they look to dark, and that I should calibrate my monitor. How do I go about doing this?

This may or may NOT be an easy fix. IF you still have it in your Control Panel you want to find Adobe Gamma. You then follow this routine selecting the EXPERT mode for a full RGB display calibration routine. OR! There are plenty of FREE color calibration routines out there. Also check your settings in Adobe Photoshop CS2. In that program be sure that you are using the sRGB IEC 61966-2.1 profile in North AmericanGeneral Purpose - 2, AND be sure and check on View>Proof Colors. Set the Gamma for 1.8 for Mac/PC compatibility or 2.2 for PC only.

I believe vns. Printer printouts and visual demonstrate unit displays will coach 2 diverse colours. some printers have colour transformations additionally. examine your printer instruction manual. now and returned you may regulate the printer yet there'll in all likelihood continually be a moderate variance. 2nd, the paper high quality you employ, will make a difference, additionally. in case you elect image high quality photographs, you ought to use image Paper, this is greater costly then primary inkjet paper. investigate some cyber web web content that could supply a greater suitable answer, perchance with particular application or something. and prefer I mentioned, use image Paper, which does make some difference.

I've been wondering about this myself!
I don't know either- but I'm watching your topic for answers and hoping someone who knows will respond... It occurs to me that you could print a few photos, compare the prints to how the images appear on your monitor, then adjust brightness/contrast until they match, but that's just a guess. Besides I think printers sometimes need calibrating, too.
