topic Screen Calibration - Problems (?) with Vaio 995MP in PCs & Accessories https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/screen-calibration-problems-with-vaio-995mp/m-p/36957#M129221 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I do alot of digital photography (www.imagesoflife.co.uk) which is mainly monchrome output. I have both my desktop and Vaio 995MP calibrated using Gretag Eye-One software. However, as I have found out recently it seems the screen on the Vaio is too light. This has come to light (no pun intended) where I have output to a couple of calibrated Fuji Frontier printers and also seen images which I have created on the Vaio but viewed on the desktop are too dark by approximately 1 to 1.5 stops or 30-40 points on a midpoint curve in PS.<BR /><BR />I took the laptop back to the guys who calibrated the monitor and asked them rerun the calibration and it came up the same - too light.<BR /><BR />The profiles are loaded properly and can be seen using Control Panel-Display-Colour Management. I am running XP Pro if that helps.<BR /><BR />As a get around I can run an action through PS that bumps up my images by 35 points to give me the tonal range I want but that is only a short term measure.<BR /><BR />Any ideas?<BR /><BR />Gareth<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 22 Apr 2004 20:11:19 GMT Gareth_Lock 2004-04-22T20:11:19Z Screen Calibration - Problems (?) with Vaio 995MP https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/screen-calibration-problems-with-vaio-995mp/m-p/36957#M129221 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I do alot of digital photography (www.imagesoflife.co.uk) which is mainly monchrome output.
