Photo Appearance Change on Other Computers. On my computer, the photos are vivid. They have great body. When I email them, and then see on other computers, they are visually underexposed looking. I have to start editing all over again. When transferring back to my computer, those I edit on other computers are then overexposed. What setting(s) do I need to change on my computer, to have my photo images consistant with other computers? Its not just one other computer, but all other computers.

This is a calibration issue. Either your computer monitor isn't correctly calibrated, or others' aren't. 'Calibration' means adjusting the monitor so that colors and brightness are accurately displayed. Here's a link to an excellent article on the subject: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/monitor_profiling.shtml I have the Colorvision Spyder. It's inexpensive, easy to use and it works well. I've used it to calibrate my laptop as well as my desktops... and it makes a huge difference. It's nice to get a print made at the local photo shop and have it match what I see on my monitor.

Hi Joyce - I will echo John suggestion about using color calibration (I use Spyder2 as well) although when I view my photos on my work computer, they do look flat. This is due to the work monitors and not my photos. Carlton

John and Carlton, Thanks for the great direction. John, I ck'd out the site you recommended. It was like a light beacon in the fog. Yes that is a must have, and what I need. Carlton, I think you are right on too. The work computer is used for ariel mapping, and it is has a different visual need. Very different! I should have asked a year ago, but better late than never. Joyce
