Step-1 (very important): Tell Walmart to turn off "auto color correction" when they print your photos. now, with the monitor adjusted, can do post processings to look like the prints.
make notes of the final adjusted settings, so can keep as reference for the future. now adjust the monitor (brightness, contrast, colours, etc.) to look exactly (or as close to) like the printed picture.
pull that same image that was printed up on the computer & monitor. (before doing any adjustments to the monitor, make notes on the original settings, so can put things back to the original state). Obtain a monitor calibrator and use it while this will mainly adjust the colors on the monitor, which is very good, this usually also will set the monitor brightness as well.īut with experience, you’ll learn to “see” your print on the monitor: you may end up brightening shadows greatly as well as pushing up the brightness of the images as far as you can without harming highlights.
The kind of bulbs you use will be a problem, and at the very least, the color temperature of the bulb should match the color temperature of the monitor. Take a good print that’s not too dark, put it in the box, then pull up the digital file on the computer and adjust the monitor to match the print. You can obtain a box for a print, set next to your monitor, and illuminated bright enough as if it were on display on your wall or in a magazine. Getting really good results is expensive though. One thing you can do is to set the brightness of the monitor as low as possible while still seeing the full range of tones as shown on this webpage:Įvery block of color should be visible and distinct from its neighbors. That is rather dim if you can imagine this. The only way you’ll get an exact match is if the brightest white on the monitor is no brighter than a white piece of paper sitting next to your monitor. There is an option to set brightness and contrast, but I don’t know what levels to set it to where the picture on the computer screen will match what gets printed. I’ve been told by others here that this is because monitors are usually set too bright, thus making a person think their photos are bright. Many of the photos I took in the past have come out looking dark when I printed them at Walmart, yet they look okay on my PC.
