Monitor setting

[ME]

Is anybody know how to adjust monitor (color,brightness,contras) so what I see is same as what you see?

Hi Me, my CRT monitor is setted on:
Brightness:50
Contrast: 100
Color:9300K

That's mine, have a good day

Wishfull thinking ME! Unfortunately they are different, even if I set two different brand monitors up side by side and run the Adobe gamma calibration, one will be greener or more blue or.................... I think the Adobe system has you set up the brightness to 100% or 0% can't remember, and adjust contrast and them there is the color swaths where you squint and adjust to where you can't tell the center apart from the border. I find being really drunk with blurry vision works best for this! LOL

If someone knows of a good freebie calibrator, I am sure it would get put to good use. Of course if you are printing out your renders in house, it is probably more important to get your own scanner, printer and monitor close than worry what others are seeing, things like light level in the room effect it.

regarding color calibration you can use the picture the ballastic publishers prefers for the artworks to be published in their books. i have the picture but still did not set my monitor with that. i like a bit less bright monitor, since, bright screen hurts my eyes. i always use a contrast value closer to 0 or hardly 20-30 region. for final rendering or composition i use a different monitor with the brightness and contrast set to optimum.
how do you think regarding my process of working?

Thanks for respone!
I know it's imposible to got what I see is the same as what you see. But I hope it's posible to get what you see it's almost the same as what me see.

Let's start the game. please don't change monitor brightness and contras. just look at the image and answer the question.
1. From top: You can see black ellips inside black rectangle start from which coordinat? (mine:H-16)
2. From button: You can see white ellips inside white rectangle start from which position? (mine:L-1)



Just whan to know how bright is your monitor setting

The instructions are a little difficult for me, since perhaps only two boxes are black or white and the rest grey, but I will name the ones where I can start recognizing clearly the form inside of the box (grey).

16D & 1M

16D & 1M ? is too bright for CRT monitor, so I guess that you're using LCD monitor. Right ?

PC or Mac makes a big difference, too. Typically if what you see is too dark your on a PC and the posting party is on Mac. The opposite if your on a mac, the PC images is too bright. It has to do with native Gamma of the sytem/monitor

One needs to get the best calibration possible, of course, however there are many other factors after that.
*Many VFX-film-compositing people use a "dark surround" environment. Dark like going to the movies.
*People who do print work usally a brighter environment
*The color temperature & nrightness of the lights in your work area even paint on the walls can change the brightness and color of what you see.
*How well adjusted the actual image is. Blacks actually being black and whites being whites....A well adjusted histogram (levels or curves in PS for example)

We all do our best to get images to display correctly on the web. It takes work and expereince to get it right, imho. I check my images everywhere I can on other systems, displays... in an ongoing attempt to make sure I'm putting out in the "sweet spot" for all. The best I can do For the images that don't display right, normally save them and open in PS, check the histogram-adjust the levels so I can determine if it's a display issue or a less than desirable image. That's how you know and many times the only way to actaully see the image LOL Conversely I will view my images in my web browser and make adjustments based on that display, not what I see in PS....working in color spaces and monitor calibration still hurts my brain, then getting images to 'print' the same color....aarrrrgggggg. To be honest, I'm calibrated to print and make 'certian' adjustments for the web LOL

Nope, CRT Sony Trinitron Multiscan G500 21", I at times wonder if I am running it to bright, but that is where the calibration programs I have used put me.
