    I edit my images in Lightroom and sometimes export it to Photoshop for more edits, then finalize it by exporting in Lightroom as an sRGB file since my images are printed by Mpix (which uses sRGB) or are displayed on my Zenfolio web site. Since I'm exporting all my images in sRGB does it also make sense to set the color mode in my Dell u2413 monitor to sRGB mode for editing images in Lightroom & Photoshop? Thanks and great video.

    Having matched the image using the X Rite colour checker, why do you feel it necessary to tweak the colours. Surely it's more likely at this point that your monitor is inaccurate and not the image file.

    Good stuff ! My first lessons in my photography degree course were in setting up for copying using a 5x4 camera. (BORING !!) Sounds straightforward but the devil is in the detail ! Most important, after you have correctly setup the lighting, is the 'keystone effect', and it's not always easy to get it right. One little tip I can give you is one I discovered several years later ... place a good sized (10x10inches) mirror on the stand you are going to put the artwork, then when you view with the camera ensure that the reflection of the camera is exactly centre in the view finder frame... make sense ? You probably have to try it to see what I mean !

      Normally what we would do is use some of the information in the “Profile Detail” section of the form you fill out for the name of the profile. But if there is something specific you would like you can request that in the “Other Details” section and then we can name it whatever you’d like.

    • @TheVisualCenter
      @TheVisualCenter 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great question! All monitors shift in color, contrast, and brightness as they age. Now-a-days technology is such that this happens at a much slower rate. But as the physical equipment ages it begins to degrade, granted in a very minuscule way in most cases, but that can cause the shift requiring a new calibration. Often though this shift is so minor and slow that our eyes tend to shift and adjust and get used to it. So even if there isn’t much change when you recalibrate, it is a good habit to do because you may not notice right away when it does start to shift more.
