AND DON’T FORGET… Before you start working in Photoshop, it is imperative that you calibrate your monitor.
AND DON’T FORGET… Before you start working in Photoshop, it is imperative that you calibrate your monitor. There are many monitor calibration systems in the marketplace, and they all work quite well. If you don’t have a color calibration system, use Adobe Gamma which is included with all the latest versions of Photoshop.

If you don’t have a color calibration system, use Adobe Gamma which is included with all the latest versions of Photoshop. Pay particular attention to setting the Brightness, Contrast, and Backlight (if you have it) settings. Flat panel monitors typically display images with more contrast than you will get from a print! * I use the ColorVision Spyder… It’s inexpensive and works well.
Most professional labs are very good with supplying us with consistent color. One of the best ways to guarantee consistent color and “digital density” is to frequently compare the prints you get back from your lab with the image you sent them displayed on your monitor. By doing frequent comparisons you can check both your system and your lab’s. You also will gain a “feel” for the visual differences you see on your monitor compared to the prints. In a short time, you will be able to adjust the image on-screen using your newly acquired “digital windage” to get the look you want.
