Getting Photoshop vs ACDSee vs Colour laser calibration
Two questions - both about colour / intensity calibration I guess.
Qu. 1 - Calibrating Photoshop CS2 vs ACDSee (a simpler JPG viewer)
When I finish processing shots in Photoshop CS2 - things look okay, I may save them in JPGs, but when I open and view them in ACDSee the dark (almost black) sky background looks too bright - like the dark point has been very discernibly shifted. Open the JPG in Photoshop and it still looks good, but ACDSee shows a different result. What is causing this and more importantly how do I avoid / minimise it occurring?
Qu. 2 - Calibrating Photoshop CS2 vs a HP Colour Laser Printer
The shots look nowhere near as good laser printed at 600 DPI (on plain paper) as on the screen. Dark point is wrong, red tones are far muted as examples of what is wrong. What is the best way to calibrate your screen / colour palette or what ever is causing this so that on the screen I can show a very close approximation of what a colour print will look like?
Many thanks!
