Editing Question - screen angle???
Editing Question - screen angle???
I have a feeling this is not the best place to ask, but I don't know
where is ‹ and I hope I can ask the question in a way which makes sense
to you:
When I view a pic on my screen (typically in Macintosh's iPhoto or in
its Preview app), it will look different (the lightness/darkness,
brightness) depending on the angle at which I tilt my laptop screen.
Assume that I view the pics at the angle at which my screen is
usually/normally tilted for my use ‹ a little more than 90°. If I
adjust the picture to look good to me at that angle, it is going to look
different (generally lighter, overexposed) if the screen is tilted
forward to 90°.
What's the most "real" for printing purposes?
If the picture is printed based on the tilted adjustment, it's going to
look overexposed, I'm thinking, but viewing them on screen is what I
mostly do.
Tell me you think you understand what the heck I'm asking.
Thanking you for your patience -- and a pointer to a more appropriate
group if one is warranted.

I think the best way round this is to print out a pic and then stand
it next to the scree, tilting the screen til you find the best match.
Obviously this could be painful in use but you may also be able to
adjust the colours etc on your screen so that they match the printout
in your best position, which is probably the best move as then each
printout should then match what you see on screen.

Re: Editing Question - screen angle???
I feel that looking at the screen at a 90 degree angle would be best.
You should also check the contrast and color setting of your laptop to make
sure that the settings are correct. That could have a big impact on how the
photo looks on the screen. I don't know how to do that that on a Mac. Note:
I am not talk about any high end color management products here. The idea is
just to get your settings close.
Good luck.
