Mauribix Posted May 22, 2007 Share #1  Posted May 22, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi guys, in the past few days i met this forum, and i found it Amazing! Now i'm here to ask you to help me in choosing three pictures o' mine (made with my lovely M8 ). For those of you who don't find this boring or O.T., here is the link to my gallery: My gallery I need to choose three pictures from those to partecipate to a picture contest here in Italy. But since i'm a novice, and i can hardly be objectiv, i'm asking your help! What pictures would you choose considering three categories? People Animals Landscape  thanks a lot to those of you who will take care of my works  Best wishes to you all Maurizio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tashley Posted May 22, 2007 Share #2  Posted May 22, 2007 Maurizio, I just spent half an hour composing a reply then my browser crashed! So here is the very brief version:  A lot of the images look very flat on screen and some have strange colour casts: if this is the look you are going for, I understand but I suspect that you have a poorly calibrated system or are saving the images to the wrong colour space for web viewing, because there is no consistent look or feel - though I do not know if your contest requires prints or screen viewing.  However I like many of the shots very much. Here are my favourites:  My gallery My gallery (much too flat) My gallery My gallery My gallery My gallery My gallery My gallery My gallery My gallery My gallery My gallery My gallery  I hope that's useful!  Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauribix Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share #4 Â Posted May 23, 2007 Thanks Tim and Theo, your posts are really precious to me. I think , Tim, that you've focused on one of my dilemma/problems : i don't have a calibrated monitor! And it usually displays pictures as they really don't look like in print! Have you any ideas on how to do it without any instrument? Is there a software on the web or something more empyrical to do that? Regards Maurizio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Maurizio  If it's a Mac, you can go to system preferences > displays > color > calibrate. It does a reasonable job but in the end is not as good as a third-party hardware/software combination that actually uses an electronic eye to 'read' colours off your screen and calibrate it accordingly.  Not sure what software only options there are for PC users but someone here will know if you start a thread asking!  Best of luck  Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
