A tip from the PRO...listen up!

If you have never adjusted the coloring on your computer monitor since it came out of the box...chances are it needs it. Most monitors tend to have a blue cast straight out of the box. Here is a simple way to start seeing photos and websites the way they were meant to be seen! Take a photo that you have stored on your computer and have it printed. NOT ON YOUR PRINTER AT HOME, at a photo lab (Sam's Club or Walmart works just fine.) Do not use the little kiosk that spits out the photo instantly, that would be the same as using a home printer. I would suggest a photo that has sky and grass or some distinctive bold colors. Take that printed photograph and hold it up to your computer screen, preferrably during the day with natural light spilling in from the windows (more natural and less artificial light works best.) Using those little buttons on the bottom of your monitor, start making adjustments so that the screen matches the printed photograph. It will be impossible to get them to match completely, as the light on the screen is projected from behind and the light on the photograph is reflected light from the room, but it is possible to get them close, and for some, anything is better than what they have now! So, do this, and then when you view your photos online, you have a better chance of seeing them how they will be printed! Good luck!
