[QUOTE="FastGlass, post: 417330, member: 13822"] I did do the calibration. But through what the computer/ monitor has to offer. Not really convinced it's the calibration that's the problem.I realize other calibration tools are better but had no reason to pursue them till now. The problem I'm having is the backdrop I used was black and was set at 8' tall, it's highest. I set up the lights so that the background fell into complete darkness. But the top of the background is not out of the frame. I'ts a foot down from the top of the image. The stage I set up to shoot also had a black curtain which I set up against. When viewing the images you can very slightly see the top of the backdrop against the black curtain. Didn't notice while shooting. When I adjusted the shadows down in Lightroom it eliminated the that area so it disappeared till I stood up from my desk chair and it appeared while looking at the monitor from a slight angle. Also could see it a little more once I up loaded the images into Meridian. Not sure if better quality monitors eliminate the varying brightness effect I see. I think I'll wait to get a print back and compare it to the adjustments I made and see at what angle is best to view the monitor. I always assumed straight on was best. [/QUOTE]
