[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 311897, member: 9240"] I print from Photoshop, and it's my experience that I need to bump the midpoint level to 1.2-1.3 from the reference image (I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina, calibrated with SpyderPro). I don't strictly brighten because it blows out the highlights. In LR you'd want to go to the Tone Curve section (assuming you haven't messed with it yet) set the curve to Linear and bump the lights and darks about +15 to +30 each depending on the shot. You'll get the hang after one or two test prints. Every monitor is different, as is every printer, so it's going to take you a bit to figure it out. Are you printing them or someone else? If you're sending it out I highly recommend you use Nations. Provided that you have calibrated your monitor they can send you an ICC profile that you can use in the Soft Proof function in LR to check how it will look on their printer. [/QUOTE]
