[QUOTE="hark, post: 268766, member: 13196"] I've been using the Spyder 4 Pro to calibrate my monitor, and it's been terrific. Unfortunately I let the calibration lapse and when re-configuring the settings, I am not able to get it calibrated correctly. It is an LCD monitor that only has Brightness and Contrast settings...no temperature setting. I don't remember what settings I used initially, and I've done full calibrations many times since which are still way off. Prior to this, the calibration was spot on. Since re-configuring it, the brightness is WAY off. I even set my monitor to its brightest settings, but the photos still print out lighter than my monitor displays. The colors are way off, too. Tan colors are yellow so skin tones are terrible. I know the printer is accurate--when this computer was calibrated the first time, everything printed out exactly as it was on my monitor--even when using Nations Photo Lab for printing. The problem began when the calibration lapsed. Any ideas on how to get a more accurate calibration? Thanks for any info! [/QUOTE]
