[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 240816, member: 11881"] I suggest you find a local photography store that will print your photo unedited, NO auto correction (which is why said a photo store). Then adjust your monitor, whichever monitor you plan to work from, to match the print. DO NOT worry about how the internet world is seeing your photo's as every monitor will be different and you can't control it. Then print various photos and compare to your monitor. For my photos, if the print is well lit and colorful it will pretty well match my monitor. However, if I am printing off a black and white I know I have to find what looks right on my monitor and then bump it up a bit so that the print matches. I suggest doing this experimentation before you have a print you really want to print as the frustration level can go through the roof when you really need the photograph to be right and you don't have the time to play around.
