[QUOTE="hark, post: 241000, member: 13196"] We really don't know how others are seeing our work. What you *should* consider doing is to calibrate your monitor so you can accurately tell whether an image is properly exposed. A correctly exposed image may not look good on someone else's non-calibrated monitor, but we don't have control over that. After reading a number of reviews, I purchased the [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/838844-REG/Datacolor_S4P100_Spyder4Pro_Software.html"][COLOR=#0000ff]Spyder4Pro Display Calibration System[/COLOR][/URL]. I re-calibrate every 2 weeks. When I print my own photos or have them printed elsewhere, they look the same as they do on my monitor. Of course, it also helps to use a reputable lab if you have prints made.
