The pictures on my camera look paler (less saturated?) on my computer screen than they do on the camera screen. Is this because one screen is LCD(camera) and the other is Plasma? Also, on the computer, the photos appear stretched wider than they do on the camera screen, is this because the laptop has a widescreen diplay?
Also, when i get them dveloped, will the colour be the brighter or duller version?

ReplyDeleteIt may well be that your computers monitor is not calibrated properly.
ReplyDeleteThe LCD on your camera should provide a close approximation of what your camera captured when you pressed the shutter release.
If your computers monitor is so much different than the image you see on the camera, all you can do is calibrate your monitor ... and that is a little costly. EyeOne and Spyder make such calibration tools, but they will cost you over $ 200.
When you get your image files printed, they will look more like what they look like on your cameras LCD
Usually Camera screens are adjusted for vivid colors. hence the darkness on your camera screen. However, you determine the settings on your laptop screen. It is possible to get the same color depth by adjusting the brightness/contrast on your laptop screens.
ReplyDeletePhotos should not appear stretched too much on your computer. A widescreen does have an effect on the photo stretching, it still is not noticeable to the amateur eye. The stretching might also be due to the software settings that you have for viewing these photos.
Computer monitors are calibrated for the Internet (colors are usually enhanced)....therefore, pics seem different than when viewed on camera OR when printed. For a real look at your pics, if you have a TV with a card input (or USB input), view on TV! Otherwise, print out a photo, compare to monitor and you should have a good idea of what future pics/prints will be like OR you can spend about 100.00 for a monitor calibration kit!
