I'm really struggling at the moment.
I'm editing my pictures on my laptop at home in the correct colour space (I believe) and submitting them. They look like what I am aiming for! The pain starts the next morning when I get in to work and view my submission from there. To my eye there are the following differences when viewed at work:
- they are darker
- they are more saturated (I think)
- they do not appear to be as sharp.
This is driving me nuts.
 See my Personification entry to get an idea of what I mean. I have the same problem with my entry for Bad, and now my entry for Fruit&Veg looks seriously unnatural.
Obviously I need to sort out my laptop calibration, which will take care fo the darkness issue, but what can I do about the other problems?

When you go to a voting page and see the white to black blocks under the images.... can you see every block? If not, use that as a base to manually calibrate your monitor. Then try to get the same balance at work. That's the only way you can truly compare the two. (unless you wanna buy a nice calibrator)

I can from work. I'll check the same on the laptop when I get home tonight. I guess if my images are too dark for everybody else then I should expect to see the white squares on the left merging into each other. Correct?
Edit to add quote.

actually the black squares on the right will appear the same shades.
you might see the last three all as black.

No, the black ones will appear merged.

Okay - I'm still struggling - although I think I'm on the right track.
Any advice on these settings:
especially what do you guys have gamma set as?
The Windows Adobe gamma wizard helped not at all. |

| I've only just noticed that the last 2 or 3, can't see them to tell, black blocks all merge into one. I've tried all the various controls on my monitor and i still can't see them. How odd? |
