Calibrating your monitor

[.:bHd:.]

How many of you guys have calibrated your desktop monitor? I did it like 3 times already but it still looks wrong. And if i do something in photoshop and save it afterwards, the saved JPEG looks a lot different than what it looks like in photoshop.

Each Monitor looks different.. On screen or on paper, will always look different.

You mean saved JPEG from your computer looks different in other computer?
If so, it is always going to look different in other monitor since they have all differnt specs.
But if your printed JPEG from how it looks in your monitor, that's a different story.
You could fixed this by buying a calibrater with matching monitor to have it print exact same as it appears in your monitor.

No I mean when i save a JPEG in photoshop the final output looks different than in photoshop. I think photoshop tries to match your monitor settings or something. But the same picture looks different in photoshop.. usually less saturated and dim.

Lol, you are proofing the picture wrong in photoshop. Set your proof to monitor RGB.

you need a calibration tool or you can start at 6500K as a baseline.

This is a photoshop issue. Not a monitor calibration issue. Your monitor doesn't just decide to make blue look green whenever you close down photoshop.

I got it You're supposed to assign a profile in photoshop to the same calibration as your monitor
