I looked at these picture (this picture) on someone else's monitor, a monitor that "looked" better than the good monitor I have on my laptop, and the one I do my corrections on. The pictures looked completely burnt, and very pale. (The girls in this picture ARE pale, so that's not what I'm talking about - they looked overexposed.)

This is an outdoor picture (obviously), on a dark, overcast, rainy day. I used a flash. This particular picture is layered. I slightly darkened the background before I erased the top layer of women to bring out the original. Thank god it wasn't a white wedding.

I just need some blunt, honest comments as to how it looks on a good monitor. Please! I'll have do do something before I start printing them.



Thanks!

Looks fine to me on my calibrated monitor...not that i'm an expert or anything.
 
It looks good in my Spyder2 Calibrated Dell 2405FPW monitor. When I ditch the Colorvision profile it looks terrible.

This is the reason I calibrate my monitor at least every 60 days.

I also learned to calibrate it with the same lights on I usually have on, as the latest Colorvision software calibrates this too. Makes a big difference.

Hi,
My monitor is calibrated at 2.2 gamma and 6500
On my monitor it looks excellent.

moire on the skirt indeed. Ladies look almost pasted into the background but even on this cheapass, uncalibrated laptop it doesn't look too palen.
 
It looks good on my system. The green is perhaps a bit oversaturated, but other than that, I would say the colors are good.

I'm glad people are saying that this looks good, because it looks spot on on my monitor. This gives me some confidence that my monitor is calibrated right :)
 
It looks good on my Spyder 2 calibrated monitor too. Possibly just a hair overexposed, but not by much. However, they almost look like cardboard cutouts against the background for some reason. Maybe it was the direct flash.
