After editing a photo in Photoshop to perfection, converting it to a JPEG and then e-mailing it to someone, the image appears way too dark on the receiving monitor. I've sent images to people using both CRT and LCD monitors, set on maximum brightness, and the images are equally dark in both cases. I'm completely new at this, so anyone have any suggestions at to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! |

The first thing that comes to mind is your monitor may need ajusting, get one of your friends to send you a pic that looks good on their monitor and see how it looks on yours for comparrison. Wayne |

Do a Shift+Ctrl+K (Color settings)
Read the first paragaph on the window that pops up.
You may have a "strange" color profile.
Good luck. |

When you FIRST installed Photoshop; did you configure your monitor with the Adobe Gamma setting in the controll panel? If you didn't run the Adobe Gamma setting within the control panel and follow the steps. That IS the best way to do what you are wanting to acheive.
Note: You should only have to run Adobe Gamma ONCE, unless you change monitors sometime down the road.
AND ASK them to turn DOWN the brightness on their monitors. AKA configure their monitors to a cooler setting. That is WAAAAAY to bright for any human to be sitting that close to a monitor for any given period of time, unless they are 90% blind. ;-)
