I recently started editing on an LG OLED PRO screen but now I am having doubts if OLED is a good screen to edit given that it is is still relavetily scarce. Lately I check in two screens (the other a BenQ SW calibrated monitor) but I was curious if I am overthinking the problem.
I trust my calibrated EIZO for screen usage. Don’t overthink it.
oh old times of EIZO. give OLED screens a try. they might change your life and photo editing.
A single calibrated screen.
Thanks. i should look into that option, currently I edit combining four calibrated screens: https://imgur.com/a/DLP6JM4
Two on a desktop setup, and often to confirm, two form a laptop plus screen setup.
I use three screens. Two calibrated, with different black levels and a third adjusted by eye. If an image looks good/ok on all three then I’m happy it’s fine for the web.
Now if it’s for printing then that’s a whole other ball game. As well as RGB I sometimes have to output work in CYMK.
Is your work destined for screen or print? Either way I hope you are using DisplayPort interfaces and not HDMI.
good advice. many thanks.
I spot check on my phone. I also use a calibrated monitor for editing.
Another thing that helps is to have some known images that have great exposure and color. Then you can bring those images up, to help calibrate your brain. This can be especially helpful when editing when sun is getting into your editing room, or it’s dark save your monitor.
very good advice.
I tend for the reason you hint, not to deliver images if I can only edit with sun light around me (e.g. outside my office). I try to wait until midnight or so, so I can have almost dark room.
Get a calibrator for your display then everybody else will be based on that accurate source.
what about your phone? 99.9999% of people are going to look at your pictures on their phones with barf-yellow night-bullshit turned on.
Just one calibrated screen. But twice, one in the evening, next the morning after.
