Frustrations & Confusion
Posted by Woodrow
As you all know I photographed Ashley & Billy's engagements a few weeks ago. Well I was processing the photos and adjusting the colors and on my screen they looked great, exactly what I wanted. I got them printed and they don't look nearly as good on as when they were on my screen. Now I have encountered this before but never to this extent. At first I thought that it was the printing but later found out that my screen is lying to me.
I have never been a fan of using pre-bought actions because I feel that it creates lazy photographers, but I am beginning to rethink my argument. I think that it helps photographers get what they want and have a truer color balance regardless of the screen. Below are some of the pictures I took, I'm not sure how they will show up on your screen but they look good on mine. I am going to process these same pictures using actions and see what the difference is. I will post those results once I am finished.
