The subject of colour is a good one. I was editing a batch of photos on my laptop last night, these were taken on my Lumix & were shot in RAW.

After adjusting the white balance,& colour slightly I thought they looked about right, ie; the colour was correct as per the location of each photo to the best of my memory.

However when I transfered the saved files onto my main PC, the colour looked overcooked & I did not like it. So it's pretty aparent that what we are viewing on computers differs to quite some degree between various screens & I don't just mean between LCD & CRT as all mine are LCD.

Anyone else come up against this?

Computer screens can be callibrated for the purpose of viewing photo's and therefore rid this problem

If you think its your screen settings thats off, a quick fix without messing about that often works is to open the menu and look for "Restore factory defaults"

Ha ha, I tried that first! Then looked at a few different screens, quite some differences.

Bit of a ****** though when trying to edit your RAW files & like Roy has found they look totally different from those in the camera LCD.

The management thanks you for your co operation.
