Did you know for consistent colour and exposure between screen and print viewing, it’s best to edit in warm daylight? Screens emit light, where as a printed image reflects light. Having daylight on your screen while editing means you will edit to a look that will be represented in print. You can see my editing set up with warm daylight present in the room while I work, in the video linked below.

It’s inevitable that images can appear slightly different between different screens depending on their individual calibration. As a professional photographer it’s important to have my editing monitor calibrated correctly so my edits reflect the correct colour and exposure between screen and print. To make sure what I see on screen is what my clients will get if they decide to use their images in print marketing. I want your images to appear as intended no matter how you’re using them! 🙌🏻

If you’re editing your own shot images on a phone or computer screen, it’s important to first check the brightness level your device is set to and make sure it isn’t too dark or too bright. Setting at 50% brightness is safe. Screens emit light; so as you edit, your images may actually be too dark when your screen is emitting bright light. Also, editing in complete darkness is risky! If editing at night, have a warm coloured lamp or light on to achieve correct exposure level and colour as it mimics the look of daylight. Meaning your edit is likely to look more consistent between devices set at different brightness levels, and will be correctly exposed to print.
