hmm her skin is a little pink now that I can see it on my work PC.. but yeah, i'd take the white glow out of it is what I was getting at.
on my screen that looks really dark :(

I guess this is the problem with digital photography.. Pictures always look different on various screens.

That's what I'm worried about - colour calibration tools for monitors aren't exactly cheap if you only want to do this as a hobby!

Spyder 3 colour calibration is probably the best colour calibration tool but you definitely pay for it! $300 for the basic kit and then $400'ish or something for the pro kit... Worth it, if your making money from photography, but for the hobbyist/amateur, it's so not worth it lol.

I think macbook (pro's??) have there own kind of inbuilt colour calibration tool?

im going to start editing photos on my TV I think. See how they turn out.

I have 3 monitors connected to my pc at work and a picture looks different on each 1 lol

At the moment i edit on my 40" Full HD TV, i don't like it! Yes, its awesome to have such a uber huge screen, but the colours are a bit off and there not as easy to calibrate as a normal Monitor, but i still enjoy it lol.

Yes, same with me, i got 2 screens and each one is different lol.

I'm using a 40" Full HD TV as my monitor for my main computer, but most of my photos are stored on my laptop, and what little post-processing I've done on that (I'm still learning to use Photoshop) shows up completely differently on the TV.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
