    My X-Rite i1 Display Pro came in tonight; I usually edit in complete dark so I had it measure my screen in that setting. These were my settings pre-calibration:

    Brightness: 65
    Contrast: 47
    Sharpness: 5
    Temp: 6500K
    GammaL 2.2
    sRGB

    My prints from Mpix were coming back pretty good (I usually don't have them color correct but sometimes I do) and sometimes they'd come back too dark. So I thought I'd try calibrating.

    Post Calibration in Dark:
    Brightness: 32

    The screen is sooo dark now and the prints are a tad washed out. I'll have to order some prints; some of my photos look a bit dark. I am wondering if it's just due to me being used to such a bright screen?

    What happens if I want a particular photo to be brighter and I bump the exposure up and then send it to a client who's screen is un-calibrated and it's totally over-exposed on their screen?

    The colors look great though, my screen had a green tint to it and I had never noticed before.

    When I save a JPG in PS do I export my custom profile?
