pierre rochon Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I just connected a new Benq 2700PT computer screen to my latop which I've been using to edit my pictures for 3 years. I realize that many of my pics on Alamy seem oversaturated on this new screen (I adjusted it as well as I could, without a calibrating device). If any of you could take a minute to look at a few of my pictures, I would appreciate to obtain feedback (mainly to know if some images are oversaturated to the point that I could lose sales).

Robert M Estall Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I only looked at the first two pages but they look OK to me. Punchy colour but not over the top. I'm viewing on a 27 inch iMac a few years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Preston Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Had a quick look at your first 2 pages using my Samsung tablet, and saturation levels look ok on this screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Most look OK to me on my calibrated Samsung monitor, but some do look a bit over-saturated (e.g. J4B456). I don't know if you would lose sales because of this, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Pritchard Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hi Pierre, I've looked at some of your images on my Benq V2420 screen calibrated with Spyder 4 Pro and they look perfectly o.k. to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Could it be that you now have a wide gamut type screen? And that you do not have a color managed browser? It's a well known combination especially producing over-saturated blown out reds. There is a problem in correcting it: clients may use the same combination. However the right thing to do is to check your browser. And if it isn't properly color managed, to do so. Here's an old but still valid site. Specifically on wide gamut monitor on the same site here. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 They look good to me, but a there are a few that the intense blue sky could be scaled back. But nothing that would hurt sales IMHO. They definitely aren’t blah. (Boring) Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Lewis Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 They look very good to me on my calibrated 26" NEC MultSync LCD (not wide gamut) 8 yr old monitor. @wiskerke advice is solid. Different browsers can give different results. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierre rochon Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Thank you all, your answers are very helpful. Wiskerke, I'll check my browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Your level of saturation looks fine to me, Pierre. If you look at my stuff, you'll see that I like most of my stock images to have a little color and punch. Good luck, Edo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vpics Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I have a really cheapo screen and they look okay. I think that travel images should have a slight ooompf anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I would check your monitor menu settings and graphics card settings (before calibrating). My laptop has an excellent IPS screen, but it took me ages to realise why the reds were all blown out - the graphics software was on a default "vivid" setting, buried down in advanced settings somewhere. Monitors also seem to have extra saturation on some settings. Some of the reds, oranges and blues on your photos are more punchy than natural, but not excessively so.
