Viewing Your Images

When your proofs are ready (within 7 days after the session), I will let you know via phone or e-mail.  I will email a link to you which you may then share with anyone you choose. After 7 days, we will get together in person or over the phone for you to order your images. People who live out-of-town will have the option to purchase images online and have them shipped to them if they desire.

Some tips for viewing your gallery

Remember that not all monitors are the same.  My monitor is calibrated so that what I see on my screen is how an image will actually print.  Sometimes, you may find that your monitor is too dark or too bright and images may not look as good as they will look in print.  This is optional, but before viewing your gallery (perhaps to kill time while waiting for your proofs), you can calibrate your monitor.

Looking at this bar below, there should be 24 blocks in shades of white, grey, and black.  If you can see them all, your monitor is fine as is.

If not, then try this:

1. On your monitor, turn the contrast up to 100%

2. Then turn the brightness up to 100%.

3. Slowly start turning the brightness down on your monitor.  Stop when you can see a difference between the first 2-3 bars on the left and the last 2-3 bars on the right.

4. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just get it as close as you can.
