Lately, I have had problems with the desktop computer, and he accused the photos with the laptop computer. The photos on thec are good, but to view them on other screens, I do not like the results.
I have already arranged the desktop computer and there is a big difference between the two screens.
Can you appreciate the differences?

The laptop I see a dominant yellow-green, I do not think the right color.
On the desktop I see a color cold but much more natural, maybe a little clearer for my taste.

I agree with BAI, and the reds and blues have more saturation in your laptop image.....I think you have to much saturation of color.

I have a question for you, Fercar: how did you succeed in posting pics showing how they appear on your two PC's?

I do not understand the question.
A photo processed in the laptop looks good in the laptop. If I see the same picture with the desktop (through woophy), I see colors with strangers.
The problem is in the calibration of the screen of the laptop.
Now I'm using the desktop by which I think is more reliable.
The last photos that I hung in goophy not have the result that I want to give.
Thanks for your help.

I think that ortho158 it refers that your question is illogical, since in the photographies that you compare we are not speaking about the same image in values of saturation and contrast.
And you try to compare two different images, giving to dealing since as them you see in both computers, but we are not speaking about the same image.

now im confused, are you saying that you processed both on two different computers, and what looked like the same result to you ended up looking different on woophy when on a certain computer?
what are you using to calibrate? program? or are you doing your own profiling?

I suppose it is just as Leilani suggests: you processed the same original pic on your two PC's (adjusting histogram, saturation, ...), and you uploaded the 2 pics on Woophy. Do you really mean that they look the same to you: when you view the laptop-processed on your laptop, and when you view the desktop-processed on your desktop?
If that is the case, I think that nobody here, on Woophy, can tell you which of your PC's need calibrating, because we don't know the original image, and we don't know what you wanted to do in terms of contrast, saturation, etc.
When I look at your pics with my monitor, I view the laptop-one as a very (too?) 'warm' picture, which seems to have been taken at the end of the afternoon.The desktop-one has much more flat light. If it was taken with the warm light (or if you processed it in order to give it a warm light), then it is the laptop which is better calibrated. And the other way around. But we cannot tell you as we do not know what was your intention when your processed the image.
Here is a suggestion. I never used any hardware equipment to calibrate my monitor, but I checked with printed pics. I usually print a number of my pics, after having processed them through Photoshop (or equivalent), and I send them to an Internet printer (Pixum). With Pixum, I can specify that I don't want them to do any additional processing on my pics. When I get my prints back, I can verify that they are reasonably similar to what I see on my monitor: so, I suppose that my monitor is (more or less) correctly calibrated.

Hi Fercar,
Check the colour temperature setting of your monitors, and check if your video cards are set for a linear profile.
Maybe you need to install Adobe gamma loader, or check if it is set right (on both computers). Use single gamma and three colour gamma. You need a good set of calibration cards. Check here for test photos and a grey scale gamma calibration image.
good luck!

Color calibration on a LCD monitor of a notebook is very difficult to calibrate. I have also a notebook and I spent hours to calibrate my monitor. The Adobe gamma loader will only work on a normal CRT monitor. You can't set the parameters right of the gamma loader because when you change the angle of your screen the results of the gamma loader will be different. You set the screen angle that's looks the best for you but this will not say it looks right. For myself the settings are the best at natural and standard. Other settings of my videocard will change the colors to much. I have choosen this option and looked on other screens and the results are not that different. But I'm not happy with my screen.
Have a look for a spyder. The spyder will calibrate your LCD .
This is the best product if you want to print pictures and don't want to get dissapointed. I will buy myself one this month because I have this problem also to long now. And I have to make some pictures for somebody and I want the pictures to look natural.
Here is a link of the spyder: http://www.datacolor.eu/en/
