My daughter sends me photos from her camera and I try to optimise them

I know I can buy additional equipment to help with this, though I'm
not keen to.
Would printing the files on an inkjet printer provide adequate
examples of how the photoprint will ultimately come out?

Thanks for all the good advice. Gives me plenty to work on. I think
I'll take a look at the Spyder5Pro. My current main monitor is an
oldish 35" LG TV. I might get a new TV for the job, even though some
people think that doing so is a bit Philistine.

Well if your going to look at your prints on a TV then that is a good idea
otherwise it isn't.

As an amateur in all things with a limited budget that has other,
more equall priorities, I do the best I can with the advise I get.
Thanks


You can get a really good 24 inch IPS monitor for under £100 at
Novatech in Portsmouth (see web site). IPS is best for
accurate colour reproduction.

Unless you spend oodles on an OLED tv, most tv's are never going
to be as good as a proper monitor. Some older panasonic tvs
used IPS panels. Finding out what type of panel is used by
a modern tv (TN, VA, MVA, IPS, PLS) requires a lot of
detective work. Only LG TVs are definate IPS users because they
are the largest manufacturer of IPS panels.

Great Stuff! I'm on it.
