Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...

Yes, this is a step in the right direction, but I would not consider this 'ballpark'. I can see every tonal step of this wedge on my wife's display, which I know to be 1 and 1/2 stops too bright.

Chet showed up to keep the place interesting More info | Sep 06, 2010 21:43 | #10 Paper can also make a huge difference. You get what you pay for, cheap paper can make a photo look muddy and under exposed. Also certain printers respond differently to different photo papers, it may take a couple tries to find one that works best with yours.
