So, I looked at this on my monitor and it looked great and then I looked at it on my netbook and it looks awful. Now I am wondering which one is more properly calibrated. How does it look to you?

I don't have a netbook but it certainly wouldn't surpise me if it didn't handle some photos so well.

What aspects of the image exactly looked great when you were working on it and then bad in netbook?

The skin tones look really off to me on the netbook and I am out of town so I won't have my laptop back for a few days. I don't plan on editing on my netbook or anything but I just wanted to know if my monitor calibration is way off.

Maybe the skin tones don't look as good because the two subjects are a bit under-lit? Maybe the Netbook doesn't handle that type of thing so well? I don't know, just fishing...

Do they look specifically blue to anyone else?

Man's face has a strong blue cast on my screen.

Are either your monitor or netbook actually calibrated?

I'm on a Dell netbook (wouldn't even waste my time trying to calibrate it) and EVERYTHING looks bluish, especially B&W.

I see the blue but they also look too red. Actually, it reminds me of what happens when you try to recreate a lost negative by taking a photo of a print; contrast too high and colors off.
(Like you have to do after you take a negative of a picture you like to a crap lab for enlargement and they lose your negatives!!! But hey, I'm not bitter...)

Same here.. the skin tones just look off. It's not overly blue to me, it's just pale, with the area around his cheeks/mustache being overly red..

Looks kind of bluish/magenta from here.


Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.

My laptop was at some point, although it has been a while with a bunch of changes since then so it might need to be done again.
