First time working with dark skin woman screen questions

[Kbarredo]

So Im doing some editing on my a shoot I did. She has darker skin. On one computer she looks fine but I opened the file on another computer and she looks really dark. The other computer screen isnt as bright as my first one. How do I know what the true picture will look like when I print it out?

You print it, or check it on a calibrated screen.

calibrate your monitor

If two computer screens don't agree with each other then at least one of them must be wrong. They could both be wrong.

I won't know which one, if any, of your displays are accurate unless you calibrate them. To do this, you will need a hardware device and the software to go with it.

This has been talked about many times on the forum, just do a search for calibration and you should get plenty of info.

But doesnt mean you should always make their skin as dark as it is on the photo. Dark skin people sometime like to see lighter skin tone, and fair skin people like to see darker skin tone on their photos.
