Photo editing on a Laptop screen?

    Hey,

    I've recently moved from my desktop PC to a laptop. The contrast and brightness varies a lot depending what angle you have the screen at. I recently saw some images I had edited on the laptop on a desktop computer and they were much more contrasty than I'd wanted.

    Any tips for editing on a laptop screen? Or is it just not recommended?

    Thanks

    For a long time now the only screen I've had has been the Laptop.

    Get it calibrated and then have a look at how the files print.

    ... and after you calibrate sit in exactly the same position every time you use it :)

    I use a laptop screen for prep work, it's fine for that, but always refer to an external display for final output

    I think that's an important point. Laptop screens aren't ideal.

    Yeah that's my problem! :( I'll need to construct a docking station with a head brace... ;)
