Please help me to evaluate

[scaredcloud]

hi guys,
am new here...
new to photography.

I have a picture below, which shows appropriate exposure when I view with my monitor,
but received feedbacks that the picture is underexposed.

please help to see if the picture is really underexposed in your monitor?
so that I may need to calibrate my monitor?

thanks in advance!

it looks a bit under in my monitor as well. u can try to raise the levels a bit in PS if u have PS

 

[Buggy]

yah. it's a little under.

if you're using PSCS, you can use the Shadow/Highlight to increase the Shadow amount to 25%, leave the Highlight at 0%

i will say that its abit underexposed deffinately coz its looks abit dark here. yup use PS to increase e levels if u do have 1 it may turn out your photo to be a charm.

yes it is underexposed. use the histogram, and don't depend on your monitor all the time..

 

[scaredcloud]

thanks guys!
appreciate your help!

Jopel, I'll try your method and repost again. :sweat:

To +evenstar: Hi bro, dunno really how to translate the histogram. :sweat: Suppose to be a normal bell shape then consider ok? :embrass:

 

[jopel]

this is how your histogram look like, just drag the Highlight slider

the Shadow/Highlight still apply

had adjusted as per Jopel's suggestion. Thanks!
Now the picture appears a little over in my screen.
Does it look just nice to you guys?
If so, anybody can tell me how to adjust my monitor? :cry:

sounds like your screen is too bright.
should try to calibrate it or readjust.
take note of your ambient light too

 

[scandisk]

yeah may need to readjust....check both monitor and the graphics card software...
some of the settings u need to take note are the contrast, brightness, color temperature and gamma settings

look nicer now on my monitor (calibrated).

you can either tune down your monitor brightness level by your judgement, or buy a basic calibration tool which costs about $200-300 to calibrate for you.

It's not little, it's a fair bit.

Looks better. Though I cannot understand what you're trying to show in the pic.

Get an EyeOne or XRite
