Hi
Just some questions from others that may know....
I am shooting with my new Canon 6D.....I shot some pictures last night at my Granddaughters Crowning ceremony at her church. The church was very bright inside from both the lights and the sun shining thru its many windows so I did not put an external flash on the camera. I bumped up the ISO to about 1000 and messed around with the settings including changing the white balance to Tungsten......till the pictures I was shooting looked really good in camera. When I downloaded them to my computer they look super dark and I have had this issue everytime I shoot inside. I have what I THOUGHT was a pretty good computer screen,...its a Samsung and cost over 500 dollars a couple years ago. Also when I print even after editing the pictures are printing really dark. What do I need to do to KNOW that what I am looking at on screen is what the pictures actually look like??? And that when I print them they will come out correctly. I have purchased a new desktop but have not set it up yet. If I have to I will get another screen as well. I don't mind editing the pictures but really don't want to HAVE to edit every one of them every time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Advice please????
Thanks so much
Judy

This is a simple solution for over 75% of this type of problem. Turn your monitor brightness down so that your screen is not as bright. With a darker screen you will adjust your image brighter so that it prints lighter. Here is a link that explains this: http://www.digicamguides.com/print/monitor-calibration.html

I often shoot underexposed ... the editing programs can correct most easily .. I did theses corrections on my IpadPro while watching Wheel of Fortune with my wife.. They aren’t perfect .., just quickies ... I have people email me photo for correction all,the time that are underexposed ...I fix um ...

I suspect the monitor was turned’ up a little to bright +5 .... I have made the same mistake when doing night star photography .., when I turn the monitor down to almost nothing ...then forget to put it back the next day and vise versa ...

I had to shoot an entire night wedding without flash on my D800E ... none was allowed ...with the aid of the photo programs .. 50% were keepers and 10% were better than the ones by the hired 3 person photographers who were allowed flash ..
