Historically laptops have an auto brightness feature that adjusts the luminence value based on the ambient light in the environment that its in, making it almost impossible to set and maintain a profile.
My suggestion is to purchase an external monitor which can be attached to your monitor allowing you to set a profile for that monitor. I have an external monitor on this computer, works great.
Hope this helps.


It can be done on modern laptops, auto brightness can be turned off. https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/turn-on-or-turn-off-adaptive-brightness-win10/

From my Photoshop to Costco my colors are way off. I asked Costco and they said go to printer profiles and Dry Creek Photos will help you. I did just that, ever try to understand what Dry Creek is talking about. For an old guy it's not me. Any easy answers out there?
Thank you.


Is your display profiled? You should be using the printer profiles they suggest to soft proof your images and get a sense of what the final image will look like.

There are no quick answers. You'll have to invest the time and effort to understand color management if you want to minimize the surprises when you get your stuff back from the print lab (or printer).

Here is a good place to start:

That resource is from 2004, so doesn't exactly match modem Photoshop, still a worthwhile read.
