Yep, they look the same to me on the uncalibrated screen of my HP Pavilion. Maybe I'm too dumb to know what's what but I've never had a problem with an uncalibrated screen! (Of which I have several, HP and Dell for my laptops and Dell for my desktop. ) What I get from my Canon Pro 100 is pretty much what I saw on my uncalibrated Dell screen at least to my eye. Harry PS It seems to me that if you look for trouble, you'll probably find it. So I don't look. Of course once in a while it finds me whether I'm looking or not. :-)

Uh, here on my monitor they appear the same. Better check your monitor etc.
I calibrate mine every 4 weeks and have a sensor that checks the ambient light and makes adjustments every 30 minutes.

Hi Robert - what calibration software are you using? Thx in advance

I was going to suggest that you do that. Good test. 
The two look identical to me. That suggests that your monitor is the issue. Do they both look bad to you when you look at them here on your monitor?

Both of these appear virtually the same.

Step 1...before doing any color adjusting (raw/jpeg), download computer monitor calibration tool....calibrate your monitors, then start adjusting color

I have an HP desktop computer running Windows 10. ... (show quote)
The in-camera produced JPEGs are fully processed, using the menu settings in the camera. Those same menu settings are stored in the EXIF file embedded in the raw and JPEG files, along with a JPEG preview or three in the raw data file.
DPP can use the EXIF file to process the raw data on your computer exactly the same way as it was processed in camera. But you have to configure that!
DPP only works properly if you fully configure it AND your computer to take advantage of ICC color management profiles. You need a calibrated and profiled monitor capable of displaying at least the full sRGB color gamut.
Using post-processing software without proper ICC color management settings is like driving while blind.
Information regarding how to do that properly is available from the Datacolor and X-Rite web sites. Google those brands...

I found that even without monitor calibration tools, you can adjust your monitor to look like either the camera screen or the printed photo (assuming they look different).

I've now done basic monitor calibration and it has helped. I'll move on to more configuration procedures in the next few days. Thanks again for the help.
