[Leica] OK some real photos

[bd at bdcolenphoto.com (B. D. Colen)]

Here's a somewhat controversial thought: do we waste far too high a 
percentage of our lives worrying about these slight differences between how 
images look on one monitor or another, and in PS, LR, or the LG? (And I am 
talking about slight differences.) Consider two things: first, no matter how 
you processed your images, and how carefully your monitors are calibrated, 
dozens, if not tens of thousands of people will be seeing them on monitors 
whose calibration is utterly unrelated to yours. And second, in the days of 
prints, every time we moved the print six feet, and the mix of, and level of 
light changed, the "calibration" changed. So perhaps the thing to do - 
unless you are having major calibration problems, is calibrate the 
monitor(s) once every whatever, and then just forget about it. Just a 
thought.

"Somehow my B&W's look a bit dark and flat in the Leica Gallery compared to 
viewing them in Lightroom 4.  Monitor is calibrated with Spyder 3, but I am 
viewing the web and Lightroom on the same monitor, so that should not 
account for the difference I see.  Any suggestions?  Maybe they look fine on 
your monitor."

The b&w images from the Olympic Peninsula look just right on my 27" iMac, 
calibrated with an X-Rite i1 Profiler. When viewing my b&w's on the same 
display I see differences between LR4 and Preview.
