So, here's the issue....i shot some head shots last week for a client, they're going in a magazine, on white, with no border (granted they're going to be about 2" wide each, but moving on...)
The head shots were done on white, Peter Hurly style (white background blown out with flashes, and then the subject lit with strobes through umbrellas up close....they look great....
anyway, so as i'm post processing, i notice on one edge of the background, there are some issues with color cast showing up on the background, so instead of the pixel values being like 255, 255, 255, they're like 251, 252, 255 (slightly blueish)....still white, but not WHITE....so what i did to be quick was just cloned within Aperture from the other side of the BG (which is totally WHITE), to straighten out the color cast....
Well on my Dell Ultrasharp (which is totally calibrated, matches every print PERFECTLY), all images look great...in PS, in Aperture, in Finder, in Preview, everything. So i dropbox the photos, then i'm flipping through on my iPhone, and i can TOTALLY see spots i missed...TOTALLY.....where on my main display they look fine...same thing on my 13" white macbook...are the white points that much different? Or does it just boil down to screen brightness.....my MB screen and iPhone screens are both brighter than my main display (90 cdm/2)....
Also, how many of you think that the difference in whites probably wouldn't have shown up in print?? I changed it mainly b/c i knew the clients would view the photos on a screen that was possibly brighter than my main display, so i didn't wanna look like an idiot, where i missed spots...
thoughts?
