How does this photo look? OK? Washed Out? Too Dark? Strange Color? I have calibrated my Monitor and I am not sure that it is setup correctly. Thanks for the help.

what was the iso set at

Does this one look better? Or Worse?

azy - 1600 or 3200

The 2nd one looks better, but I think the noise of the high iso might be the problem, as noise was the first thing I thought of when looking at the photo rather than colour IMHO So I ran the 1st though noise ninja and then adjusted the levels, what do you think

The second one look best to me, considering all the color there. Saturation is strong but pleasing.

azy - Looks good. Tom - Thanks. The problem I am having is after doing the monitor calb. My screen shows things as washed out. In Photoshop everything looks good. When I get prints made at Wal-Mart the prints match more of what I see in photoshop, so that is what I want. But if I post to the web or view outside photoshop everything looks washed out. So now it is like I am going to have to have 2 files one for web one for print. I have turned off Adobe Gamma correction, or at least I think I have. Any tips would be very much appreciated.

Here is an article from Popular Photography that might help. I had a similar problem and found changing my Photoshop Color Settings.. for RGB to Monitor RGB, solved the problem. I think there was another setting somewhere that let me select web RGB, but I can't find that control panel right now. Hope that help and BTW, my output is still color correct for print. And your second image looks good. :)

that article seems to be cool :) have to check it further... :) thanks folks...!
