Artist's Comments

My laptop screen shows everything in very distorted colors... I had this idea a while ago and painted it but after seeing it on a different computer I got too upset to try and fix it ;P

On MY screen...It's that deep coffee house red on the top right and a soft reddish brown on the bottom. The mug is a creamy beige/tan/brownish... and on the left it's a soft brownish orange.

On the other monitor I saw ...the mug was bright yellow. That's when I found out that all my colors are way off on this computer, and yes, I do all my art on here. I need to tweak colors. ANY help please. I'll be using PS so if you think it needs more red hues ...whatever! Blow your ideas out there, and if you haven't any ideas...enjoy the coffee ;).

Not finished. Colors are getting changed. + more coffee beans.

I don't know which monitor is off, because mine is showing the ideal colors there, not the bright yellow you mention. I hope this doesn't mean that I have to adjust my monitor now :(

Actually after playing around with it a bit I understand what you mean about the colors. The appear softened up a bit.
As for the art its self the cup looks lopsided. The left side bulges out a little too far. And at this angle the top of the cup should be less visible (more ovular and narrower)

I like the colours as they are. I think I might be seeing a yellow mug though. sorry ^^; Not BRIGHT yellow... more a baby yellow, on the highlighted side, and around the rim. Try fiddling with the 'colour balance' settings, up the red/lessen the yellow on the sliders.

But don't worry too much, as I said I think the colours are nice as they are, definitely coffee-like :D and anyway I gave up on colour settings a while ago, cos I came to the conclusion that everyone's settings are gonna be different and there will be few people seeing the exact same colours that you are on your own screen. sucks, because I'm picky about colour myself. I hate having to use 2 different computers, what I eventually upload here never matches what I've drawn at home!

I thought of something else you could try... 'selective colour' - then you can just alter the yellows without changing your other hues :) you probably knew that already though, I only recently discovered that one lol.

;P oh okay. the colors are much softer on my computer...it's quite frustrating. I'll just have to keep working =)

I know the cup needs work but it was pretty quick, I'm not sure if I'll fix it or not, thanks for the input!

;P I'm pretty sure that the other monitor is messed up.
You can if you want to, but the only way it would help me is if you told me exactly what you did ;) if you don't tell me than it doesn't help me, I just have to figure it all out all over again by myself.

hmmm.. maybe I will, I think the red hues are way off ;P
I did know about it, although I haven't really used it. The only reason I knew about it was because of my photoshop class with my school (took to get the program :XD:)
