    I have my laptop connected to a monitor so that I can use 2 screens. I nearly have it working however the colour settings seriously need to be adjusted on the second screen. Its coming up with a pinkish color and have tried playing around with the settings.

    Any1 ever experienced this and know what to do???

    To change the settings on the second screen make it the only screen that is used,change settings to default for that screen.Restart laptop your laptop screen will probably have a black border around the desktop,the two should work.

    Hi,
    If you examine the second monitor without comparing it to the laptop does the picture look very pink? It may be that you need to calibrate both monitors so that they render the same colours. Calibration requires a bit of messing around with the settings or the use of a hardware device. As an added benefit it will mean that what you see on screen is representative of any printed output you might generate, especially if you use hardware calibration. I found a some info about it about it here and a more photo specific guide on photo.net.

    I use Pantone Huey Pro and find a noticable difference in output across my screens if I don't run it on a regular basis. You can get more info about their products at the Pantone Webpage.

    Hope this helps,
    Cathal
