The only thing I would ask is if your monitor is calbrated--I didn't 
understand that from your post.

Best, Diane

the screen what is coming out

Deciding on the settings for your screen is completely visual. You can never
get a complete likeness between a picture on screen and what is on the
print. It depends on your position for the screen, the balance between
highlights and shadows in the picture. It depends on the light in the room
and, I noticed, it depends on your being tired, your mood. If you get it
right (or almost) for one picture, it will be wrong for another.
