then your display is not properly calibrated.

It is difficult to know what the colors actually were like unless you
were at the scene.

irrelevant.

a display is not calibrated to a particular scene.

What I saw was, in general, the close-up photos were a bit more vivid
than what I consider natural, while the scenic photos seemed about right.

some of the photos did have vivid colours, but nothing out of the
ordinary and certainly not anything that was exaggerated.

I could be wrong since I calibrated my display so that the Lubuntu
desktop looks just like the display beside it.

what puck/software did you use?

My software is Lubuntu (LXDE + Ubuntu) 16.04, with kernal 4.4.0-97.
I never played hockey, so I have no use for a puck.

When nospam used “puck� he was refering to whichever hardware colorimeter
you are actually using to calibrate your display(s).

Most folks use either X-Rite, or Datacolor calibration tools.

In the darkroom, however, I calibrate everything to an 18% gray card,
using an Eseco densitometer (for both negs and prints).

While that might be fine to use in a darkroom, it does nothing when it comes
to calibrating your display(s). An 18% gray card is going to assist with
setting white balance, or finding an 18% gray on a darkroom print, and is not
going to be much help when it comes to display color calibration.

as i expected. your display is not calibrated at all.

why did you say it was?

In the darkroom, however, I calibrate everything to an 18% gray card,
using an Eseco densitometer (for both negs and prints).

don't you have a colorimeter? or do you only do b/w?

My densitometer provides readings of the primary or secondary colors,
depending on setting. A gray card will read 0.750 on each channel.

I shoot the gray card when I change C41 chemicals or film type.
I print a "Shirley" (commercially produced color test negative) when I
change color printing paper or RA-4 chemicals.

I suppose I should have specified a "Color Densitometer", since single
channel densitometers are available. But the conversation is about color...

If you actually looked at the pictures you would see green foliage in some.

i did, and they looked fine.

i want to know which photos were 'unrealistically over saturated'.

since you refuse to answer, the only conclusion is that there is no
such photo.

There is also a conclusion that you have no clue what over saturated
colors are.

a more accurate conclusion is that my display is properly calibrated
and yours is not, which explains why you continue to avoid answering
and have resorted to insults.
