Hello Don:
I think the problem about monitors color calibration
exists yet, but I also think it is not easy to solve because you can
calibrate your monitor but if other viewer has a different monitor
calibration the problem is always present; anyway, there are image
adjustments allowing to see it keeping an acceptable color balance for most
monitors despite you could find slight variations among them; the other day
I saw the image about the creek with a right color balance in my monitor,
however i looked with a reddish cast in my cellphone screen, I diminished a
bit of the red color and image colors still looked acceptable in my monitor
and right in the cellphone screen. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does
not work.
It is more significant for your workflow to get a good sync between the
image you see in your monitor and the image you obtain from the printer. I
have an excellent printer, the Epson SureColor P800, however I could n´t
obtain a similar image for the monitor and the printer, the printer kept
the image color balance, however it was always darker than the image in the
monitor. I know there are technical means to sync both images, but I chose
to create a brighter image for the printer keeping the color balance and it
works to me; this is not the best way if you need several prints per day,
but it is not my situation; anyway I'll look for the right way to sync both
devices about brightness soon.

No, they couldn’t care less.
One thing that amazes me is that your pictures have such excellent color
on my monitor, in this case a Compaq laptop.
What happened to the days when everyone wanted a meter to adjust the color
on the monitor? Was it needed or just something people thought they needed?

The local lab developed my Portra 400 120 finally, they processed C-41
once per week, they do it once per month now. I'm seriously thinking about
to manually process my C-41 films, it is not so complicated, but it would
be expensive to me because I shoot color films from time to time only.
I shot the Portra 400 with the 2,8F before to shoot the B&W images I was
uploading to my gallery lately, there were sunny days too.
