Spent 6 hours trying to fix a dark render before realizing my monitor was on 'vivid' mode the whole time
I was color correcting a fantasy landscape piece for a client and couldn't figure out why the shadows looked completely crushed no matter what I did. Turns out my monitor had been set to vivid mode for months, so everything I exported was way too dark. Has anyone else had a monitor setting secretly ruin their color work for way longer than they want to admit?

Spent three months wondering why my skin tones looked like they were from another planet before finding out my "game mode" was on. Realized I'd been grading everything through my monitor's idea of "cinematic.
