Imitating Screen Tilt in Photoshop?

Question

I am using a laptop screen, so when I tilt it back the contrast changes. I am working on a CD cover, and when I tilted the screen back it changed it into the perfect image. So I am trying to imitate what it looks like with the screen tilted back, but I can't achieve it with simple contrast changing. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try levels. This will give you more room to play than contrast. Also try curves. You might need to do several tweaks to get it right.

Keep in mind that by it's very nature, the screen view is VERY different from printed views. You will need to get a print proof from your vendor to approve the color and resolution before approving the job for print.
