So /p/ I keep on getting the same comments over and over that my photos are underexposed. It looks perfectly exposed on my LCD screen. My question is how to calibrate my monitor as well as Photoshop so that I can avoid this issue.

If you guys can point me to a good link, that would be great.

Photo very much related.

I take it you are referring to the LCD attached to your PC and not the LCD on the camera? Calibration is actually a lot tougher than you'd think. But you can do a very general calibration using a monitor testing program. Basically if you feel your LCD is showing too much gamma or brightness etc you it allows you to set so that the lowest levels of gradiant is just visible.

Here is a page that will help but Google monitor adjustment for many more links

BTW you will probably need to use gamma adjust 2.2 and set your color temperature to 6500K (as used by most photographers).
