My images are dark when they are printed. WHAT TO DO.

The images are correct exposure in the camera (according to the Histogram) and they look alittle bright on the Monitor, so i calibrated the monitor and the prints are still two dark after printing.

Are you printing them or is a pro lab printing them?

couple of questions:

Where are they being printed?
How did you calibrate the monitor?
Can you post an example of a shot that came out too dark in print

Nevermind -- I'll take care of it myself!
