I just took some pictures of my ZR1 RM corvette on Sarthe in at night, with the brakes glowing.

on my tv, it looks absolutely awesome and REAL!!!
I imported the pictures on an USB and to my computer.
what really bothers me is that the pictures now look awful!
(they still look great on my TV)
what can i do to make them look as on the TV?
(i'm using photobucket editor to edit my pics)
 
Sounds like your monitor, play around with your settings 👍

I don't know what to recommend because I set my monitor up using the Clarkson Theory.

Your monitor settings, as in your PC monitor.

The way you're describing it, your TV has better settings for contrast, colour, brightness etc that makes everything look nicer 👍

Awful how? Compression? Colours?

take a look:
this is my corvette, painted in the ferrari metallic colour, and this is how it should look like, (i edited this picture, sitting in front of my TV to get it as close as i can.

and this picture comes straight from my PC, unedited, in the same colour.

you can take a look at the NCD at the ferraris and compare it with my second picture.

I don't see what that has to do with it. It's simply a case of your tv has been set up better to bring out the colours better than your monitor and phone has.

(Personally I think the second picture looks better but hey. Each monitor setting is different)
 
I had the same problem recently with a night shot for one of the photo contests.

Sometimes, even on the older tv's there is an auto setting for the screen. See if there is one and turn it off.

In my case, it was turned off and what it was just a simple exposure problem going from the tv to my computer as they aren't calibrated the same.

So to fix it, when you are in photomode do several different exposures. Increasing the exposure on the night shots fixed it.
 
Honestly it looks like your TV is over saturating the colors and making them look different than they are actually meant to appear. It may look "better" to you on the TV simply because that's what you're used to seeing even though it's not a true representation of the actual color.

IMO, the second picture looks crisper and more realistic. :)
The first picture has quite a subtle orange glow about it, as if your TV has the brightness setting too high.

it could be that i changed the settings of my tv years ago...
 
I noticed exactly same thing with my C 63 AMG with Fantasiagrün color.
In my tv the picture looks great and it has really bright and nice colors, but after i transferred it to my laptop the picture got kinda lame.
Color is not even close compared to TV's picture.
So i guess it just has to be photoshopped somehow to look same.

I was trying to calibrate my TV/PC monitor in the past and read that cad and graphic designers prefer crt (cathode ray tube) to plasma, LCD and led monitors as they produce better images.
