Resize the image to fit on your 4圆 paper. Write down the result, but don't do anything about it.
From the fly-out menu at the bottom, choose 'Show Document Profile'. It should be one with a good range of colors, like a basic outdoor shot. IMO, color management is the rare process you want to do correctly before you understand it So please do the following exactly as I describe it. With great respect to the Digital Dog®, I want to take a different tack. I can only recommend you spend some quality time with bedtime reading, and this book. You should also be on the safe side there. Is your monitor capable of working in AdobeRBG mode? Most screens aren't, but work in SRGB, which might be a safe bet for you.Īnd then, use the correct paper profile your manufacturer indicates. Photos you import into PS should have a profile assigned which does not have to be converted to something else if you don't know what happens when you do.

At least learn how to manage your printer process! If you want your colours to be as seen, switch off the printer manages colours issue, and have PS determine colours. This printer is so good and so powerful that you don't want to waste precious and expensive paper for bad results because there is a communication problem between chair and computer. Your monitor is calibrated, and so should your printer be (in best case, but having a calibrated screen is a first step towards nice colours).
You buy a printer that costs EUR 1350, but you don't know how to manage your colours? No offense meant, but that's the rudiments of printing we're talking about. The first print I have is of a yellow rose with nice shadows on a black background, and either the greens are off on the leafs, or they are much too dark.

All the drivers are up to date, my ICC profiles are installed correctly, I just need to get over this 'hump'.įor example, I just printed out an event portrait of Taylor Swift (below - correct) - on screen the skin tones are full and colorful, on print they are washed out. Is there anyone out there that can offer a solution to get my prints back on track? I've already eaten up nine sheets of Epson luster paper trying to properly calibrate. In the past I have sent my prints out to a lab and they've been fine, but right now I'm a bit frustrated with soft proofing and not getting the proper results as well as using the ProPhoto Profile, the Adobe RGB profile, and a few others and not getting the results I want. I'm having a heck of a time getting the proper tones and colors that my Eye One calibrated Mac Cinema Display is churning out. Just got an 8330 yesterday that I'm running with CS4, Light Room 3, and Aperture.
