colors problem
To me this is trial end error process, but I always make changes to correct the printouts in the printer settings. The settings vary with the paper I use (standard paper, heavy matte paper, photo paper, &c) and I generally have to go into the advanced settings to make changes. My printer (Epson C84) have a Best Photo setting that I use for final printout. Also generally I have to lower the gamma setting (from 1.8 to 1.5 in my case), lower the saturation as well as the contrast. Final adjustment for each type of paper may also involve changes in CMYK to make white areas white. For each type of paper I arrive at a standard setting which I save with an appropriate name. Depending on the picture to be printed I also may have to change the lightness setting. I hope this will help _________________ Only in my brightest moments I understand myself |

Re: colors problem
Eyal, I had the very same problem shortly after I joined this forum. Along with Whaler's suggestions, here are a couple of other things you could try: http://www.howtocheatinphotoshop.com/cgi-bin/simpleforum_pro.cgi?fid=02&topic_id=1140581499 |
