ro_smith Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 well more on the cyan side..but I had some test prints made to see how I was fairing in photoshop and to check the color accuracy of my monitor..All of the pics came out fine but 3 of them came out green- it actually looks like they are standing under cyan lighting...?? Here is what it looks like via computer and someone tell me if they are getting major cyan because then I need to revisit the monitor adjustments....<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanlindberg Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I dont see any green at all but I do see the photo being very washed out and over exposed. Maybe your printer ran out of ink during the printing. :) It's has happened to me before, I ran out of black or some other color (can't remember) and the photo looked to green.

roxyandkaidotcom Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Doesn't look green to me ... needs some photoshop work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseay Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Where did you have them printed? I always notice a green tint to pictures I have printed at Sam's Club or Walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ro_smith Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 I didn't print it at home - I had them printed at a photolab just to test my monitor vs the prints.. it was strange because 3 were right on color and 3 were completely green ...didn't check until I got home so maybe it would be something to bring up with the printing place... realize the pic needs to be adjusted I was just getting a feel for the color output...just out of curiousity what would you do to it?

bruce_rubenstein___nyc Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 If you color correct you pictures, then you have to tell the lab to turn off aoutomatic corrections. Otherwise you will get unpredictable results. If you're going to be sending out files to a lab then you really need to use some real color calibration on your monitor so that you know if the pictures come back looking off it's the labs fault.

picturesque Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 It doesn't look green to me. Are you reacting to the off color background? That is due to the mismatch in color temperature between the flash, which is what lit the subjects, and the ambient lighting, which is a different color temperature.

danallen Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Could it be the wrong color space attached to the file sent to the lab? I've never had a problem unless I did a brain-bomb and mismatched my color profiles. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ro_smith Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 My scanner broke and I am waiting for the replacement so I can't scan in the lab prints - It is just odd because only some of them ended up green. And I mean GREEN. They seriously look like they are standing under Green lights - so I think I will try and tell them to turn off auto color at the lab if that seems to be an issue - I just wanted to be sure that there wasn't something I was missing... The only other thing I can think of is that I used Auto Color on this print (I wanted to compare the manual correction to the auto correction) so I am wondering if that somehow tripped their printer up??? I'm going to bring them in tomorrow and have them reprinted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisheylen Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Convert to sRGB before sending out to a lab. They will not do the conversion for you, as they assume that everybody uses sRGB (most digicams do).<p> I tried in PS to assign sRGB instead of converting (that is what the lab would do), and it made it a lot greener on my monitor.

ro_smith Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 okay sorry for the stupid question but how do you convert it to sRGB and would you do that prior to editing...and if so doesn't that defeat the purpose of shooting in Adobe RGB? still learning photoshop so bear with me.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think27 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Ro and Khalil - PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN UPLOADING IMAGES TO THREADS. Images must be 511 pixels or less in width and you must type in a caption in the caption box. Both those things must occur for images to show up as images in threads rather than links.

mercsadies Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I don't see it green on my Powerbook (browser is Safari). I have had your problem however and it was the lab's fault. Better yet they wanted to fight me on it. I had done a portrait shoot of a couple. I knew I had everything sent in correctly. I got back an 8x10 and some smaller photos to cut down myself. The smaller ones were extremely yellow - almost green. Granted it was outdoors, against green vines. My 8x10 - perfect. All the prints I had made myself prior to sending in - perfect. I called. I emailed. I finally had to bring them back and show them to the lab. They said "it was because of my film." I almost slapped the girl ... I don't shoot film! I have NEVER shot film. And right after her comment, I whipped out the perfectly colored 8x10 (that they had done). Needless to say I got the prints redone ... but I didn't expect it to be so much of a hassle. Anyway - my point - ask your lab (nicely at first) if they can take a look at them and see if it wasn't something malfunctioning on their end. Personally, I have found that the in-town discount labs are much more rude and not willing to replace prints than online labs, who bend over backwards for you.
