adam_mueller Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 <p>I got some A3 prints made on the weekend through a local camera store so I converted them to sRGB as that is what they used. Some of the segments in the images were washed out particularly where flash was used and some images displayed pinky skin on some patches of skin and one or two images were darker than the other.<br>I printed some off on a crappy home printer I use for documents etc and the colour was represented perfectly and exactly how I saw it on screen when I am editing. Would the anomalies I viewed from the printing shop be the fault of incorrect print management seeing as the one from my home printer (An £80 one) represented the colour really wel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldog Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 <p>Could be incorrect print management or color management or something with how you handed the data. That your home printer did a good job helps to some degree in providing data that the data is OK, but without knowing more about how you color managed the data to that printer, its possible the opposite is true. We just don’t enough specifics of the workflow to point a finger where.</p> Author “Color Management for Photographers" & "Photoshop CC Color Management" (pluralsight.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_mueller Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 <p>Hi Andrew,<br> I literally open the file up in Adobe RGB (1998), then edit in that. I'm not big on print workflows, but I converted it to the colourspace they requested.<br> The image I printed on my home printer was sRGB too. I did that as they printed it in sRGB too (To replicate their print). The print results of mine were exactly as I edited on screen on my Mac, but theirs were not.<br> All I did was flatten the file, convert it to sRGB and then sent it to the PC the printer was connected to. Then right click and print. It was that simple and the results were what I expected too.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldog Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 <p>From what you report, it does seem to point towards the outside print provider. </p> Author “Color Management for Photographers" & "Photoshop CC Color Management" (pluralsight.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_mueller Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 <p>Jessops?<br> Well I've got them to reprint them, but I should really go to a high end printers in future. Printing is an art in itself, I'd rather stick to tog and editing :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldog Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 <p>That’s your call but I suspect with something like a good Epson or Canon ink jet, you’ll print significantly better results. Do you want to take on that task or farm it out?</p> Author “Color Management for Photographers" & "Photoshop CC Color Management" (pluralsight.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
