samir Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I have several photos scanned with a Minolta Elite on a PL Platform (Win 98 and Win XP). I recently switch to a Mac and I got PS7. However, I do not know how to treat these old files. Should I keep the embeded profile, should I change them ... While on screen the pictures are great, on print they are bad (obviously the colors are not right, too much red, loss of details, etc....). What are the steps involved in switching these pictures to my new system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan_ratzlaff Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 The profile should be the same; that is the purpose of profiles. If you have problems with printing; then you have a calibration problem on your Mac. You should be using Adobe 1998 as a profilee with Photoshop images.

samir Posted November 30, 2002 Author Share Posted November 30, 2002 Jonathan, Where should is set Adobe 1998 in photoshop (in color management, when soft proofing?). I do not have this problem with other type of files (digital cameras for instance) so this is not a problem with the monitor not being calibrated.

emre Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Go to the color settings in Photoshop: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/ps7-colour/ps7_4.htm Adobe RGB should be your RGB working space. The monitors on all your computers should have unique monitor profiles, preferably hardware generated. If this is your setup the colors should be very consistent across computers. If in addition you want faithful prints you need a profile for your printer. If you use an inkjet this means enabling "ICM" or "color management" in the printer driver and using one of the papers that is supported by the driver.
