<b><i>And...as Henri Cartier Bresson once said: "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't getting close enough [to the subject]".</i></b>
<p>Wasn't that Robert Capa who said that?</p>

The lower right corner of the RAW screen can be dragged to fit your screen size.

George, I would suggest a good color saturated film. All the Quinceanera photos I've seen here locally are usually bright and colorful. Have fun!

<p>A method that works well with Black and White photos and the Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy, Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper, and Ilford Galerie Smoth Pearl is:</p>
<p>
In Photoshop set the color settings to:<br>
Working Spaces<br>
RGB = BJ Color Printer Profile 2000<br>
Gray = Gray Gamma 2.2<br>
<br>
Color Management Policies<br>
RGB = Convert to Working RGB<br>
Gray = Convert to Working Gray<br>
<br>
Conversion Options<br>
Engine = Adobe (ACE)<br>
Intent = Perceptual or Relative Colorimetric (either one works fine, subjective results)<br>
Use Black Point Compensation & Use Dither are both checked.<br>
<p>
1. When I open a color image I allow Photoshop to convert the image to the working RGB (BJ Color Printer Profile 2000).<br><br>
2. I also use Channel Mixer or a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer to do the BW conversion (sometimes I'll convert to LAB mode and use the split the channels to use the Lightness Channel).<br><br>
3. I do any image adjustments necessary.<br><br>
4. If I want to tone the image I'll use a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer with "colorized" checked or better yet, convert to Greyscale -> Dualtone then back to RGB. <b>Print in RGB mode</b><br><br>
5. Under "Print Options" I select the Color Management option and set<br><br>
Source Space = Document: BJ Color Printer Profile 2000<br>
Print Space = Profile: Same As Source<br>
<br>
Media Type = High Gloss Photo Film<br>
Print Quality = Custom -> (level 2), diffusion<br>
Color Balance = Yellow -15, Intensity 5
Color Adjustment = Manual -> Enable ICM<br>
<p>You may also get good results by using:<br>
Media Type = Photo Paper Pro<br>
Print Quality = Custom -> (level 1), diffusion<br>
Color Balance = Yellow -15, Intensity 5
Color Adjustment = Manual -> Enable ICM<br>
<p>Of course you can tweak the settings to suit your subjective tastes.<br>
<br>
Let me know how these options work for you.</p>

<p>I'm assuming that you are on a Windows PC�. I�m not sure this method will work for you but, I tested my Canon i850 using a Canon printer profile downloadable here:</P>
<p>
<a href="http://downloads.lyson.com/Technical Support/New2003/i850_Fot_DarkRoomMatt.zip">i850 ICC Printer Profile for Matte Photo Paper</a>
<p>
This profile was designed to work with the Lyson inks, but I have found that this does a decent job in printing on the Epson Enhanced Matte and the Canon Matte Photo papers. <b>This works particularly well in removing the green cast on the Epson Enhanced Matte for Black and White photos!</b><br>
<br>
Install the profile, and then assuming your editing images in RGB in Photoshop, you can print using this printer profile. In Photoshop under the Print Options use:<br>
<br>
For Print Space use:<br>
Profile = i850_Fotonic_DarkroomMatt.icc<br>
Intent = Perceptual<br>
<br>
Under the printer settings use:<br>
Media Type = Matte Photo Paper<br>
Print Quality = Custom -> Level 3 & Diffusion<br>
Color Adjustment = Manual -> Photo<br>
<br>
Let me if this works for you.<br>
