Must be a Mac situation as described above. They look identical on my PC.

Hey Newton, not sure what to tell you other than I see no difference in the images on my calibrated Lacie. They both have the same exact look to me. I even (for comparison sake) saved the image you attached to the post and brought it up side-by-side to the foliolink image and there was no difference whatsoever. Not sure what to tell you other than maybe one of sites has a different background color causing a "make believe" color shift in the image?

Never paid any attention to others being different colors. Mine is gray though.

The profile is for a pro lab, not a home printer.

After editing and soft proofing (printer profile) in Adobe RGB,

should i convert to sRGB and then convert to printer profile or is

it ok to just convert straight to profile after editing?

Thanks everyone, that is what i was wondering. If i should resample to the correct size using the 10% method and then crop or just crop to 11x14 and let PS enlarge the size.<p>

 

 

<i>He he, just make a 40x40 and cut it. :)</i><br>?

Could someone tell me how i can make a 11x14 in print from a

2048x3072 file? Can i simply crop to that dimension in photoshop

with a 300 res. or do i need to resample with genuine fractals or

PS?

Thanks everyone. Guess i was thinking there was a trick around this for the 3:2 ratio.

I need to print some fullsize 8x10's and 11x14's from a 10D without

having to crop the images. I have heard people discuss adding

borders around the image in PS to trick the printer (pro lab) into

printing the full frame image without cropping the image itself. In

other words, when the printer crops for the 8x10 it is actually

cropping off the borders (made in PS) rather than the image itself.

Could someone elaborate on how to achieve this. For instance if i

want to print the full frame 8x10 or 11x14, how big should the

canvas in PS be. Any other tips on accomplishing this would be

greatly appreciated.

I have just purchased a new Lacie 19" IV crt monitor and the

Colorvision Spyder2 Pro software. I will be calibrating it tonight

but first wanted to clarify something i wasn't sure of. I can adjust

the colr balance (temp) on the monitor itself to 6500k, should i do

this or wait and set it through the calibration process? I guess

what i am asking is should the color balance be set on display

(monitor) and hardware? Anyone else who has this setup, if you have

any advise on the process it would be appreciated.

Guess i should have asked someone who has the same taste in glamour photography as me.

I have been playing around with shooting some model stuff, mainly

glamour. I must admit that its much different than what i am used to

doing (landscapes/nature), and would like to learn more. All my

pictures seem to come out "flat" looking compared to some others i

have seen. I came across this website and i would really like to

know how he achieves this look. Most of his pictures have a really

nice warm tone to them. Can someone enlighten me on how he does

this? Is it his lighting, camera, lens, etc...? What am i missing

here? The link to his page is

http://www.zackphillips.com/gallery01.html. I am particularly fond

of how he achieves the look in the photo that is in the 3rd column

and 5th row down.

 

Thanks in advance,

David

Perfect Exposure, i am using windows. How do i check the profiles you mentioned?

I have posted below (i think) my color settings in CS. I realize it has Adobe RGB set for the default but i always just convert to sRGB when doing print work.<div></div>

I use Photoshop CS for all my photo editing and shoot in RAW mode. I

have searched the web for this problem but have not come up with a

reasonable answer. I shoot in Adobe RGB and work in CS with Srgb due

to thats the color profile that my lab accepts. I also display a lot

of my photos on the web. My question/problem is that when i save for

web and then view them in my browser the colors are a LOT more

saturated than they were when viewed on the save for web screen. I

understand that if working in Adobe RGB, i would need to convert to

sgrb before saving to web but as mentioned, i am already working in

Srgb. Which color is right, the colors viewed in my browser or the

colors viewed on the CS save for web screen? Is there a trick or work

around for this situation? I can also click the View - Monitor Colors

in CS and this will give me the colors i see in my browser after

saving but i'm still confused as to which is right. Should i just edit

all my web pictures with the "Monitor Colors" profile? Any help would

be appreciated as i'm really cunfused on this subject.

Thanks

David
