I agree with Paul here. I use to just use the Adobe Gamma settings and my prints we're only about 90% of what they looked like on the monitor. After buying Marks old Spyder unit and disk's and turning off AG my prints are 98-99% of the monitor.
Even when using the Proof set to Working CMYK, i was getting matching outputs, however, i was frustrated at why my equine photos using the D1h and sometimes the D2H, looked fine in the preview browsers, but dark and muddy in PSCS2, using a PC and XP Home. I can see a difference now, moving from CMYK working to the Monitor RGB, and comparing after conversions, to the MS browser window, they now look the same. I just need to find a store with some paper in stock, so i can do some test prints. The Staples near by is out. I'll try again Monday. Oh crap. I just noticed i still have some Epson 4x6 paper, i can play on those. Phewwww.:-) Thanks for all the tips here. Even after being in to digital for close to seven years now, its still abit confusing at times. Thats were the collective comes in.:-) Dave On Dec 14, 2007 7:45 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > By the way, this success is due in large measure to Godders sharing his > workflow. > Paul > -------------- Original message ---------------------- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > I can match my monitor almost exactly, allowing for some difference in > > backlit > > conrast vs. a print.
