p.1 #1 · OK, so much for getting caught up -question


I thought I'd have plenty of time to get caught up here, but forgot how often a baby needs attention.
She is adorable, and we are enjoying it, but the Cardinals are laughing me as I watch them from the window.

I need some advice on printing photos. The photos look good on the screen, but are often off when printed. I am not using any custom printer or printing company. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good online company that I can upload and print images?

Someday I may get a printer, but right now I'd like to find some place that will do a better job at printing.

Thanks so much,
Nancy

Hi Nancy, I'm sure the granddaughter is changing your life

When you save your images to print are you saving them in the sRGB color space? If not your prints will look dull and lifeless. If you want a good online resource for prints Costco is great. http://www.costcophotocenter.com/account/default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f

Two suggestions for you. One make sure your monitor is profiled, if not nobody can match it.
Tim gave you a very good online resource, also This fellow ( http://www.cariboophotography.com/) is very good if you have a special project or you are unsure of what you are doing. You can pick up the phone and talk to Marshall directly.

Thanks Tim. I have used Costco, but I don't think I have my CS5 preferences set right. I found a UTUBE tutorial which helped a bit. However, that tutorial said to use AdobeRGB both in the camera and as a CS5 setting. Do you use sRGB in your color management?

Rob, I checked out this website. What a wealth of info. I'm going to read more in depth. I am trying to process on our laptop, and forgot my calibrator, But even when I use my better computer with calibration the pictures seem flat or off color. That website has so much infor, I think it will help. Thank you.

Thanks, I have used them and liked the results. I think it may be more of a case of my CS5 settings.
Thanks for the website.
