irritating prints I use a canon d20 and for the most part an very very happy with the results, however I did a recent senior picture and family picture shoot and am very disappointed with the out come. What seems very good on the camera and computer comes out horride on prints. There is a large amount of pink hue and fuzzyness ive ajusted it all on the computer but cant get it to average out. Any advice? Since that shoot all my prints look pink fuzzy and bad, rather upsetting.

Have you calibrated your monitor and your prints?

You may need to recalibrate your printer. Are you using good paper? Have you cleaned the ink nozzles? Do you have each ink cartridge in its proper slot? I'm not being insulting, just thinking aloud.... Is the printer new? Old? Good shape?

Katie, Just a shot in the dark here, but are you using the right ICC profile? I can print form PhotoImpact Pro and get results pretty close to what I see on screen. However, if I print from PS, there's no tellin' what it will come out like. Using the wrong ICC profile, or no profile at all, can make a world of difference.

Hello Katie, I'm with Bob on this one. 1) ICC Profile This is fine as long as either your printer or the lab is using the same ICC Profile. 2)RGB Save I used to save and shoot in this color gamut, but many labs are now using sRGB, and I have noticed color shifts. If you are using a 1 hr joint to process your digital images, turn off the "ICC profile" before you save it. Many photogs who want consistant results will ask the lab we do business with to provide the "ICC Profile"...That way, once our monitors are calibrated, what we see is what we will get n the final print. Oh..ICC stands for "International Color Consortium" in case you were curious. :) All the best, Pete
