Canon 10D Red Tint White Balance to Print


I recently purchased a Canon 10D and while I am happy with its performance and the the way the images look on screen in photoshop, but when I print them (or print preview) they have a reddish tint, they do not have a tint when viewed on screen. I am shooting in sunny outdoor conditions with auto white balance on. How can I stop this from happening again, and how can I correct the images I have already taken. I have tried adjusting the images in photoshop but still am not happy with the results.

  It sounds like a printer profiling problem to me. When you use print preview what are you previewing? (ie. what profile). If you are not going to change your profile you have to make an adjustment layer that will remove red (pull down on the red channel in curves) and apply it to all images before printing. They willl look too cyan on screen but should print ok. You have to experiment to determine how much red to remove.

Or you could get an accurate profile for your paper and ink combo and never worry about it again!

  I'm looking for a good mail in order photo lab. Anyone use any, that's any good?
