Greetings,
I use the 11880 and make my first steps with CM and printing and came across something I do not understand.
I work on my picture in ProPhotoRGB and now I wish to print it on Epson Premium Luster A2 cut sheet. The picture is a 5x multi exposure that I tonemapped in Photomatix and further tweaked in Photoshop CS3.
Now, say, I choose PS manages colors, for that proceedure I then applied the following steps:
1. Photoshop manages colors
2. rendering intend set to relative colormetric
When I press print and the Epson driver takes over, in PRINT SETTING, I disable colormanagement.
Sound's all right so far?
Now, if I go to PS and choose soft proof, custom, and choose the relevant paper profile for Luster Bi directional, which in this case is Pro11880 PLPP_Bi-D, well, this is not what you would want to print. <grin>
Couple of grabs to illustrate my problem:
1. Photoshop Print Menu
2. Next is where the Epson driver takes over and the settings
3. That is the way I want it to look in the print, and the way it looks in ProPhotoRGB
4. This is the way the softproof looks and the way it will print. <Sucker!>
I assume me being new to all that I miss something essential, user error, lack of knowledge, you name it.
Thanks for looking at it, suggestions most welcome and being re imbursed with a virtual Guiness!!
Greetings from Ireland and best wishes,
