Aphid in smoke
« on: April 24, 2015, 05:42:46 pm »

No clue what aphids look like but, had to call it something???  I'm trying to work with smoke images and am having troubles with color.
This is a test for a Living Room wall hanger...we have the original blue on black followed by the same with more of a purple look.
You gotta choose one that you must hang, black/purple or a different combo than purple...printed on either canvas or metal...you choose.

I think you may  have stumbled across the wrong forum. I am not seeing anything in your post that has to do with color management.

I agree but it's a super cool image and we should give the OP a pass.
I'd print both, put em side by side.

Only if one of your monitors shows the same image blue and the other purple  ;)

I'ld go with the blue on black due to it's higher contrast against a dark background that will register better hanging on a white wall.

The second purplish one looks too 60's tie dye t-shirt art where the first has a more nautical James Cameron's deep sea creature vibe.

I prefer the blue/black version.

To me it looks more like a horseshoe crab than an aphid.   ;)

That's tougher. They are both fine, but I wouldn't show them at the same time. The context, or where they are to be shown, would help to decide.
