Brent,

Thanks. Your advice helped with all but one item.

Oddly enough, The only print matching problem I have now is with a particular series of landscape shots. The subject area is light beige to pink granite, evergreens, with a cirrus cloud and blue sky (Wichita Mountains in OK, if curious). I've attempted all combinations of color management, all with disappointing results. The evergreens are nearly gray, the rocks and cliffs are too red. Blues are good (dark blue water, medium sky).

This series of files were the first I attempted to print after I bought Photoshop. All other photos are print-matched to the montior. Thoughts?

V/R,

Mark Nault

What is your "Print Preview" setup ? If you use "Printer color Management" as the output space profile, then you should probably be using "color controls" in the Advanced settings of the Epson driver. Source space should be Adobe RGB or sRGB, depending upon your color management mode. Either one should print pretty accurately, but the AdobeRGB has a wider color gamut and will represent pastels better. Intent should probably be relative colorimetric, but "perceptual" might occasionally be a better choice.

I recently purchased the Canon Digital rebel. Makes my 3 year old
Kodak digital look like a box brownie (remember those)

Does anyone know of a plug in that will allow Elements work with the
CRW (raw format). Canon tells me they do not know of any, suggest I
contact Adobe.

Figured I would try here first.

PS....I promise after the first of the year I'll get back to the
challenges. Right now with the Holidays, helping to care for two
grandchildren (age 2 and 5), having a bad cold and the other day
twisting my knee.

Good thing with the kneww, it gives the grandkids a chance to hide
grandpa's cane so he can't catch them GRIN

I'm jealous! Those seem like really great cameras and I want one! Congrats
on getting one and keep us informed as to how you like it.

In three simple words " I LOVE IT" and will love it more as I learn
what the camera can do.

The new camera has forced one change for me. Up until now, all my
photos were filed on CD's. The new digital rebel produces files
around 6 meg each. I can see that starting in 2004, all photos will be
filed to a DVD, The CD was rapidly running out of space.

Still hope someone will be able to answer my question (below)
