    Ebay seller

    Not demonising the seller by using your rights as a buyer.... no your not.... Filing a claim against a seller without a first point of contact is.... you should always attempt to sort a problem out with the seller first before making rash decisions. I'm also a power seller and sick annd...

    Ebay seller

    Or in that scenario you could contact the seller first and ask to return the item? Rather than go straight the eBay to file a complaint and demonising the seller. The seller has near perfect feedback for lots of high valued items so they must be doing something right. :p

    Proof Color & RGB in Photoshop

    Look in this menu: view --> proof setup menu I think you may have working CMYK selected. This will in most cases change shades ect.. ...... Does the output print look okay or do you have a variance?

    Proof Color & RGB in Photoshop

    Are you trying acheive more accurate output results? If so i'm not sure setting up your own custom profile is a great idea as it may conflict with the profile used by the print lab? Maybe see if they can supply a copy of their profile?

    What a disgrace.....

    If people are willing to submit the photos for free so be it! Theres nothing you can do about it! It is not at all wrong for them to do it. Is it also wrong for photo printers to offer 50 free prints when smaller rivals can't afford such? Is it wrong to eat a free muffin sample on display? Or...

    ProPhoto colour space. Would you use it?

    So its said ProPhoto contains a wider gamut of colours so accuracy of photo to print would naturally increase. But with most printers not recognising ProPhoto would you really use it? I had a photographer in about 6 weeks ago whose image was ProPhoto & because its not installed on my HP...

    My printers have the sprect.. build in (cant spell the word) :). HP Z2100 (x2) and HP Z3100. But colour managment in driver and PS settings is a nightmare and changing the slightest thing can make it go wrong! I need to train two staff to send things to print but having to select all the...

    RIp software.. whats it all about?

    There so many types on the market.. i'm now unsure exactly what the purpose is for..? Im having some colour management issues.. in that no matter what settings I choose I get wrong colours. So if I was using RIP software would that force the printer and image profiles to sync?

    no photoshop manage option in windows 7 cs3 i think..

    I use Windows 7 and this option isn't available, is this normal? I get the 'same as source' option, 'printer manage colours' Also -- this image shows 'Proof: n/a'. Mine has something different... it has the name of a profile. U.S. Web Coated or something?? I'm having issues with getting...

    Question about colour profiles and printing....

    Hi, For the last year I have sent images to print to my HP Z2100 finearts printers in the colour mode Adobe RGB(1998). The only time I have ever had problems was when the printer went under repair (understandable), when the printhead needed replacing (again, understandly since its general...

    Best way to convert canvas painting to digital image..

    Sorry -- I forgot to mention the most important part... Its on canvas, framed around stretcher-bars. So if there is another method other than a standard flat bed scanner that would be great. I don't have a good enough camera myself, but willing to pay for it to be done. By your response...

    I'm new to this website - but think it would be quite cool to be able to search for photographers in my local area.
