That's right. And that's because the green on your screen is unprintable. It's simply brighter than ink can reproduce. That Dell Ultrasharp screen is excellent. You'll love having more space to work on. If you can get it for a good price, go for it, you'll like it. But it won't help the way your greens print. Only a soft-proofing profile can do that.

Remember this? You said the yellow and green don't print like they appear on your screen in this image, isn't that right?

Gosh yes.

That is a very good screen. But it won't make ANY difference to this issue. Those yellows and greens on the file you showed me are unprintable.

No, if you want it lighter, use a lighter gradient in that area.

This is old, but is it still relevant? http://www.designeasy.co/2016/02/fix-missing-tools-in-photoshop-cc-2015.html

I don't know the answer to this off the top of my head, sorry. Have ALL the tools expanded like this, or only this tool?

Hi Stacey, remind me which version of PS?

Yep, that seems better.

As usual, it's this method. Download PSD

How about this?

You're welcome. Post any time.

How about this? I'm not fond of the bottom right-hand corner. Really it should have baseboard there.

Right there, in Camera Raw. You click on that link at the bottom of ACR to change the colour space to sRGB the way it should be. That's right. It's genuinely raw data. Your setting in ACR dictates the colour space. No, preference doesn't come into it. The colour space MUST be set to sRGB.

Brisbane.

Good. The backdrop is fixed, as usual, with this method. Download PSD

That's right, it's not in Photoshop. He has to send you the specific file for his printer. This is very common. All the good labs in America, and here in Australia, provide this file to their clients as a matter of course.

That's impossible, and she's an idiot. DON'T listen to her.

That's not the worst of it. https://www.damiensymonds.net/art_tscs000.html

Of course the calibrator is vitally important. But it's not relevant RIGHT NOW. Yes, ask him for the profile again if you think it will help.

What you need to understand is that this is not just you. Those yellows and greens are completely unprintable. They'll appear dark and different on every screen, and in every print. This is not a problem for you alone. The way we get around this is by soft-proofing. And to do that, the lab needs to provide you with the profile file. If the lab can't do that, they're not professional enough.

Then you need a new lab. This is a test and he failed it.

Great! Could you email me that file? info@damiensymonds.net

If you sat down with the boss of the lab, and he DIDN'T give you the soft-proofing profile, it's NOT a good lab. Find another one.
