Yep, jpegs for sure.

When people talk of "magenta vs yellow" it makes me suspect they're myopically looking at skintones only. Can you promise me you're looking at ENTIRE photos when you're telling me that the print is yellow?

No, come on, these are crazy noisy.

Oh boy. This is going to be a challenge. Go ahead and do your raw processing first, then post it again for me.

Which Spyder4 is it?

Either way would be fine.

Oh gee, the whiskers will make it more complicated, but we'll see what we can do. Go ahead and do your raw processing as usual, then post this 100% crop again for me.

What single colour would you like them to be?

And what will the photos be used for, exactly?

Gee, this is a fat lot of BS. They don't need PDF files. Just send jpegs.

No, you've done exactly the right thing. Your edited master files must be in sRGB, as usual. Converting to CMYK is simply part of the output process, just before saving as jpeg.

No, that's all. You just need to ask exactly what CMYK profile to use. It's just photos? Nothing else?

How many images did you try? Sometimes these kinds of problems are specific to only one file, and sometimes they're widespread. By the way, you must NEVER use the Eraser tool. Ever.

I think the Handyman Method should do ok.

This is an excellent question. I would assume that they mean you should allow 3mm extra on each side, for a total of 6 extra millimetres. So your entire file would be 303x426mm. This is extremely unlikely, but to be safe, you should make sure that nothing you don't wish to lose is closer than 6mm to the edge. They haven't given you enough information yet. Have you read this? What software are you using to design this file? If Photoshop, please also read this.

Good job!

Right, so maybe it is a corrupted calibration profile? I'd definitely calibrate again.

Right. And no calibration?

Yes, you're on there, don't worry. You'll hear from me soon. What screen do you have?

As I can't see what you're talking about, it leads me to think it's a problem with your screen, or your absence of calibration, rather than your image files. Have you viewed this post on another screen?

How does this look? Done using this method. Download the PSD file

No, sorry. But as long as you did the entire edit non-destructively, with adjustment layers, you can simply drag and drop them to your other photos, by doing this.

No, just the cloning step. Where you partially cloned out the cream dog in the foreground. Should look akin to this: http://www.damiensymonds.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/blur6.jpg

May I see the version with your cloning? The whole photo?
