Miriam H Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hi so sorry for not explaining my shelf properly, I'll try again : I attached some of my pictures: in the first one ( one boy ) - on my screen he's face is missing a bit of vibrance ... hes face is a bit pink - but when I add some levels on Photoshop the coloring is like the prints ! on the second picture (4 boys ) on my screen I can see the trees light GREEN but when I printed the pic the trees are ORANGE .... and the faces are lighter then my screen , on the third picture ( one girl) the trees are also missing some green and this picture is slightly darker in print ! Thank you so so so much for all you're help I don't know what I would have done if not for you Thank you Miriam -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Ok, so your screen is cooler than your prints. Follow the troubleshooting part of my calibration instructions with that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 By themselves, they looked fine. But of course if your screen doesn't match your prints, nothing is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miriam H Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Ok I will write again so it should be clear for as ! After trying to fin my coloring I decided to sit with the boss of the lab , I asked him what he does with all the photographers... he gave me a picture that has meany colors in it ( I think almost all ) in print and on my computer so that I can check the difference in coloring . I check and I can see that all the coloring is a bot different but the big different is the color GREEN and YELLOW the color green in print is like dark green and on my screen the coloring is lighter and the green is more like turquoise - green . I attached the picture my lab gave me so that you can see also the picture on the right ( the picture of the blue sky and the grass ) - in that picture my coloring is quit a bit different the grass on my screen is more yellow . About the soft-proofing I could not do it till now as I dint find my labs profile - my labs profile is Kodak NORITSU s/n 40100228 Thank you very very very much All the best - Miriam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you need a new lab. This is a test and he failed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miriam H Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Maybe I should try once again as I tried meany labs but he - the one I use is the best here in ISRAEL I know photographers from all over the country that use him only and every body advised me to go there ... What should I do ? Also he has a grate service and always help when I ask Thank you ! is the calibrator not spouse to help me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miriam H Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 there was another photographer there while I was there and she told me that she changed the colors on her screen to be like the picture the lab gave her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
