Why are my soft proofed prints always too dark in the dark areas and why are the colors, especially red, washed out.

Use a calibrated camera and monitor. Work in PS CC. Have a controlled work room. Soft proof according to Jeff Schewe of the 'Luminous Landscape'. Printing on a new Epson r2880 with a custom profile. Use fresh Epson Luster paper. The problem keeps persisting no matter what I do. Any and all help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Please turn off your auto reply in your emails.  The forums are designed to be used through a web browser while logged in to the forum.  We don't need to see stuff like your "On Sun, Oct 12, 2014 at 10:50 PM, station_two <[email protected]>".  Everybody sees everyone's post.

Now, did they first send you a target file which you then printed on your particular printer using your intended paper and inks, then snail-mailed the print to them in California in order for them to make your custom printer profile for you, which they then in turn emailed to you?   If that was not the case, you do not have a custom profile at all, but a meaningless stock one.  Even if they used a printer model exactly like yours when they created the profile, it was not done on your particular unit and therefore is not valid.
On the other hand, if the procedure above was indeed followed correctly, then that custom printer profile is showing you exactly what your images will look like once you print them.
That's precisely what soft proofing is for, so you can adjust your image while in Proof view.
Hope this clears it up for you.

  • HT201359 Why the ISTORE of Malta is not up to date with the latest movies and series like the UK & USA and why old movies are being uploaded .

    Why the ISTORE of Malta is not up to date with the latest movies and series like the UK &amp; USA and why old movies are being uploaded .
    I believe the apple should be universal in all the products and a small island like Malts should have the same products for sale on ISTORE like of the UK and USA.

    The iTunes and App stores are inherently different in different countries.  Local laws on copyright and other limits on the distribution of intellectual property make it impossible for Apple to simply put everything in every store.  Sometimes, the owner of the intellectual property does not allow it to be distributed everywhere.  Keep in mind that Apple does not own the music, books, movies and such that they allow for sale in their store front, so they do not necessarily have any say in what may, or may not appear in what store.

  • I accidently closed my window with all my app tabs, now the only window that opens was a 2nd one I had open. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab?

    Then the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

  • Why is the word and holiday Christmas no longer in the Firefox dictionary, and why did I have to add it myself?

    When I typed in Christmas, it was underlined in red. Which means that it wasn't in the dictionary. When I right-clicked on it, there were no spelling suggestions and I had to add it to the dictionary myself. Christmas is a word and as far as I know, is in all of the paper dictionaries and probably in the encyclopedias. Christmas is also a Christian holiday, and these days has been turned into a pagan holiday, but most Americans celebrate Christmas. Why is it not automatically in the dictionary? Christ and Christian is in the dictionary but not Christmas. I'm confused, and I'm sure a whole lot of others are too. I know I am making a big deal out of what seems to be nothing, but I just thought that I would bring it to your attention.

    Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?
    You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.<br />
    At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
    *Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
    *Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
    You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
    *Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/
    Current Firefox versions hide Check Spelling in the right-click context menu of a text area if the web page disables the spelling check via a spellcheck="false" attribute of this element.<br />
    You can right-click in the text editor area and use "Inspect Element" to see if this text area has a spellcheck="false" attribute.<br />
    Removing this spellcheck="false" attribute by selecting it via a double-click and using the Delete or Backspace key should make the Check Spelling item in the right-click context menu reappear.

    Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
    I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
    Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
    You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.
    The web site below tells you how:

  • When i want to return to my home page I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want how can I stop this as i have too many tabs open.

    When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.

    You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that flush the tab?
    Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

  • Need to backup and remove photo library form my iphone.  This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed.  So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll.  If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.

    Need to backup and remove photo library from my iphone.  This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed.  So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll.  If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.
    So this is a 2 part question:
    1) how to I backup the Photo Library to my new hard drive (as the last one was unrecoverable but previously backed up)
    2) how do I remove the Photo Library form my phone (preferably after backup in item 1)
    Thanks, Janis

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.

    I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
    Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash.

  • I have a macbook pro, and i want to transfer my hard drive from my macbook, but the display drivers and such are different.  How do i do this?

    I have a macbook pro, and i want to transfer my hard drive from my macbook (500g), but the display drivers and such are different.  How do i do this and is it possible?
    The Macbook Pro has Mac OS X 10.4.11 (70g hard drive)
    The Macbook has Mac OS X 10.6.8 (500g hard drive)

    The MacBook's hard drive lacks the necessary hardware drivers to boot the MacBook Pro even though it has a much newer OS on it; that's why simply moving it into the Pro doesn't work. Presumably you have a very old MB Pro, because only the very first MB Pro model (produced January to May 2006) was ever offered with an 80GB hard drive. Are you sure you want to move your big drive into such an old machine? The MacBook must be newer, because the first MacBook was introduced just as the first Pro model was discontinued.

  • Optical drive on iMac at work, barely one year old, won't read CD's....disc utilities shows disc unavailable!  Rarely used and out of warranty, what a rip off!!  I have been on MACS since the 80's and things are getting more and more difficult

    Optical drive on iMac at work, barely one year old, won't read CD's....disc utilities shows disc unavailable!  Rarely used and out of warranty, what a rip off!!  I have been on MACS since the 80's and things are getting more and more difficult to deal with. Why did it quit after barely being used? Any help from Apple?

    It depends on what you mean by "barely one year old". If the iMac is only a couple of days out of warranty, Apple's been known to make exceptions and extend the warranty, though it's by no means guaranteed. If it's several days or more out of warranty, then Apple will fix it, if it's a hardware problem, but the repair won't be free. This is no different now then it would have been with a Mac purchased back in the 80s.
    Why the drive failed, if indeed it has, is impossible to say. Could have been a static shock, a weak component that failed when power was applied, or a mechanical fault in one of the tiny parts used in optical drives and hard drives that finally broke.
    Regards.

  • How the Payload Message and Logs are stored in the B1i Database Table: BZSTDOC

    I would appreciate it if someone could provide any documentation regarding B1i database further maintenance.
    for example:
    I want to know how the payload message and logs are stored in the table BZSTDOC, and how can we retrieve the payload message directly from the column DOCDATA.
    As described in the B1iSNGuide05 3.2 LogGarbageCollection:
    to avoid the overload of the B1i Database, I set the Backup Buffer to 90 days : so this means Message Logs from the last 90 days will always be available, but is there some way we can save those old messages to a disk so that I can retrieve the payload message anytime?
    in addition, let’s assume the worst, the B1iSN server or the B1i database damaged, Can we just simply restore the B1i database from a latest backup DB then it can work automatically after the B1iSN server is up and running again?
