Re: [Digital BW] OT: Photoshop 7 Color Settings

2003-03-27 by Stephen Jennings

Turns out I had to rebuild my profile. I had David Tobie make one for
Lumijet Preservation Silver and Epson Archival mat that was great.  Just
bought a box of Epson Enhanced Mat that I thought had changed only in name,
but I guess I was wrong.  I reprofiled and am back in business.
