Gray Balancer and Mac OS9.2

2003-10-19 by dave08g

I recently downloaded the gray balancer onto my Mac.  I am trying to 
eliminate the ugly green cast that I get from midtones to highlights 
when the print (from 2200) is viewed in window light.  I realize that 
the core of the problem is metamerism and I am willing to live with a 
magenta/selenium cast under indoor lighting in order to reduce the 
green tone described above.

I am able to get a reasonably decent test print (printed from gray 
balancer) but when I try to print an image from photoshop, the image 
is worse than before.  I assume that I have not set up PS properly.  I 
have tried a variety of combinations but nothing seems to work so far.  
Does anyone  have any suggestions in terms of color management, 
profiles, modes, etc that wpould help to make a PS print the same 
tonally as the Gray Balancer test print?  

thank
