Digital BW, The Print

Sara, I used Blurb just for that reason. They sent me a profile so I could soft proof my images and the book came out beautiful. No issues what so ever. Also the B&W images I included had to be .png.
No issues with the B&W

In my color images this is very apparent, but even in my B&W images - which they require you to send as sRGB not grayscale - it's also there, also mostly in the shadow areas. It's kind of an all-over contrast reduction with a magenta cast that affects every color differently in ways I don't even know how to compensate for. To top that off, once the images are uploaded onto the template in their program, the colors change yet again...is this a monitor thing?
