Re: Change contrast in prints

2007-06-18 by Daniel Jackson

Joe,

Print out the 21-step target and check that it looks OK, with a good range of tones from 
white to black, and if you have a spectrometer, check the densities against the ideal 
density chart in the QTR distribution. Assuming that's all OK, your printing setup is
probably fine, and your contrast issue is in the particular image you're trying to print.
Best way to adjust contrast (in my opinion) is to apply a curve in a layer in Photoshop.
