Good News !!!!

2006-07-29 by ed_limmy

Dear Dave,

Many many many thanks for your effort in sorting me out. The 
softproof shadowed blue (it went shiny black in the shadows) is now 
GONE!!!! My softproof looks incredible now.

And guess what !!!!

I'll print some more prints with the profile and wait for it to dry 
to then determine the monitor-print matching. Initial results is that 
the print is very close to the monitor soft proof now. And I mean 
very very close. I'm so excited. This is incredible.

I have to be careful with metamerism. Noticed that as i swing around 
the print actually changes from cold to warm back to cold depending 
on the quality of light. And as the sun ducks behind clouds or comes 
out - the prints changes from being cold to warm too!

Oh Yeah, one more tip or maybe something you can reinforce. I used 
another packet of Photo Paper Pro bought from another country and the 
prints was yucky. So will you advise that we buy the papers in bulk 
so that it'll be the same batch and it'll print all right with the 
profile done on the same batch of paper. Just because its the same 
paper type does not gurrantee it'll perform 100% identical if its 
from another batch. I remember 1 year ago when i printed the A4 
picture to the 4R size prints, the results were like it was from a 
different paper type although it was still the Photo Paper Pro 
(canon).

When I first read that you'll get 1st time success, i was quite 
skeptical but I'm a believer now.

The adjustment sliders will also affect the soft proof right?
If the answer is yes, then if i need to add 'warm up' by adding 
yellow to match the softproof - how do i do that?

Thank-you Dave.
