Levels Adjustments

2006-10-31 by potomacbassfisher

About 10% of my work is scaning pencil and oil art and printing.  In 
order to match the original I always must play with levels in Photoshop 
to add punch back to the image.  Is there a rule of thumb to doing this 
or should this always just be eyeballed?

The scanner is an epson and is profiled.  The printer is a Epson 
9600/4000 profiled with PFP on Hahnemuhle (spelling?) paper.

Any suggestions?

P.S. The other 90% of my work is done with images printed on canvas 
that are created in the computer by an artist that I print for.  He 
uses totally out of gamut colors and I 500th the request to get the 
blues away from the purples when they run out of gamut.  I think there 
is room here for someone to start a business tweaking PFP files for out 
of gamut blues.  Seriously if anyone can tweak my file I will pay.
