Re: Yellow cast to prints

2006-03-11 by Johnny Eades

Hello again folks,

I narrowed the source of the yellow cast to not having run ACR
calibrator after calibrating my monitor with the Spyder2Pro. I ran ACR
calibrator and now the prints don't have that yellow cast (at least
the last one I printed of the one that had the yellow cast before).
