Hi,

First, Monitor is calibrated (Eye One) and printer/paper/ink is calibrated
(Spyder 3 Print).

I had some family photos that I consolidated into a collage using Photo
Fusion. When I printed the individual photos they were fine; the collage
looked like the people were dead or at least very sick (pale/grey skin). I
printed the Spyder proof of flesh tones. The women in the top left and lower
right were bright orange.

In all cases soft-proof showed normal good photos.

Eventually I realized that the Spyder proof had no tag the individual photos
were tagged Adobe RGB and the collage was tagged sRGB.  Using PhotoShop to
tag the Spyder Proof with Adobe RGB and changing Photo Fusion to "Pass thru"
the individual image tags resulted in good looking prints.

So my question is: What's happening? Why doesn't the sRGB image print
correctly? Did Photo Fusion's conversion to sRGB mess things up? What does
the printer/profile do when the image is untagged as is the case with Spyder
Print images?

Thanks,

Bob Schoner
