Re: [colorvision_group] Printfix Pro and blues

2006-03-19 by randy

Hello everyone,  I can handle a little color shift here and there. I do 
90% custom portraits for a living and the rest editorial, so exact color 
is not necessary. As long as it is close and looks good.  The skin tones 
are the most important of anything. I was very impressed with PFP skin 
tones so far.  It was also able to correct the green blocking shadow 
problem of the actkinson profile that I was having also.  But I cant 
deal with the posterization that occurs along with the color shift. And 
sometimes the color shift is pretty severe.  And if doctor pro only uses 
PS tools for correction I cant see this as a global solution either.  
The actkinson profile doesn't have this problem, so I know it is 
correctable.  I believe like Xun, that  the problem lies in the 
algorithm.  But all I ask for is a solution. If I am at fault is some 
way, please help me correct it so I can go on using this product and 
making a living.  If this issue is not correctable,  then let me know so 
I wont spend anymore time looking for one.

Thanks and have a good day.
