Re: Printfix Pro and blues

2006-03-19 by mamemarquees

I guess I don't really understand... I would expect the softproof to 
barely change what I see when I don't softproof.  I have used 
Profile prism in the past and have a really nice profile for the 
Blue image I referenced, when I PRINT it, or SOFTPROOF it, it looks 
almost exactly like it does without applying the softproof.  With PP 
I never had much of an issue with the blues, it was some of the Reds 
that I had issues with, and is the main reason that I purchased PFP.

I tried editing using the softproof and PS to edit the image back to 
what I intended, but I can't get the blues even close to what I want 
them to be... and it is really difficult to chose one color in the 
palet and place it on the image and have it be a totally different 
color.
