On some occasions I need good quality slides made from digital files and I can't afford to pay a lot of money for them, so I use service companies that will do them for approximately $2.50 each. I have tried several companies, and some of these companies seem to give reproducable results, but I have found none that give me slides that have the colors and luminosity just right (The closest I have come is Slides.com.). I have my monitor profiled with the Spyder2Pro system, and the files print out reasonably correctly (on an Epson 2200 printer) with the "canned" profiles, and even better with profiles I prepare using PrintFix Pro. From this evidence I presume that I am making properly color-managed files. I can adjust the files so that the slides come out somewhat better by using (usually substantial) adjustments in Photoshop of levels, curves and/or color balance, but it is hard to get everything just right. Is there any way, preferably using the Colorvision products, but any way that works, of creating a good profile that I can apply to the files before I send them to the service company to have the slides made that will make the resultant slides better? Thanks for any help you can give. Bailey
