Hi To Everyone,

Just a quick intro. I am a serious amateur landscape photographer who has sold a couple images, and also like printing big prints of my favorite shots for my own walls at home. I have an older Spyder 3 Pro calibrator that I have had for a while, and a wide gamut monitor, an Asus PA246, that I calibrated with it. I shoot RAW, and use LIghtroom for my post processing. My system runs Win7 64bit. I have an older Canon Pixma Pro 9000, but after lots of trouble getting output that I was happy with, I have more recently been printing through Zenfolio (which is where my images and website are hosted) with mostly better results, although I still seem to have questions about colorspace management and color profile usage.

I feel like I SHOULD be able to understand and implement my color management much better, but I seem to have lots of issues, and so many questions I am not really sure exactly where to start.

So I guess I will try to hang out here and get a little acquainted with the forum, and then try to ask some pertinent questions soon.

Best Regards,

Mike L.

Mike:

Good to have you here.  I need to get my printers working again and 
produce some new profiles, so it's been a while since I've calibrated my 
equipment.

Go ahead and ask your questions.  This group is monitored by Datacolor, 
so you will probably get some quick answers.
