videointhesky 0 #1 July 25, 2004 Question For all of the PhotoShop & Digital Image Editing Wizards What are the hot tips, how to’s or advice for adjusting skydiving digital photos taken in the air or on the ground that you want to print as a photo? I’m using a canon 10D I use Photoshop CS (8.0) under adjustments I have been using levels, contrast, curves, and hue & saturation. I also use image size with resample image unchecked to make sure that I have the correct size to print an 8x10, 8x12, 11x14, and 12x18. In addition to image size I check the canvas size to. Thanks for any help or advice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #2 July 25, 2004 I think one of the more important things is to learn how to deal with ColorSync issues. ColorSync in MacSpeak is sometimes referred to as ICC in other places (also known as color management). Your camera, computer editing program, computer monitor and printer might all have a different idea of what "blue" is (for instance). Without having your system set up correctly, you could be adjusting a good photo taken by your camera to display well on your crappy monitor but then when you print it out it will look crappy again because the printer just doesn't know what the hell you wanted. ColorSync tries to pass the information along from camera to printer consistantly. In order to do this you need to calibrate your entire system.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zee 0 #4 July 25, 2004 How about printing to the web? I've calibrated my system between the monitor and the printer - I don't use a digital camera, I scan slides and negatives - They all come out fine when I print them, the pictures come out just as they look on the monitor but, when I convert the pictures from the tiff format (that I use for printing) to a .jpg format, that I use for the web, they usually come out quite a bit darker than the originals. Is that just due to the conversion between tiff to jpg or could that have something to do with icc profile that I'm using for my monitor?

quade 4 #5 July 25, 2004 Ahhh . . . Compressing photos (like for use on the web) carries with it a number of goofy little issues that can muddy them up. Among them is just resizing the photo before you even compress it. Here is a really old page I wrote a few years back that explained the major issue in importing digital images into iMovie for use in video. The same sort of thing happens when you take an image taken with a 10D and try to resample and squeeze it down to web sizes. That's not to say you can't do it, but the image will always lose something in the translation.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
