Correcting colors in printouts?

Post by graphicsnewbie »

I'm newbie in printing photographs and i just tried to print photo of person.

Tanned skin looked pink.

Does GraphicConverter have feature which corrects colors if i use scanner to scan printed image and let GraphicConverter to analyze it and correct colors?

Hi,

is the display with color profile active? (That is the little wheel at the bottom left of the window).

The image will be transferred with this profile for printing. So, the print out should normally nearly match.

There is wheel but nothing happens if i click it and i think it is dimmed.

Assign Profile... has "Use ColorSync color matching" checked and Source is None. Under it is Display Color LCD. I have Retina MBP.

If i change None to Color LCD then picture in display becomes little darker and circle button works.

I tried to print it and end result looks less tanned and more pink.

Is it possible that Night Shift causes this?

Ah - so, the source image has no color profile.
