Hi
I need some help to neutralise whatever Vista is doing in the colour
management tab in printer properties for my Epson R1800 photo-printer. There
are a huge number of options there but it is not clear what each one does and
so far I have been unable to find any guide. I am an experienced Photoshop
user used to working in a managed colour system -- my Eizo monitor is colour
calibrated and I am using specific ICC profiles for the Epson paper. I have
recently migrated from Windows XP to Vista.
The situation is that an image file displayed on my screen is a good match
for a print made from Photoshop/Windows XP which is as I usually get so it
seems that the monitor is not a problem.
But when I print exactly the same file (using exactly the same settings in
Photoshop) from Vista there is trouble -- the whites are still white but the
blue sky has taken on a yellowish tinge whilst red rocks are washed out and
have a greenish tinge. The mapping of colours seems to have been affected by
Vista and so far I have not found a way of neutralising whatever Vista is
doing. I wanted to do all my colour management from Photoshop.
Look forward to hearing from you,
