Title: Editing an existing printer profile Post by: Premco on June 07, 2009, 12:04:52 PM Hello All, I had bought Profile Prism a few years back, which went with the old hard drive.
I then decided to buy an I1 which got me really close to what I wanted. Since I have no longer have PP, can anyone advise me if I can use PP to edit an existing printer profile for a minor tweek. eg: In photoshop I can go to "selective color" and reduce 5 values of magenta from the "Reds" option, to reduce the pink in skin tones. TIA Kelvin Title: Re: Editing an existing printer profile Post by: Terry-M on June 07, 2009, 02:56:55 PM I don't think you can edit a non-PP profile in PP because you have to open the scanned target image to make edits.
If you have the full Eye-One kit which does printer profiles, there is an editor module for the software: "Eye-One Editor Module Fine-tune your profiles with the Eye-One Editor module" Qimage does have a "Selective Color" feature in its Batch Filter that can be used to make corrections; the resulting filter would be then used as a Print Filter.

I do have the I1 profile editor module, although I found it disapointing as it applies an overall correction, not the specific adjustment I am after. The batch mode in QI is something I will investigate. Title: Re: Editing an existing printer profile Post by: wolverine@MSU on June 27, 2009, 01:23:44 PM Take a look at AMS Color Darkroom.

Or Similar control/editing functions that we can utilise with the confidence of similar functionality. Why I ask this is... that I have been using PS since the Boer war (lol) and I know what I need to do with PS's control options to get to where my finished products ends up. I have several printers that range from credit card, to LFP, I need to tweek my own I1 generated profiles so all my printers products match up. In the case of the credit card printer, after general file color correction, I then need to run a PS action over these batch up files to get me closer to where I need to be, which is "color matched". I can live with it, but I reckon it could be better with an edited profile, however it is originally created. Kelvin. |
