Title: Photo is Muddy Looking Post by: sync007 on October 14, 2019, 01:58:03 PM I have a photo that I did in Capture One and then wanted to print it in Qimage, I have 2 calibrated EIZO monitors why is the Qimage photo so dark and muddy looking compared to the Capture One image? Both images attached.
Title: Re: Photo is Muddy Looking Post by: admin on October 14, 2019, 02:08:15 PM So you developed the image in C1 and then saved. What format did you use when you saved the developed copy? What profile shows on the bottom status bar in QU when you hold the mouse over the thumbnail?

Title: Re: Photo is Muddy Looking Post by: sync007 on October 14, 2019, 08:00:08 PM Ok I did process this one out and saved it but as you can see where I removed sensor dust shows up in the image? I saved it as a 100% jpg approx 10mb in size.
Title: Re: Photo is Muddy Looking Post by: admin on October 16, 2019, 01:56:22 PM If you removed sensor dust in C1 and then saved as a JPG, that would be the fault of C1 since it created the image. Or do you mean you removed sensor dust in Qimage with the Vanish tool?
Mike Title: Re: Photo is Muddy Looking Post by: sync007 on October 16, 2019, 02:48:51 PM No C1 so yes it appears that C1 is to blame, also is there a way to see how much ink is used on a print?
Title: Re: Photo is Muddy Looking Post by: admin on October 16, 2019, 06:45:07 PM Only your printer driver knows how much ink is used so there is no way to tell how much ink is used unless your printer has a utility for those stats. There is an ink analysis in the recall job dialog but it reports coverage by print area, not ink.
