Hi, is there a quick way to warm up an image? I'm using a new paper that's a little colder than what I'm used to. I'm printing from .tiff files. I'm using the correct printer profiles and everything, the normal papers I've used in the past look fine, it's just this one paper prints out with a slightly blue and green color cast. Thanks.

Clyde,
It would seem that the proper way of counteracting a result as you describe whould be to find/make a proper printer profile.

In a straight answer to your question as posed, you could put the Tiff into the Image Editor, and first try using the White Balance tool and click on something a bit to the cool/blue side (watch the RGB readings as you mouse around over the image).
Using the slightly blue spot pretending it was white, as the WB point will shift the image warmer.
That would be a quick way.
A longer way might be to use SEL COLOR, and customize the image's tone in there. It's pretty simple.
Use the "N" row, the bottom row, and raise the red change column from default 1.0 to 1.1 or 1.2.
That will do it for you.

What kind of paper and what printer?   Just nosy!  Asking from curiosity!

Hi Fred, thanks for the response. I'll try your suggestion. I have a Canon Pro9000II and the paper is Luster Pro. The other papers, Platinum, Matte, Semi-Gloss all come out just how I like. Only this Luster which I just got is slightly cold.
