[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I discovered the problem in LR - one of the color profile things was not on zero. I 'zero'ed' out and the magenta went away. My only concern now is that the deep shadow area has 'clumpy' looking grain - sorry about the nomenclature but I am a real newbie to this stuff. I have run into other print management/profile problems but now realize all will be ok once I figure it all out. Most of what you just wrote makes little sense to me now and I have a whale of a lot of reading to do. Thank you all for your help. Next I'll have to figure out how to get this stuff up to the LUG web - whew, computers is hard work!
