The Ilford Profile is the problem. It also renders saturated blues as purple, most frustrating in landscapes with blue skies. Here?s what I do for color printing with it: 1) In Lightroom or Photoshop, set your printing for ?Printer Manages Colors.? You won?t be using a profile, we?re going to let the Epson driver handle color management. 2) In the Epson driver, set the media type to ?Premium Semigloss.? Set Color Settings to ?Epson Color Controls.? In the Print Settings screen, choose ?Advanced Settings? and choose either sRGB or Adobe RGB. Choose the one that corresponds to the colorspace the image you?re printing is in. 3) Prints will have much more accurate color but may look slightly too dark. In the advanced settings, changing the Gamma from 2.2 to 1.8 will lighten the image enough to overcome that, though some occasionally look too light most will print perfectly this way. I made a video tutorial you can watch on how to do this: https://youtu.be/roWAfDfyCTA I hope this fixes your color problem. If not, you?re going to have to switch to another paper, or pay someone to do a custom profile for you. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Like My Work on Facebook On 4/8/18, 8:59 PM, "LUG on behalf of Tina Manley via LUG" <lug-bounces+chris=chriscrawfordphoto.com at leica-users.org on behalf of lug at leica-users.org> wrote: >I can't explain it then because I used the exact same digital photo and >profile and on the Ilford paper there are green shadows.
