Color correction for giclee prints
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 7:48 pm
Hi,
I am a painter and graphic artist. A moderate Photoshop user and I am trying to get giclee prints made for my oils on canvas paintings. What drives me nuts is how much colors change from the original to a digital photograph and then further onto a canvas or paper print.
What is the best way to match colors to look the same as my original paintings, instead of retouching and taking prints again and again. Also I'd like to avoid taking the printer's time to color correct each painting.
I tried matching it thru the info pallette as monitor calibration can mislead your eye, but I still don't seem to quite get to the right place.
Can anyone please give me a solution to this problem? I'm a fast learner and slightly Photoshop biased
