Tired of dull prints?

Tired of dull prints?

If you are frustrated with images that look bright on screen but dull when printed, watch this video to understand a bit about Color Profiles and Color Numbers. The basics are that when using a Convert command you are preserving the appearance and in order to do that you must convert the Color Numbers. When you use the Assign command you are preserving the original color numbers but the Appearance will change in the assigned profile. ALL CONVERTS AND ASSIGNS should only be done on a flattened file. The instructions in this video will show you why your images may come back from the printer looking dull and how to correct this.

Barring my own experiments and test prints, I learned most of what I do know about Color Management 10 years ago by digesting every PDF that the GREAT Andrew Rodney provided for FREE on his Web site:
