ICC profiles and printing

As you probably know I organised the Tavistock Lions 2024 calendar, and many of this groups members donated photos. Thank you. However, I noticed that some of the pictures when printed by Tradeprint, came out somewhat darker than the originals seemed to be. Max's sunset over Brentor was particularly dark IMHO.


So I made an enquiry to Tradeprint about what happened and they said they normalise all image to a specific CMYK profile (see link).


Now I have this information / ICC profile, what would I need to do with it to ensure that any photos submitted for the 2025 calendar appear as "God intended" when printed?

Thanks

Hi Graham, double clicking on the supplied profile should load it into Photoshop. Then in Photoshop open the image you want to print select edit then select convert to profile then choose the ICC profile that they have provided. I think most photographers who print, lighten their print images because screens are overly bright, a starting point is levels and move the mid slider to read 1.2. I'm sure others have different methods but its worked for me in the past especially when using DSColour labs.

Hope this helps,

Chris H

Member Profiles

Hi all,

Some members seem to be having difficulties in editing their profiles on the website, specifically uploading a profile picture and header background image. I can see that some members, incluing myself, have managed to do so without any issues.

Please can I ask you for the following information:

  1. Have you managaed to edit your profile and upload a picture? Yes or No.

  2. In either case, please can you let me know: what operating system are you using, and what browser are you using.

  3. If you know the file size of the image you uploaded, that could also be useful.

Forum Categories

Hi All,


The forum is up and running. Now we need to start using it.

With that in mind, I need to create categories for discussions on specific topics so members dont need to be bothered about things that dont interest them. I have created a category for Adobe Photoshop as I am sure there will be plenty of discssion around that.

Please can I have suggestions for other categories and I will create them.

Thanks

Chris
