This package includes the necessary printer profiles for color correction when printing from programs such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom.

I will create a custom paper profile for your own unique paper and printer combination. This is the best way ensure accurate color reproduction because even printers of the same make and model can have individual variations that can affect your results.

Ensure that you have the most accurate color reproduction possible by using a custom printer profile.

Generating your file requires the following steps:

1. Purchase the service.

2. I will email you a .TIFF file to print, and you send the print to me.

3. I use the X-Rite system to scanning your first print and generate up to three additional .TIFF files. These I will email to you for printing and returning to me.

4. Once I receive the prints from you, I will scan them and generate the .icm file/s to be used in your workflow. In total, you will need to make at least four prints.

Because I work from the paper and prints you supply, the resulting .icm files will be tailored to your system. Normal turnaround time is about two weeks, depending on the mailing service you choose.

Two profiles are provided: a standard color printing profile and an optimized black/white printing profile. Note that the black/white will convert all color images to black and white. If your black/white image has any toning or color variation that you wish to keep, use the color printing profile.
