Month: July 2016

… can be quite the challenge. There’s this thing called “out-of-gamut” and I can click something in Lightroom to find the colors that are out of gamut: these are colors that won’t print so the printer has to opt for something other than that color. One is to work in LR and figure out how to alter the image so that it will work and get the colors to be what I see. Try as I might, though, I can’t manage to get this particular image to work.

To show you the difference prior to working at all with the color issue just look below!

The top image is what I see on the computer. The bottom is what the printer did with that. Both are pretty, I think, but oh-so-different! (The second isn’t a great shot: it’s just a quick iPhone photo of the card I printed. The colors, though, are true to what I see on the card.)

I’m fairly certain that neither is quite right. I suspect the top is too blue and the bottom too yellow. This image was made, though, back in February and my memory is very faded. (And hey, I’ve made a lovely faded image of these same tulips, in a vertical form, for a dinner invitation. Appropriate, I suppose!)
