Hello everyone...
I hope you donbt mind this question from a beginnerb&
I know I need to get a good Epson scanner and printer, and Adobe Photoshop 6
or 7, but until then I really need your helpb&
Herebs whatbs happeningb&
I have a UMAX Astra 2200 scanner and an HP 932C photo printer, Graphic
Converter 4.3.1b2 and Adobe Photoshop 5.0 light edition.
Every picture I have ever downloaded from the internet prints perfectly the
first time every time. Landscapes for greeting cards. Singers for tape
covers. Anything. Perfect every time. Butb&
90% of the pictures that I scan look terrible when I first try to print them.
No matter how much I have adjusted the colors, and blacks, and whites in
Adobe Photoshop to make the picture look perfect on the screen, no matter how
many ways I change the Gamma settings in the Monitors Control Panel or the
Adobe Gamma Control Panel trying to get a picture to print goodb&
The test prints almost always turn out awful. All the dark areas nearly
black. All the light areas glaring white. They also usually print with too
much red, but sometimes, like recently when I added a little red to a black
and white picture to make it kind of warm and sepia, it printed blue.
Sometimes it looks like the picture is printing exactly as it was scanned,
completely ignoring every adjustement I have made to it.
Every time this happens, after wasting half a gallon of ink, and lots of
photo paper, and time, the picture suddenly prints perfectly, and I have
never been able to figure out why?
I think it's quite bizarre because I have never had a picture that wouldn't
print perfect after up to two days of trying. But I almost never get a
picture to print perfect the first several times.
It is quite frustrating. I am very good at photograph restoration, and trying
to start a business.
Does anyone know what to do about this?
