I had a print of my Stormy Seas at Dawn made on a little Kodak Kiosk (it was only a 5x7) and found an ugly artifact. I thought it was likely that the kiosk automatically boosted the saturation of the colors so went to my local camera store where they printed one as well. It looked much better, but I still saw this artifact which appears to be the cyan channel boosted.
This does not appear on my monitor and did not show on his monitor either. Can you see it? I made an obvious version of it by saturating cyan. The arc of algae is mainly what I'm talking about, although you can see it in the trees somewhat.
How it looks on my monitor:

The only thing I can think of is if the photo is in the correct colour profile.

Well, we'll see. I have a 16x24 coming in the mail from a printshop that has usually been pretty close to what my monitor looks like.
I just found it interesting that it showed up on two different printers but not on two different monitors. |

Yes, to the printshop online; I don't know to the others. I really think the Kodak one boosted saturation, but I don't know what profile the local camera store used. As a props to them (poor camera stores, God love 'em, they seem to be hanging on by a thread), the guy was willing to loan me a professional calibrator to make sure we'd match profiles. The problem is, they charge 29.99 for a 16x20 while my online place charges 8.00. What can you do? |
