Re: ICC printer profiles?

Yes, that was the essential step. It also required some not obvious (to me, at least) fiddling with the print setup in Windows to defeat the driver interfering with the Picture Window color management. I found the changes described well in this Canon help entry: https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/inde...

Re: ICC printer profiles?

I know this may seem like a dumb question but I do not see anywhere in the Picture Window Print Dialog Box where it is possible to choose "Custom Profile." I am still using Picture Window v7.2, since I have a 32 bit OS. Is it possible that this feature does not exist in this version or am ...

clipped pixels

I have an image which shows "clipped pixels" in clouds when I try to brighten the image even though the clouds are not even close to white. In fact, they are somewhat grey. Other areas of the photo which show clipping when brightening make sense in that they are close to white or have brig...

memory requirements

Any estimate of what would be a reasonable amount of memory for processing reasonably large (say 30Mpx) images in version 8 of Picture Window? I am currently running a 32 bit version of Windows 7 with 4 gigabytes of memory in my computer and am wondering if I switch to 64 bit for version 8 if I will...

Re: soft proofing?

Thanks for the replies. Yes, the more I looked into this, the more I realized that the benefits of "soft proofing" can be illusory at least with respect to high end inkjet color printing in that most monitors do not do much better than Adobe sRGB and the color gamut of high end printers th...

Re: soft proofing?

So, does that mean that you are dubious that what Lightroom is doing is really any more effective in adjusting for printer and paper combinations than just using the ICC files?

soft proofing?

In programs such as Lightroom there is the implication that it is possible to "soft proof" for different inkjet printers and types of paper by adjusting the image on-screen to get a more accurate print The Color Management Help of Picture Window Pro implies that because modern inkjet print...

Re: "halos" around bright objects

Yes, it was chromatic aberration.
Because it appeared almost identically in two different scanners, I assume the problem must be in the camera lens and not in the scanner lens.

Re: "halos" around bright objects

Yes, the halos in the original image were from an original scanned image which apparently was sharpened but they also could be introduced into a higher resolution unsharpened image when resizing, for example, unless I set the sharpening slider to zero. (I suppose the solution to this is to do any sh...

Re: "halos" around bright objects

Yes, I think sharpening is the main issue. The first scan I got of this image was, I believe, "over-sharpened." I then got a higher resolution scan which was supposedly not sharpened at all and the "halo" was no longer visible in the original .tiff file, although I found it could...
