I had a similar problem. I printed a 48-bit .tif file on 11-by-17 inch paper. The image itself was set up to occupy half the page. The print came out as a stack of six bands, each one with wildly different colors, except the middle band was accurate and the last band was black and white. As best as ...

What's embarrassing is that I tried to click on the message box that Winfriend posted.

For example, I open Equalize and begin a mask by brightness curve. Every time I add or move a point on the brightness cu...

For what it may be worth, below are the settings I use for a NEC PA series monitor. The monitor stores its calibrations in an internal lookup table rather than in the graphics card of the computer, so if the BenQ does the same, the settings are worth a try. I calibrate the monitor to Adobe RGB color...

"what your aim is - increase contrast, maybe??" No aim; the recipe I gave looks different to me than adding contrast (whether by combining an image with itself through Soft Light or by other means). It is a special effect, different from the overt watercolor effect, each helpful in particu...

The Watercolor transform can add drama without turning the photo into a watercolor painting.
