I want to print out a photo as I see it on screen. When I do, it's always lighter or darker. What should I be reading about?

You will have to "colour" match your devices, monitor, scanner, printer, so they all interpret colors and intensities the same. argyllcms is available for linux and quite good I have installed: wahoo:~ > rpm -qa |grep -i cms lcms-1.18a-16.3.x86_64 liblcms1-32bit-1.18a-16.3.x86_64 liblcms1-1.18a-16.3.x86_64 argyllcms-1.0.3-3.1.x86_64 python-lcms-1.18a-16.3.x86_64 argyllcms-doc-1.0.3-3.1.x86_64 And when you finally finish this, you will find that when the light level in the room containing your monitor changes, the printed output will look different as will the printed output when you view it under florescent or tungsten (or ...) light and so on. Our brain interpretations of what our eyes sense is amazing and quite versatile. gud luk, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
