When I did a review of ColorVision's PrintFIX I noticed that there were two versions of the PDI test image going around, one with the really saturated colours that just won't print and one without them. Given the limits of the PrintFIX and its intended market I'm not surprised the one without the bold colours was missing, since not that many people really understand rendering intent ;-)) :-)) If anyone is interested I have a downloadable copy of the test image on the review page <http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/printfix1.html> - unlike some you will find, it is free to redistribute if you include the relevant usage/copyright docs. bye for now Keith Cooper Northlight Images http://northlight-images.co.uk Photography - Digital Imaging - Apple Mac Consultancy Tel +44 (0)116 291 9092 Mobile +44 (0)780 162 9397 =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
