Standard color profile for photos and images is none or sRGB. Photoshop imports images from scanners and cameras, which usually produce images based on that standard sRGB. As far as I can remember, even if you create an 24 Bit image in PS, sRGB is used when saving. Another standard is the Adobe proprietary Adobe RGB, which is a "broader", more colorful variety of the standard RGB (sRGB) color profile, mostly used for printing. You can download the Adobe RGB color profile for free from Adobes website (just do a search for Adobe RGB in a searchengine), save it to disc and implement it in GIMP: menu Edit>Preferences>Color Management. If an image is in Adobe RGB, opening the image in GIMP results in a warning message, asking whether you want to keep Adobe RGB or convert it to sRGB. You may try setting Adobe RGB as default in the menu mentioned, or just open your image in Adobe RGB and print. Regards

Is your monitor calibrated and profiled? Did you also generate a profile for your printer? If not it's not going to be possible to accurately gauge or anticipate what your prints will look like compared to what you see on your monitor. :( On Wed, Sep 21, 2016 at 8:34 PM James Moe <ji...@sohnen-moe.com> wrote: > opensuse 42.1 > linux 4.1.31-30-default x86_64 > gimp 2.8.16 > > Color profile: sRGB > Printer Driver description: EPSON PictureMate PM 225 with driver Epson > PictureMate PM 225, Epson Inkjet Printer Driver (ESC/P-R) for Linux > > I have a Epson PM225 inkjet color printer. > > I have printed images previously with the printer and there was no > noticeable difference in color.

It does not explain the printer's distinct color shift when it was previously mostly correct. Previously: blue printed as blue. Currently: blue prints as green-ish. -- James Moe moe dot james at sohnen-moe dot com 520.743.3936 Think. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
