Hi All,
I've been working on a series of pieces for a show that contain glowing, vibrant red as a central visual focus.
I want very much not to do extensive manipulation for this series, since they are especially abstract and I need viewers to know that the result is truly from my camera rather than post processing. However, I can't find a way to get around modifying my images extensively to get the gamut warnings to go away in PS3.
Here's what I've done so far:
1_ Tried various printer paper profiles to see if any would correct gamut.
2_ Changed the printing metric from perceptual to relative, saturation, absolute... I tried them all, but the images that result have extensive clipping (on my Epson 3800).
3_ Tried profiles from a local Lightjet provider thinking perhaps their process would have less gamut correction. It required more, not less.
4_ Did a google search and applied various layers in PS3. In order to clear the warnings, my images were quite simply ruined (in my eyes).
...the closest I've come to an OK print was literally painting the images with various opacities of grey, or dodging/burning. This makes me sad though, because the images just aren't quite as vibrant and, well, they've been fiddled with in photoshop.
I'm not a printing expert by any means (obviously), and have come face to face with some realities that have me a bit down.
Is there software that might address this properly? Perhaps I should consider having my photos professionally retouched (a very costly solution though).
Thanks for any advice,
-Dan
