Photo Lab in Houston - 04-15-2011, 03:25 PM


I recently began trying to print and frame some of my better shots. As a member of Costco I downloaded their printer profile and reprocessed my .pdf files on a calibrated 24" IMac monitor on Photoshop Cs5.

Unfortunately, the prints are not nearly bright enough and the saturation and vibrance are not even close.

I am frustrated. Has anyone else had this problem? Are there any labs that folks in Houston have worked with that I may inquire with?

John

I meant .psd.

I opened another thread in the print room section. Feel free to close this one...
