- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I shot some flower images in the summer and I'm just now getting around to printing a few of them. Trying to, that is.
The colors are way off - muddy, etc. - and it sure looks to be a color space issue. Here is what I've done to process them, please tell me if I'm missing something:
So, how did I screw up the colors?
Thanks!

The colors are way off - muddy, etc. - and it sure looks to be a color space issue. Here is what I've done to process them, please tell me if I'm missing something:
- Shot in RAW, imported into LR2
- Edited in LR
- Sent to Photoshop CS4. On the way there, a window popped up saying: "The document has an embedded color profile that does not match the current RGB working space. Embedded: ProPhoto RGB. Working: sRGB." My options were to use the embedded profile, convert to the working space, or discard the embedded profile. I chose to convert to the working space, after which it loaded into PS.
- Once inside PS, I went to Image>Mode and changed it from 16 bit to 8 bit.
- Next, I saved as a JPG.
- Then I printed.
So, how did I screw up the colors?
Thanks!
