I need a local San Francisco Easy Bay graphic designer who specializes in color correction to prepare three photographs (.AWR and .jpeg source format) of a model in a lotus pond for use on the cover and on an internal page of a printed art catalog created using InDesign. The hard copy proof from the printer (Bookmobile) does not have the desired vividness of green or depth of black for these three images. The printer’s “color presses are modeled on Gracol2013.” I have tried to convert the images to this color profile in Photoshop to the best of my ability, but the hard copy proof still did not meet my expectations. (“Cover proofs are laminated, and are on the stock and from the printer to be used for the final run.”) I understand that CMYK print is a subtractive model vs RGB’s additive model, and that green is a notoriously difficult color to translate to CMYK, but before I surrender, I’d like an expert to either tell me what I’ve done is the best the prints will get, or else provide necessary color corrections to get closer to the original RGB online images.
