I'm using the subscription version of Lightroom with Ventura 12.2.1 on an M1 Mac Mini and Studio Display.
I edited all my B/W photos, designed my book in the "Book" module, and submitted an abbreviated version of the book for proofing to Blurb. I got the book yesterday and there's a hideous and obvious green haze/tint in various degrees on all the photos! Putting aside the green, the exposure and contrast of the B/W photos looks good.
So I contacted Blurb. They responded quickly with a bunch of printing lingo, jargon and numbers. But the bottom line is they said the photos I submitted were not B/W neutral. Then they proceeded to tell me how to fix MY problem in Photoshop. I don't edit in Photoshop; I use Lightroom exclusively. Blurb did, however, offer to reprint the book as I originally submitted it or after I made adjustments. I told them all the photos were edited in B/W by clicking on "Black and White" in the Develop module. I asked them if there's another way I can convert them to B/W that will make them B/W neutral. I haven't heard back.
While I wait for a response, I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and what they did to remedy it. Any if anyone knows how to convert color RAW images (Fujifilm) to B/W neutral images in such a way as to both satisfy Blurb and eliminate the green.
Ironic the green problem occurred a day before St. Patty's Day!
Any insight or help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
