Hi,
I have printed an image on 6 x 4 on glossy paper (bluebells) and really pleased with the intense sparkly image.
Now I have printed the same photo on A4 heavyweight matt paper and the colours are pale and dull in comparison.
Is this normal reaction between the two in LR?
I have printed previously from Aperture and never noticed any colour difference.
I have used the soft proofing facility and had to desaturate the colours because of the colour gamut. I did this before I printed either photo.
I have selected the only matt version that is available in my printer profile section. ( obviously used the glossy version for the glossy paper)
I have used the brightening facility within the print model and it does lighten the photo but makes the colours lighter not more intense but more washed out. Infant, I have printed a matt copy from my original image (before soft proof) and it yields a better colour than the soft proofed one, even though there is plenty of colour gamut warnings.
Interested in any experience or ideas on this issue.
thanks
john
