Printing Mystery:
I received an art print to color correct for the press recently. I took a full morning to adjust, print and re-adjust over and over again, until I had the press proof looking exactly like the oil painting that had been photographed to print from. 8 different color corrections later, I was ready to show my final version to the customer. I moved the painting and the proof to our conference room, where I was to meet with the customer. Once the press proof and the oil painting were compared to each other in the conference room, it was clear that my proof was not anywhere near the color of the original oil painting. My proof matched the painting in one room but then appeared to be too green in another room. Where was my mistake made? Stay tuned for the nail biting conclusion to "A Study in Color Correction"!
