10D Greenish Hue

[Highland]

So I bought a Canon i950 printer - WOW by the way.

But my shots from the 10D all have a slightly lo con greenish hue when printed.

I can fix them in PS with a simple quick fix auto adjust, puts red back in etc. But I would rather fix it at the camera and save the color correction step on all the shots.

Is the parameters area the best place to fix this? Has anyone else noticed a slight greeenish hue and softness with their 10D?

And...

If the parameters area is the place to deal with this issue, I would be curious to know some favorite parameters settings for: color sat, contrast, sharpness, and color tone - (which I am guessing is AKA hue)?
Thanks,
Don

Is the Greenish color ONLY in 10d pictures, or is it all pictures, without regard to the source. That is, is it a 10d problem, or a printer problem?

I had a similar problem with my old Canon s750 printer. All along I had a slightly bluish cast to evey picture I printed. Would have to tweak evey picture I printed (I would turn the blue WAY up on my monitor, and the red and green to below 50%, then just change the White balance till it looked OK on that monitor).

Anyway, I was about to throw away an empty box of Kodak inkjet paper, when I noticed that the box claims "Works With Any Inkjet Printer!", and gave a website to obtain the specific tweaks for the print driver to obtain best results.

Once I "tuned" my printer to the paper, the cast problem was solved.

A greenish hue could be caused by all sorts of things.

(1) Printer must be calibrated.
(2) Paper profile must be correct.
(3) White balance in the camera could be wrong, e.g. if it was set to something else and you had fluorescent light.
(4) Parameters must be set correctly, or at least know what you have set.

That's a great point.

How do I set the monitor to the printer?

[robertwgross]

You don't mention what kind of computer or which operating system you use.

Basically, you have to have all of the parts of the computer calibrated together (maybe scanner, monitor, printer, etc.) using profiles.

If you have one part that has no profile, or if you don't know if you have all of the profiles, then that leads to a calibration problem.

When I got my 10D I had trouble with a blueish hue. I rebooted the camera and everything was fine.
