I've been using CS3 and Lightroom for months now, with a Canon MP600. Print quality has been quite decent, with accurate colors from both apps.
Just in the last few days, photos printed from CS3 have taken on an under-saturated look with a bit of a greenish cast. I first noticed it when I went back to print a few more copies of our xmas card pic. I printed 70 copies of this photo in mid-December and they looked great. The other day, I opened the SAME file, with no modification, and printed a few... and they have this undersaturated greenish cast. I then printed the same file from Lightroom, and it looks just fine.
I haven't changed any pertinent settings. Working profile in CS3 = ProPhoto RGB, to match pics imported from LR. I convert to Adobe RGB before printing, and use the Adobe RGB profile on my printer; it's always worked great. I have plenty of ink. I'm using the same paper. Color spaces, rendering intents etc. have not changed.
Oh yeah: I can actually see the change take place on my monitor in CS3. In the printer dialogue I select "preview before printing"... then, when the preview pops up showing a borderless print, it has a really under-saturated look. This never used to happen, and that's indeed what the print ends up looking like.
WHAT HAPPENED??????? :evil:
Thanks for any input...
