2 q's about lightroom 3

1) Is there any way of using canon's easy photo print "pro" or "ex" through lightroom 3? (canon pro9000 mk2, and lightroom 30 day trial, will purchase full lightroom soon)

2) I have a calibrated monitor, but I'm not sure if there is a special way to set lightroom's colour calibration to my monitor's colour. Unless, it does it automatically. Can anyone clarify this for me?

thanks in advance for your help.

I don't know if Canon has put out a plug-in for LR with the print software -- I believe there is one for Photoshop, but I haven't heard of one for LR.

As far as your calibration profile, yes, Lightroom is designed to automatically use it.

1) i know there is one for photoshop, but i don't have photoshop right now. and i don't plan to in the future.

2)thanks, that's a huge relief.

Have you tried the LR print module? To me it's easier/more efficient to work that way instead of exporting to print. But you could take that route, use your printer app as an "On Export" function or as an external editor to use with Edit With. Either way, you would be stuck with a copy of you image to deal with, but at least it can work smoothly.

thanks again tony. you've single handedly solved my problems.

Isn't it nice to find a friendly place to visit like POTN?
