Color Munki Photo Paper Profiling issue in Photoshop CS3

[thomasg29297715]

Hi,

I am having trouble with my paper profile I have created with a Color Munki Photo. The paper profiled is Epson Premium Semigloss. Once the icm profile is created I open Photoshop CS3 and using Adobe RGB (1998) color space with Windows 11, I create a quick and simple digital painting in Photoshop using the standard paint brush (with 0 hardness). As you can see from the attached image; the edges of the brush marks are showing gradient lines. This image is saved from Photoshop directly, not printed. The problem appears both when the image is printed and when the 'proof colours' option is selected in Photoshop. 

When I select the standard paper profile from Epson for the same paper as mentioned above, the issue goes away. Any ideas anyone? it would be much appreciated.

When you built the profile, did you ask for a v4 (version 4) profile? If so, try V2. Not all products play well with V4 spec profiles.

Hi,

Thanks for the comment. I used the following settings under preferences:

Top part is for the display profile and bottom for printer profile.

This looks like an ICC profile quality issue, maybe you can print and measure a larger target - really carefully?

Really your first port of call for this profile issue should be X-Rite 

I hope this helps
