One thing I have noticed is that there will be pretty significant differences in the purple I see on the monitor and the purple I get on the print. Most other colors are about as close as one can expect from a monitor/print comparison, but the purples are always cooler and a little deeper on my prints - the monitor shows more red/pink. http://jmhphoto.home.mindspring.com/Gallery1/pages/02_purple_reflectio ns.htm is an example of an image I get better prints from than it shows on screen. I'll probably tweak the web image to reflect the actual print better, since I like the prints much better. It's a small price to pay. --James Hill - Turn off HTML mail features.
