Hello,

i’m new to digital photography print optimization…and need some advice.

I have a Canon S5 IS (soon upgrading to the EOS Xsi). The S5 IS generates JPG’s in the sRGB color space.

Now I have Easy-PhotoPrint and Adobe Elements 6.0. Which should i use to print my digital picts for the BEST possible quality? And how do I configure all of the mirriad of printer settings?

Oh yeah, my printer is a Canon Pro9000.

I did my own quick tests tonight and am a bit miffed:

#1 – Elements 220 ppi sRGB Print space
#2 – Elements 300 ppi sRGB
#3 – Elements 300 ppi Adobe RGB
#4 – Easy Photo-Print – No further adjustments
#5 – Easy Photo-Print – Vivid Adjustment

Image quality looks like a pretty close call between #4 and #5. It’s a picture of a person, and the flesh tones in tests 1-3 look too yellowish green. Paper was 4×6 Canon Photo Paper Glossy.

Why is the quality LOWER from PSE than the freebie Easy PhotoPrint?

Thanks for any/all advice!
