Hi All

I have a jpeg image taken at maximum size (ie minimum compression) on a Canon 300D.

I want to get it professionally printed to an A2 size (Nominal 600 x 400 millimetres).

I will be enlarging it using Genuine Fractals.

I need to carry out minor image processing with PS CS, including level and saturation adjustments and minor sharpening.

The photo lab where I want to get it printed has told me to use their *.icm file to convert the image to their profile.

What order of image processing do I need to take.

Do I (a) make the adjustments in PS ie saturation, levels, sharpening, then (b) apply the convertion to their profile, then (c) enlarge using GF or should it be (b) then (a) then (b) or another order?

I presume once I convert to their profile I can adjust clour, levels etc to my hearts content within PS to get the colours etc that I want. I have already tried converting an already processed image and the colours do not appear as I would like them.

Also any suggestion on the paper to have it printed on – I am thinking a matte finish to minimise the glossy and reflection look (it will be framed but with no glass front).

regards
