Hi,

With Photoshop CS, I’ve built a CMYK image, 8bit (2480 width and 1748 height) Resolution set at 300pixels/inch.

When I save the file as a .jpg for print at maximum quality, baseline optimised, I get a ca. 3.2MB image file, which is fine.

On my PC’s (a very new Dell a fairly new Dual Xeon, both PC’s with high quality graphics cards and monitors): everything looks normal when I view the image in any image viewer (windows picture and fax viewer, …) Same thing when I print it, it looks as well as it should.

So, the .jpg has the same colours and look as the .psd file.

However, I sent this image to a friend of mine, and he complains of a blue-ish sheen over the .jpg image. As if a blue layer had been placed over it, and set to 30% opacity.

When he opens the .jpg file in Photoshop, the .jpg appears perfectly normal. When he prints the image, it maintains its blueish sheen.

Has anyone had any experience with this or know how to avoid this?

The image is due to be sent to a printershop (hence the need for CMYK) and is to be reproduced 1000 times. I’d like to be certain that all is well.

Thanks for any assistance,

Ben
