I have figured out what I was doing wrong. I was converting the color profile of the file to sRGB but was doing so after I had already "baked' the large gamut ProPhoto profile into the file by flattening it after doing the edits (very limited edits, but that does not matter). I started with an unedited scan, used the sRGB profile, made the simple edits and it looks good. So it appears that I have to process the sRGB and ProPhoto files separately. I sometimes make copies of the album art for copies of CDs that I put into the plastic cases so I produce two files, one for that purpose (4.75" x 4.75") and one for the Squeezebox display, the size of which I reduce by 50%. Thanks to all of you for your comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jdt7385's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95637 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
