Hi,

Been using my Canon G1 for a few days and getting very comfortable with it. But when I place my images in my electronic photo albums, the color balance is giving me pains. I use the following:

Kodak DC210+ images with Kodak Picture Easy Software for albums and printing.
Epson 870 with Film Factory
Canon G1 with Zoom Browser
Photoshop 5.5

NOTE: the amount the colors are off are VERY slight. To some, it is fine.

In summary, if I look at my pictures for the Kodak with Kodak / photoshop they look fine (color balance) The Canon with Canon Browser fine.

The Kodak is slightly red, Canon slightly blue, but mix the albums pictures between the two and view them together, UGH.

The Kodak images on the Canon browser is RED. The oposite is true if the Canon is viewed on the Kodak, but it is not as bad.

The Canon software is red biased which may explain why the images are blue when viewed in different softwares.

Here is another problem, the images from the Kodak prints fine on the Epson, but printing the Canon results in a blue biased prints.

Ugh. I need some sort of color sync. I looks like I have to readjust my old and new pictures to get an uniform color now.

Any tips?

Consider buying a Macintosh next time. Colorsync is included with color profiles for scanners, screens printers and programs. Maybe there is some similar software solution for MS Windows.
