Novice needing help printing sepia color photo

[ejb]

Hi -

I need some help printing a photo that was taken in color then, using
Picture It publishing 2001 I changed the color to a sepia tone. When I print
to my Epson C60 it is lime green!

I've found lots of very technical info on color management and am guessing
I need to do something to adjust this, but cannot figure it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

1. This newsgroup is for Publisher, not Home Publishing. They have their own
newsgroup.

2. I suggest you replace the color cartridge in your printer.

==================================
Sounds like you may need to update your
printer driver or possibly clean or replace
your printer cartridges.

(313250) PIP/Works: How to Troubleshoot
Printing Issues
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313250
(applies to versions 7.0, 9 and 10 as well)

If the printer is not the problem...one simple
way to try and match your printed output to
your monitor is as follows.

First....print a picture that has good contrast
on your printer. Now compare the printed
image to the original image on your screen.
Adjust your monitor brightness/contrast to
match the printed output as closely as possible.
Also changing the Color Temperature can
make a difference.

In PIPP2001...you can go to...Paint and Color
Effects / Change Color...and adjust the color
balance. Red will kill green so possibly adding
some red to the image will come closer to the
final image you are seeking.

In the future, please direct your Picture It! questions
to the pictureit newsgroup:

BTW, be sure to include your MS Picture
It! or Digital Image Pro version and your

thanks both for the help, sorry to be in wrong group. Looks like the problem
is my print cartridge.

I must be weird (no comments, please). If I'd had that problem. I would have
checked my ink cartridge first.
