It was my understanding that Photoshop has some sort of print translation
thin in it. The idea is you take an image, scan it, then print a copy of
it, scan it again and Photoshop uses the difference to adjust the colors
so that what is printed matches what is seen on the display. I really
wish that Paintshop Pro had that feature, since it is definitely less
expensive to buy. :p In any case, I believe that is how the adjustments
are made for printing the images correctly. Now where you find these
settings, etc. I haven't a clue, since as I said, I can't really afford
Photoshop. ;)
Now if the problem is that it is messing up the image when translating to
CMYK, then I really am lost, but it could be that Photoshop is making the
needed adjustments to the image to print it correctly as it converts to
CMYK and the odd changes you are seeing is just what the printer actually
needs to produce the correct image.
