Very compelling images. What did it feel like talking with them about their plight, while standing on the other side of the fence?

As I said earlier, we never know when we may be in a similar situation. We should all be sympathetic and understanding of others and not judge.

If you have a tendency to think that "all homeless people" are drunk or abusing other substances, lazy, dirty, jobless, whatever, please take a look at this series of portraits:

I think it's important to read the very short story that goes with these penetrating portraits of people just like anybody, you, me… Just people, fellow mortals.

Years ago I attended a talk given by a nun who was the chaplain to the homeless population of a medium-sized western city. What has stuck with me for more than 40 years is that there is no single "cause" of homelessness; that each case must be considered case-by-case, and for far too many of us, homelessness may be but a single paycheck away. It was true 40 years ago, it's true now, and it will be true tomorrow.

In these difficult times, we should all try to be understanding and reach out to our fellow man or woman if we can.

We never know when we will need help from others.

Harry;
A couple of days ago I replied to your post, stating that rendering intents have nothing to do with the icc profiles.

I just finished a call with Evan at Legion Papers, the folks that make the Moab Slickrock metallic 300. The perceptual rendering intent is recommended bacause of the gray-metalic surface of the media. It's all about the colour shifts that are created when out-of-gamut colours are put back into gamut. Using the relative colour metric, any colour shifts that occur are exaggorated vs. the colour shifts that are created using perceptual.



If you pay attention to out-of-gamut colours in your images and adjust your image to move those colours into gamut before printing then it wouldn't matter what rendering intent you used.

From what I've seen and read about this media your images should be stunning.

I spoke to Evan also and he echoed your recommendations. I'm very pleased with the results I'm now getting.

I've noticed the best results are images with a wide dynamic range for color and with B&W, I have to be very judicious with contrast, in order to maintain shadow detail.

It's a great paper.

I just found the profile for my Canon printer. Perhaps you have a printer that is not listed??


Moab contacted me with the right ICC profile and image recommendation for both B&W and Color. Loaded and tried it with very good results.

Thanks to all for your support and recommendations. They were spot on.

What printer do you use?


I use an Epson R3000. I sent an E-mail to Moab concerning everything discussed. They are closed for the weekend and waiting a response.

OK if there is no profile available then choose the PRO PLATINUM 1/2 setting if you have it.


Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Update-regarding the recommendations to download the ICC profile for slickrock metallic silver 300 paper. No ICC profile on record. As to any videos on YouTube, none available. I'm in the process of contacting Moab.

I anticipate their recommendation will be to select from the closest ICC profile recorded.

I have uses Red River metallic and for any good paper you should load the ICC profile for that paper and let your program control the color not the printer.


I'll certainly consider this recommendation also. I also think contacting the Manufacturer is a good idea.

Thanks very much. The paper is too costly to discard.

Does anyone know how to print slickrock metallic silver 300 paper for optimal results or what type of image reproduces best for this paper?

You may want to consider the Leica D-LUX 6. It doesn't have interchangeable lenses, however it has various telephoto coverage. It's needless to say that optical quality is not a consideration. It's not a camera that you will quickly outgrow.
