Hi all

So I have what I think is a decent pic...........taken in raw to LR to psp x3 and saved as a tiff. I run my little colour picker all over it and everything looks as it should..........
I am as happy as larry! Off I toddle to the local picture developing shop........and discover they only have those kiosk machines......

Never mind I say as I jam the stick into the machine and stand back to read what it says.....hmmm tells me no photos WT^&^??
So I stand there squinting at the screen deciding what to do and the lady rushes over and pushes buttons....ok I let her do it I have no idea what to push...its not my gadget......and the machine finds my pictures. Theres about 900 on there.....all for my work stuff bar one......thanks god its the one at the top and I didnt have to hunt for it ( note to self.....delete the other pics)

Just this one? the lady asks........yep I say ....how long till its ready? 15 mins........ok so I toddle back to work and will come back in 15 mins....no hassle...

So i come back and the pic is nicely sticky taped into a paper bag.......bloke behind the counter looks at me blankly yep that one I say ( hey its got my name on it!)......he hands it over and say $10............for 1 print?? ( ok its 8x10....) I hand my hard earned money over meekly......and hightail it back to work........place my carefully wrapped pic on the table and peel back the sticky tape......prepared to behold a thing of beauty!

WT? WT? WT%$##@?

Its purple..........the rust is purple, the shed is purple even the sky is purple..........its like the purple and magenta had a little party all by them selves.......no wait.... they must have invited green! Brilliant yellow toxic green! Dang those trees are .........different

So after careful consideration and liberal tongue biting...I come home and run my little colour picker over the tiff........yep all as I thought it would be.......no purple, no magenta, no toxic green..................bugger what a waste of ten bucks

Now what?

jeeeeez
