thank you for reply, Les. I'm vertical again after a few days with this year's flu.
First, I must correct myself, the book we did was not with Blurb but another similar outfit.
I understand that calibrating the monitor is crucial to get a true WYSIWIG. I know how to do but do it rarely. That needs to be worked on.
secondly, the only image manipulatin software I have is PREVIEW bundled with MAC OS X. Ill find out if that suffices.
Your reply leads me to one further question: what is "the profile attached to the scan" which you convert to Blurb's format? Never noticed any such thing when i scan.
thanks for your help, I'll keep you informed on progress
Peter

Hi Peter,
The Blurb profile is ProPhotoRGB which can be found on the Blurb website. I have used Blurb for several years and downloaded this profile when I made my second book but unfortunately cannot remember exactly how to get to it on their site. I recall reading about Blurb's own work flow and decided to take that on board and download the profile. It's about time I reviewed their methods as they are likely to have changed and even improved so I'll post my findings here.
