Adjust colors
I found a nice picture
http://mandelwerk.deviantart.com/gallery...8#/d2qg944 but I'd like to adjust the colors. To put it in words, I'd like to remove the greenish and the paleness. Now there are so many options and dimensions in Gimp, that I can't seem to find a systematic way to achieve a pleasing result. Could you please suggest which adjustments I should try to make it less greenish, but rather yellow/red/brown and less pale? |

I mean what if I'm just want to reduce one color (green; only accidently happening to be an RGB color) and leave the others more or less as they are? I cannot simply replace this color since that would break the image as colours closeby wouldn't match. |

RE: Adjust colors
Thanks for the good explanation!
Now I figured out that partly my discontent is due to the printed out version of this image, which comes out too dark in the darker areas. Is there anything I can do about it? I cannot adjust the printer so all I can do is to prepare the image in advance. |

Complex stuff, but worth it if you intend to print often.So it's no "hardware problem" with the printer? If I turn up the darks this way it might look better or is the ink technique generally unable to reproduce some picture? |
