Negative-looking contact sheets
WimWenner:
Strange. When printing contact sheets as a PDF-file, I have to choose 'No color management', otherwise all the images look like negatives on the PDF. Why is that?
(Reason to make PDF's? It's a simple way to show a lot of pictures to the customer. Printing 200 pictures as a page by page contact sheet into a Low Res PDF-file in Instant Enfocus generates a file of only 10 MB, including the filenames. PS doesn't offer that possibility and that's why I like PM so much!)

I don't know why that would be. Photo Mechanic is just given a printing context by the OS to draw into, the drivers take it from there.

WimWenner:
Here is an example to show you. It's the result of any menu choice in the menu Color choice, and than printing as a PDF-file. When choosing 'No color matching' the image is okay. It happens with tiff's, jpeg's and eps'.
WimWenner:
@Kirk: have you seen the example of the negative-looking contact sheet below? I wonder if you might have an explanation.

I did see the example. I'm not sure there is much I can do about it since the OS doesn't tell me that the eventual output will be a PDF file.
