Hello Pete; If the images are "blotchy" then I would look at the printing quality, and if it’s poor – report it to Blurb. They WILL make good on printing errors… However, I suspect that they are just dark; which is a known BookSmart / Blurb problem with images which have a great deal of dark shades in them… It’s to do with the fact that BookSmart converts the sRGB images into CMYK for commercial printing, and the CMYK colour spectrum is not as great as sRGB… If you want a more accurate rendition you need to follow a "soft-proofing" work-flow and download the ICC profile Blurb uses for it’s big printers… Run an "All Forums" search for "ICC Profile" and/or "Softproofing" and you’ll get a ton of information… That aside, I personally feel that Blurb need to refine the algorithms they use to run the sRGB to CMYK conversion… I feel that the vast majority of users on here won’t have a clue about colour-management and that MUST be losing Blurb business, because users will just go away disappointed with their results… Anyhow, I hope to have answered tyour question; Cheers; Lee
