A work colleague of mine is having an issue -

Family portrait photos are showing ok on the LCD of his Nikon D70 - Indoor shots (restaurant)

Portrait ISO 200 - Shutter 120 - Apeture F4

Standard HP printer at home gives - heavy pink colouration almost like they have heavy make up - same result when taken to an Electronics Store to be printed ...



Anybody got any thoughts ?

I'm not very familiar with Nikon but it could be the camera settings that need adjustment.
I'm a Canon addict myself, and I know that there are lots of different tweaks for the colours on most of them.
I would suggest firstly to take the camera back to factory settings to see if the problem is still the same before doing anything else.

Possibly white balance problems, push them through any editing system (psp, lightroom etc) and do an auto white balance, then try a reprint on one ..

Check the colour space? Make sure it isn't something odd like ProPhoto or AdobeRGB

Tell him to take it OFF the Vibrant setting! Jeff is constantly shooting in that mode in his D300 and it's such a pain to edit people shot in Vibrant mode!


I might add that I'm picking on my hubby but I left mine in vibrant all last week too on accident! ugh lol
