    If you're able to get some/any, can you save them in lossless format? eg: PNG?

    Just to let you know Neil, PNG is a web format and aren't meant to be printed. So they don't support CMYK color print profiles.

    From wikipedia:
    PNG supports palette-based images (with palettes of 24-bit RGB or 32-bit RGBA colors), grayscale images (with or without alpha channel), and full-color non-palette-based RGB[A] images (with or without alpha channel). PNG was designed for transferring images on the Internet, not for professional-quality print graphics, and therefore does not support non-RGB color spaces such as CMYK.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics

    A better format is TIFF. It can use lossless compression or no compression at all(preferable) and supports RGB and CMYK.

    Don't want to say who in case they start getting lots of unwanted requests, so a "kindly soul" sent me a bit.

    Here we go:

    Hmmm. Imageshack converted the TIFF to PNG for me. Could you convert it prior to printing, perhaps? Or would that degrade the quality somehow?

    I'm not sure if it'd matter so much. The blu ray is DNR'd to death and there's not much fine detail left to salvage.

    Thanks Griff!




    ^ babomb? Thoughts?

    If PNG is a problem, maybe Griff could email you/me the TIFF version?

    It would be better quality if he could email one of us the TIFF. That's the ideal situation. But if that's not possible, I can convert the PNG to TIFF. I'll send my private email in a PM to you Neil.

    What application are you gonna use to print it out? I just want to know so I can find out if there's any conventions I need to consider. There's several CMYK profiles, some better than others, and not all applications support all of them. There's a standard one that's universal, but if the application supports the higher end profiles that's the best way to go. Also, will you be printing this one a PC or Mac? The TIFF byte order is different between them and I'll have to know which one to choose.

    The one I got in the email was a jpeg. I can work with it but the original TIFF would be best. The dimensions are 1934x1088, which is great.

    - - - Updated - - -

    OK. Sorry for the delay. I got the image color and tone corrected. I brightened the levels, added vibrance and contrast.
    I have a copy of it as a proof for you to tell me if you want it brightened more/less and to tell me how you want the crop. This is just a JPEG and hasn't been sharpened because that's the very last step before converting to TIFF and CMYK. Tell me what more you want done...

    ^ Looking good!

    I've asked Griff to email me a TIFF (uncompressed) version of the image...

    Your example changes above look great. My only issue would be the lights at the top of the lift look 'too much'? That said, I'd be cropping the image down in size (a bit like the image in the OP) so I suspect that region would get chopped anyway! But the rest of the image looks great! I'd suggest waiting until I get that TIFF?

    Many thanks!

    Yeah I'll definitely wait for the TIFF. Wasn't sure on that. I can tone down the lights at the top. That's just a result of brightening the rest of the image.

    here's the image before sharpening and converting to CMYK:


    Let me know if this is good. I'll wait to hear from you before I do the final steps. When I corrected it, I tried to compensate for the lights at the top. That's why it looks a lil different than the versions above. But I can change that easily if you like the other ones more.

    That's looking great! Maybe just a bit more contrast, if that makes sense?

    The TIFF is 1600x900 pixels, so I assume your final image would be too? I obviously want to retain every pixel (resolution) I can to help the final print quality!

    Thanks again!

    The tiff I have is 1920x1080.

    Updated version with more contrast and slight color correction.
