Is there a way to adjust on prints?
SB,

The lab that makes the prints has some latitude when interpreting color for your prints. I found that trying to communicate exactly what you want is almost imposible without a lot of trial and error. What I started doing is making the adjustments on my computer using photo software, copying that file to a CD, then taking it to the lab for prints. Then you have to specify directly that they not make color corrections, or, they will try and undo your corrections with their arbitrary notions.

I don't know of any way to manipulate the color during the photographic process. You can manipulate the light, or, you can under or over expose the film, that's all I know to do.

I found that I got the best prints (also giclee prints) of my painting by first photographing them with high quality (Fuji, lowest ISO) slide film. From these slides I got the truest reproductions of color. I have a local lab that does this work for me. I deliver the painting to them and they photograph it using their studio light set up.
