Color Correct Photos for Print

I have a batch of images that will go straight into print, so accurate, consistent color is critical. Your task is limited to color correction only—no background removal or retouching—yet it has to be done with a printer’s eye for detail. I will supply the original high-resolution files along with the intended CMYK profile and a reference sample for tone and mood.

In your proposal, outline the steps you will take to balance exposure, white balance, saturation, and contrast while keeping skin tones and brand colors true to life. Please describe the software and calibrated workflow you rely on—Lightroom, Capture One, Photoshop, or other pro-level tools are fine so long as the final files return to me press-ready (300 dpi, CMYK, embedded profile). A brief timeline and any checkpoints for approval before final export will help me gauge fit.

Deliverables:
• Corrected images in print-ready CMYK TIFF and a lighter JPEG preview
• A short summary of the adjustments applied (optional but appreciated)

I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right approach, so share a concise yet detailed project proposal and let’s get these photos looking perfect on paper.
