If you first crop the image with 6"x4" @ 300dpi, you should set zoom level to approx 30%. this will show the image on the screen with a physical size of approx 6" x 4". Now if you can see pixelization , it will apprear in the print. (Zoom percentage will depend upon your monitor resolution...

If the highlights are blown out on the prints.. My guess is the lab adjusted the density on your images. If you are doing postprosessing yourself , you should always ask the lab not to do any corrections. You may check the backprint if any correction information is there ?.

I assuem that your monitor is profiled ?. Without it any softproofing has little use ... Secondly Printer profiles are very specific to a lab as well as type of paper used. One cant use a generic profile for every Frontier Lab. You should ask the lab to provide you their own Printer Profile...

Frontier model 340 has a "no convert" option besides "sRGB convert" option like older models 350/330/370. This option will give slightly bigger gamut towards yellow & blues so it delivers more saturated blues & yellows. Adobe RGB : adobe rgb is an editing color space. there is no printer...

Print quality depends upon total number of pixels in the image. Frontier prints at 300dpi. that means for 4R (4"x6") it needs 4x300 = 1200 pixels, 6x300 = 1800pixels i.e an image of 1200 x 1800 pixels will give you best possible quality of the print. If you supply less than 1200 x 1800 pixels...

Here is a typical workflow for softproffing 1. open image in embedded profile 2. convert the image to Adobe RGB working color space. (if image has embedded Adobe RGB color space, above two steps are not necessary) 3. Softproof using Frontier's ICC Profile (play with rendenring intent) 4...

Formula takes length or width (in mm) of the final print output and adds 2 mm to it (length or width) and then divide by 25.4 to convert it in to inch (1 inch has 25.4mm) and then multiply by 300dpi (this is the print resolution of frontier) to give you number of pixels for desired length or...
