George, I'm not sure what you're doing here, but it doesn't look right at all on my screen. I opened up the graphics in your most recent pdf "test2" and they are 150-187 dpi sRGB images. I think your problem is with your (uncalibrated) monitor. I have a calibrated monitor, and to me the pictures have a horrible magenta and yellow cast to them, which I imagine is what you're seeing on the press. I've uploaded a split version of one of your graphics so you can see what I mean: http://www.webdextrous.com/uploads/house.jpg <http://www.webdextrous.com/uploads/house.jpg> The left half isn't perfectly color-corrected, but it should give you a good idea. Remember also that even minor color casts like this will often be exaggerated in CMYK. I would recommend checking out http://www.colorcal.com <http://www.colorcal.com> - they make reasonably priced color calibration tools that I've personally been very pleased with. Your PDF Export settings do appear to be correct, though. Thanks, Ian
