- Calibrate your monitor, and use color management profiles to control the image display in Photoshop and for printing.
- Create a crisp line art image, use scanning software or Photoshop to look for telltale signs of problem images, and choose settings for converting a raw image from a digital camera to Photoshop format.
- Eliminate dust and scratches, suppress moiré patterns, and correct red-eye.
- Apply a Color by the Numbers approach using Curves adjustment layers to eliminate color casts, maximize the contrast in important regions of images, and ensure that important colors such as skin tones are correct.
- Make choices based on a specific image and printing conditions in order to get optimal quality rather than settling for mediocre results created with default settings.
- Apply techniques for improving sharpness without oversharpening or accentuating noise and other defects.
