Well, first you calibrate your monitor. Then you locate the
profiles for your printer. Then you
sorry, I'm getting flip.
In photoshop you can start with Cmd-L or on a Gatesmobile Ctrl-L.
There you will find a choice between correcting all three color
channels at once, mostly for brightness, or correcting them one by
one - R, G and B.
Spend a few weeks futzing with that dialog and trying out printing
out the results and come back to us for more info.
Save each version as you go, otherwise you can't go back to something
that was better after you've changed it.
And keep notes of everything you do, in case you change your mind or
want to reconstruct it.
And never overwrite your original scan or digital capture.
And go to the library and take out one or more books on the subject -
I like the QuickStart guides for a newbie, but others on this list
will have many opinions.
