Hey neil293,

Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, when you print a photo in iPhoto it has a tint. I would recommend that you read this article, this article explains how to adjust the tint in a photo.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Have a good one,

When printing blacks inkjet printers use several colors to create the black and it can lead to a slight bluish tint. If you print the same picture from Preview do you get the same tinting?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
