Photoshop :: 5.5 Printing Colors Incorrectly - MAC OS 10.8
Nov 8, 2012
I recently updated my operating system to MAC OS 10.8 and as a result, Photoshop 5.5 no longer prints colors accurately. I corresponded with the tech department at Adobe for more than a week and we determined that my user settings did not migrate properly when I upgraded, resulting in skewed colors when printing from Photoshop. In running tests, we made a new "root" user and Photoshop printed correctly when using that user. How to fix my user settings/profiles so that my paper and printer profiles operate correctly in MAC OS 10.8 when printing from Photoshop?

I recently bought CS4 and have noticed that everything displays differently in Photoshop than anywhere else. I can not get a pure white. Pure white looks yellow, like french vanilla ice cream.
I have tried everything I can think of to rectify this situation. I have tried changing color profiles, etc. but I obviously don't know what I'm doing, because none of the changes have any effect.
I really need to get this fixed. I have been a Photoshop user for 15 years, and throughout all the versions I've used prior to this one, everything displays properly. I am BUGGED by this, big time. Such expensive software should work right.
I am using a 22" Samsung LCD monitor, if that makes any difference.
I can send screen shots to anyone...

When viewing images or documents on the Cintiq they display the same colors as on my main monitor. But when I draw something in Photoshop the colors are more saturated. This is especially noticeable when I undock the working space and drag it on my main monitor.
Testing with a rainbow gradient I can see that relative to my main monitor the purple gets darker and the blue gets stronger; almost turning into a solid bar rather than a gradient. The green also gets slightly lighter.

I edited my CR2 pictures in Lightroom. After converting to any format the colors were colder than in original image. I opened it in Photoshop, Irfanview and Firefox. In Lightroom the image looked same as original. Both Lightroom and Photoshop are using ProPhoto RGB. I tried converting to different color spaces with no luck.

I'm doing a graphic for a box package in Illustrator. The background color is the #333333, with big words in grey using #666666. When I brought the image to a print shop to test it, the colors turned out kinda greyish green. The print file is in CMYK. Any ideas why this happened? and how do I fix it?

I only do photo quality prints to Epson matte a few times a year so I run test prints with various settings to get what I want. My granddaughters wanted some prints from a web site framed and my wife wanted prints of an emailed photo of their old mountain cabin. I had to do some color manipulation of the cabin, but the web site images had been expertly processed and all I had to do was print properly.
I experimented with the cabin image print settings. Epson changed the names of all their papers, so the Epson print profiles in the print dialog didn't match the name on the matte paper box. I deciphered that, but I wasn't happy with the result so I tried two of the other Epson profiles and hated it. There's quite a long list of profiles available, some specific, and some just conventional color spaces like sRGB, aRGB. For the heck of it I tried Pro Photo RGB as a printer to paper profile. The print of the cabinimage with an embedded aRGB profile was everything I could want. I did the web site sRGB images the samwe way and they were really nice.
The puzzle is this: What does using Pro Photo RGB as an instruction to the printer cocerning what it is printing to thru Photoshop even mean? The printer has never heard of the colors possible in Pro Photo, and the source image is in sRGB ( verified by Photoshop). I can conceive that an RAW image should be rendered as aRGB for inkjet and that the inkjet has some blues that are outside the aRGB, but I can't understand telling an inkjet to use Pro Photo to print sRGB.

After changing picture to black and white or any other color change the picture will print some of the original colors especially greens and tans. This occurs when changing a jpg file or using layers. It did not happen in CS2 using the same Epson printer and the same printer settings.
I am using Vista OS.

I have CS6 and a Savin printer. I have recently run into issues of it turning my projects a funky shade. I took the file to the office store and it printed fine for them. My printer is printing other jobs great but the trouble just appears with PShop.

I have been printing with an epson [artisan 50] for a long time, always great colors on my pc.
just switched to a mac and latest version of ps cs6 and my prints are not color correct [very muted colors on the print] It is definitely not the printer [prints perfect from otherc applications]
I have tried many of the settings / color management options, but none seem to do the job. Right now I have it set on 'photoshop manages color' and then for printer profile my printer type with correct paper.
I don't know what to do- share their knowledge on color management/printing

I have been using Photoshop for years, and as far as color management, everything has always been pretty true to what i see on my monitor. Recently however, pictures look good in Photoshop, but when i upload them to the internet, or print them the colors are muted and have a gray cast to them. I have tried using different color proof settings based on the labs I use to print, but it always ends up the same.
I have used both sRGB and AdobeRGB on my camera, both have the same result. I don't know what changed, if I changed a setting inadvertently.

I bought a new computer and got Photoshop Elements 2.0 with it. Great program. My problem is a friend said that Photoshop 6.0 is better. I asked to try this program . I loaded his program on my machine and started to print. All of a sudden my prints appear to be pinkish color and no normal colors. I looked on the web for an answer. Could this program be illegal and something is changing my colors?

I was making a bussines card, colors in corel looks perfect, exported to pdf file colors stays the same, but when i try to print all colors are off. Deep purple turns pink and black fading objects tuns into lines. Furthermore, when I use 'collect for output' pdf preset 'prepress' colors are off to and when I try to use 'current proof settings' corel just shuts down.
colors in corel
colors in pdf after 'colect for output'
and when I print it, colors are way more off, you can't even see the red, because all purple turns pink.

A single black filled square prints perfectly. When I place a color filled box beside it in the document and print, the black prints greyish.
As a workaround I am publishing to pdf and then printing is fine. Other programs (paint) prints correctly.
I have a fiery controller on a Canon Imagerunner Advance.
All my print jobs were working perfectly sunday night. Monday morning they were not. I re-installed Corel - no effect.

I recently upgraded my computer, and use the same AutoCADLT 2012 software I used on the old system. However, now when I print drawings or make pdfs, they are in color instead of black and white. And the pdfs in color now copy in such a way that some of the layers appear faded, are very light, and are difficult to read. How do I get the prints and pdfs back to black and white, with no color?

I have a problem when I print documents regardless of the printer I use.
If the document is on the network, colors are printing in black.
But if I copy this document locally on my computer, colors are printing normally.
Note : I'm using AutoCAD 2012 LT

I'm relatively new to Illustrator (I'm a fine artist not a graphics professional) and having some difficulty with preparing pdf files for screen printing positives.I passed some of my photos through Vector Magic anf got a 3 color vector pdf.I converted the colors to global spot cmyk.What I need to do is get each color onto a separate layer. I don't have a postscript printer and would like to have everything prepared before I take artwork to a print shop to get screen positives printed.For some reason when I go Select > Same > Fill color (and either cut to a new layer or select inverse and delete on a duplicated layer) I'm not getting everything showing up. It looks like the document needs to be flattened or something, though I have tried that with no effect.

How do I ensure that I'm printing accurate colors? As color is so subjective how do I confirm that I have it correctly?

How can I print in black and white while using true colors? I've tried the monochrome ctb, monochrome stb, looking for solutions in these forums, etc. The std 255 colors are not a problem. It is only when I use a true color. When I tried the monochrome stb setting, the fill color on my multileaders did not change.
Also, in paperspace, with viewports that had solid objects in them, I used to be able to print and have hidden lines removed without them showing up that way in the viewport. (used 2008 at the time and have jumped from that to 2012)
I seem to remember that the was a variable command that controlled this but I can't remember it.

I run an online wedding invitation design business. I first create the digital files of the invitations in Adobe Illustrator CS5, then secondly I email the PDF file to my customers, and finally the customers are responsible for printing the invitations themselves. Some people print from a home computer, some have a local print shop print them (professional OR places like Staples and Office Max), and some upload the design to an online print service.
I use Adobe Illustrator CS5 and cmyk colors to create my file.
2 times this year I have run across a problem that I don't know how to fix. The customer says that when they print the PDF at home AND at a local print shop (Staples or otherwise), the colors are not right. Specifically, my Peach color was printing Brown for her, and my light Pink color was printing Tan for her.
The first file I sent her was a PDF that I created from Illustrator. I also imported the .ai file into my Photoshop Elements 5.0, and then saved it as a JPG and PSD. Those two printed the same results for her. She printed from home and from Staples. Both printed wrong.
I have made 250+ sales in the last 12 months, and this is only the second time it has happened.

I'm using save for web from Photoshop to save a png 24 (so, with transparency). When using png files with transparent backgrounds the colors end up showing a bounding boxes of each element. So if I have a solid black zero, and a red TM om the same image it looks fine everywhere except 3dsMax. In Max it shows as a big black box, and a little red box. The alpha channel reads just fine though.
I am quite annoyed that I have to go back and save all my maps as jpgs with one of them being an alpha map if I want to see them properly in the viewport. I can use the images because it only messes up the outside of the color, but it's difficult to map the placement of certain images. Surely a few people here use Photoshop to create png files for import into Max right?

Just installed acr7.3 and cs6. I have previously saved jpgs but wanted to play with POSSIBLE settings in the new ACR. Ok so I make some changes and only say DONE.. I do not open and resave. Going back to Bridge.. the preview now shows me the 'new' acr tweaked version and that jpg will NOT open in CS6 again without going through bridge to apply the tweaks I made.
Problem is, the jpg itself is still saved the OLD way and I want that version back. How do I get the bridge to show the saved jpg that I have, once I play with it in acr??

Here is a logo, pasted as a smart object from Illustrator into Photoshop CS5.1 :
Here is the same logo pasted as a smart object from Illustrator to Photoshop CS6:
Note the gaps in the orange gradient at the top of the graphic, and the transparent areas in the border of the shield. This discrepancy appears (to me) to be a result of using a "sharper" antialiasing mode in CS6 which is leaving 1 pixel wide gaps between objects that are actually completely aligned to the same points in Illustrator. Scaling the object will result in the gaps showing up in different areas of the graphic. This is incorrect behavior on the part of Photoshop CS6.

A client provided me with 100 dpi Photoshop files containing text. When I changed the file to 300 dpi, the type was slightly fuzzy. On closer examintation, I discovered that the type that was 11 pt was now reporting 3.7 pt after uprezing - but it was the correct new physical size.
I opened the same file in PS 5.5 and the font size was reported correctly and was not fuzzy.
Bug? Operator Error? This is all from Adobe Cloud.

Photoshop has started acting very strange. It's incorrectly detecting less than 512MB VRAM (AMD 5770HD, 1024MB VRAM). I thought it may be a graphics driver issue but neither the latest stable nor beta seem to effect this.
Since 3D features have been disabled, the application is unstable. Changing tools a few times will always result in an appcrash exception.
System specs:
Windows 7 x64 ultimate
Core i5-3470
16GB RAM
AMD HD5770
I have a feeling I know what's causing 3D mode to disable and that's the integrated card on this motherboard. This currently acts as an additional monitor output and is set as the primary device in the bios (and I can't change this) but shares some state via some LucidLogix thing on the motherboard. Is there any way to disable this VRAM check?

A rather bizarre issue this. I have reinstalled Elements 10 on a system with Win 8 64 bit. If I attempt to crop a portrait format photo e.g. 2009px x 3034px to 1920 x 2400, the crop frame for the width falls outside the photo. Cropping a landscape photo works correctly but the problem persists even if the portrait photo is rotated to 'landscape'.If I crop the same portrait photo on an XP system, there is no problem.

I recently installed CS5 on my laptop after first removing it from my previous machine.All licences were validated so no problems there.Now when using paint bucket in Photoshop, the colors that I select in the color picker are not the colors that result when I use the paint bucket.
If I create a new black canvas then the colors selected in color picker work with paint bucket.But if I attempt to recolor the background in an existing image that I import into Photoshop, I get the mismatch with colors when I use paint bucket. My method for selecting colors is the same in each case, I select 'set foreground color' and set the color using html values entry at the bottom of the panel.

Just wanted to print a new photo and realized that the colors in print preview do not match the colors in soft proofing. In both cases I selected the same icc profile and rendering method. The print colors matched the colors in print preview. I never had a problem so far. All new prints will be checked with soft proofing and adjusted when necessary. I never paid attention to the color rendition in print preview and all prints perfectly matched the colors from the soft proofing. I was surprised when my print came out of the printer and the colors weren't matching the soft proofing colors, but that of the print preview.
I don't understand why Photoshop renders the colors differently in the first place. See attached screenshot for the difference in the blue/cyan colors. I don't care if the print view colors will match the print, but I do care when soft proofing is not working.
