Photoshop Elements :: Colour Difference Between 10 And Printer?
Mar 22, 2012
I am using PSE10 and am finding that the colour showing on my edited photos is different to what displays on the Print Preview screen. This displays and prints much darker. I am using a Canon Pixma IP4950 printer recently purchased. I have tried various adjustments to settings but with no success. I find that I have to lighten each photo x 2 to get a decent colour print.
I cannot change printer profiles in Colour Management on PSE10. Whenever I try to do this it looks like I have changed it, and click OK...but when I check back it has actually not taken effect and has defaulted back to the original stored profile. Consequently I cannot use different paper types now. This has only just started happening and was ok before. I am using Mac OS 10.7.5 along with an Epson R3000.
I have a Lexmart Pro 705 printer. The problem also occurred with a canon printer. This also happens with both my Laptop ,and desktop computers.
I will edit a picture so that it looks great on my computer screen , then when I print it on good Kodak paper ,it will be several shades darker. The old photoshop programs had a preference so that you adjusted to the printer. I know there has to be a trick to this.
I get a slight difference in color in my prints my when I use LR prifile vs Canon printer managed. The Canon is much truer to what I see on both monitors which, btw, are calibrated. LR throws in a slight magenta cast. Is there a way to correct this?
Why is the colour different from LR4 to CS6? Using Spyder to calibrate screen and I know CS6 picks up the Spyder calibration but not sure is LR4 picks up the same calibration. Both are set for srgb colour space.
how to print A3 size borderless portriat using Epson R1500W. I've got this printer 2 days ago and still can not figure aout how to do it. I've got few mm blank in either side of lenght wise.
Whenever I create a new colour in the colour swatches it only stays there for a couple of actions while working on a project. I understand from others that once they create a colour it stays there. Why can't I get that to happen?
I imported 4000 photos from iPhoto into pse 11. Now my orgainizer has hundreds of numbered folders with only 10 pics each in them. How do I revert to the named folders I was previously using in iPhoto?
I also don't understand the difference between a folder and an album.
I want to put some of older stuff "away" so I it is not in the way...
I am using Elements 11 and was just saving a photo that I had just completed some edits on when the power went out in our area for just a split second. When it came back on and I went into elements orginizer, my photo was there however, it showed an hour glass where the thumbnail picture should be. If I click on the hour glass, my picture appears in full size. I can even open it up in editor and the photo is there. It is just in the orginizer where the thumbnail should be that the hour glass appears. After trying everything I know to correct this issue, I uninstalled elements from my computer and then reinstalled it hoping that this would cure the problem. how I might get the thumbnails to reappear. Also, since reinstalling the software, I have upload new photos and they too have this same problem.
When I move a photo from the ORGANIZER to EDITING (in Elements 10) the image looks different (color, contrast etc.) This has stopped me from ubgrading at this stage.
Just out of curiosity, why is the "my catalog file" which PSE references on the local drive so much smaller a full backup of the catalog to an external drive?
A B&W logo ought to be possible to change the colour of the black elements? I can find the appropriate menu option, "Change Colour" but it randomely wioll not highlight. When it does, the process does not seem obvious. I do the obvious things, but nothing is happening.
I can build a 10x16 page in PhotoShop Elements 10, but my printer can't handle that size. How can I format it so an outside printer can print the page?
I am using Windows 7 and recently installed Photoshop Elements 10. If the Dell 3000cn is set as my default printer, as soon as I click on print, I receive the mssage I need to install a printer.
I have verified that I have the latest Dell driver. If another printer is the default, I can print one image to the Dell printer. If I try to print a second image or change certain prnter settings, such as setting a custom size, PS Elements just show the waitng icon and never moves on so it has stoped working and I receive the following dialog box from Windows.
I have a number of multi-page docs created in PSE. No matter what printer I select, and despite them being in a standard portrait size/orientation, the print options ALWAYS default to landscape. I've checked the actual printer under "printers and devices", and the actual settings there are portrait.
This is worse because I must actually use the print options dialog box to move manually through EACH PAGE of the document to be printed, and set the printer options to "portrait" on every page. If I fail to do even one page, the entire document is printed landscape, cutting of page contents.
The preview shows each page is indeed landscape until I do this procedure, at which time it flips the page to portrait, one at a time.
Doesn't matter what printer is used.
Also, once printed, if I immediate open the print dialog again, same printer and everything, once again it has landscape.
There seems to be no memory whatsoever for orientation (other settings, like resolution, are maintained during the run on PSE, but are always lost when PSE is closed). Again, in particular, orientation for every page, individually, on each print attempt, is always set to landscape, no matter that the document is not in that orientation.
Is there even a way to specify document orientation? Is there something PSE does to attempt to determine orientation that might be wrong? Can I make PSE remember printer settings, or at least use the system defaults for the printer?
I have stiched together six photos to make a panorama photo. When I go to print that combination photo only one of the six photo shows up in the Print window. Only one photo is printed, not the panorama one. I tried using the Finder > Print box and the copy of the panorama photo I had in a folder on the my desktop. That worked. I want to use photo paper for the print and make some adjustments, that doesn't work from the Finder > Print selection. The original panorama photo was a TIFF file and ended up to be 155MB, but I made a copy in JPEG and that file was 13.2MB.
I use an outside service to make prints. How can I save an image in PSE 11 in either TIFF or JPEG format with the color profile for the outside lab's printer?
I have PSE 10. My OS is Windows 7. My printer is a Canon MG6120. The default print tray selected for the computer and all programs is the Cassette. It was selected under Devices and Printers (path: Control PanelHardware and SoundDevices and Printers). All my programs accept the cassette as the default paper source or Tray, except for PSE 10.
In all other programs, I manually change the Paper Source for rear tray selection through the Printer Properties dialogue window. However, the paper source for my PSE 10, after manually changing from Tray: Rear Tray to Tray: Cassette, resets back to Tray: Rear Tray after printing and even after using the Change Settings and Advanced Settings dialogue windows. see the image insert.
I generally print on bond paper. The rear tray is normally closed. If I'm want to print on photo paper, I open the rear tray and insert the photo paper. I verify that I have the printer set to use the rear tray. After printing on photo paper (from any program) I reset the paper source back to cassette.
My questions are, "How do I correct or override PSE 10's automatic resetting of the paper source to the Rear Tray. How do I convince PSE 10 to accept the front-loading cassette as the default paper source?"
PSE10 also insists on reverting to Landscpe orientation. Please see the image insert.
My questions are, "How do I correct or override PSE 10's automatic resetting of the paper Orientation to Landscape. How do I convince PSE 10 to accept Portrait as the default orientation?"
After uninstalling and reinstalling my printer driver I am no longer able to print a document I used to be able to print on the same printer.
Now I get "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing."
I have confirmed the my settings are correct and I am able to print to the printer using other applications.
