Photoshop Elements :: Prints Too Dark With PSE10
Sep 2, 2012
My photos are printing out much darker than what is on the monitor display. I have calibrated the monitor and changed the color profile, color management & color space numerous times and they I cannot see any difference in the prints. I've changed the printer settings, still too dark. I have edited the photos and brightened them, still much darker than on the display. I'm using Photoshop Elements 10 with a new monitor and computer. My old computer and Adobe Photoshop CS2 program did not have this problem.

I switched from Photoshop Elements 7 to Photoshop Elements 10. I cannot get a print of a photo that matches the screen. Photos are dark and red. I cannot edit the photos because I do not know what will print out.  I have switched back to Photoshop 7 and my photos print fine, just as they have been edited.

I am using CS5 on a Mac printing to an Epson artisan50 but prints turn out too dark. The image on the monitor is correct in all applications including CS5. The prints are correct in other applications but only in CS5 are they too dark.Â

In CS3, I'm having trouble getting my prints to match the appearance on monitor -- my prints are uniformly 1-2 stops too dark, color otherwise is very good. I have calibrated my Dell monitor with Colorvision's Spyder2 colorimeter. Prints are also a hair too dark in CS2, but not as dark.
Photos and Photoshop are in RGB color space. Printer is Epson R2400 with updated drivers I just downloaded and updated into Photoshop. I also downloaded updated ICC color profiles for the Epson Premium Glossy Paper I use.
Printer settings in Photoshop are: Photoshop manages color; Adobe RGB printer profile; perceptual rendering intent; black point compensation "on"; ICM color management; color management set to "Off". I'm using North American Prepress 2 color setting. These are the exact settings Scott Kelby recommends in his "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers" for getting calibrated prints.

Old: CS3 printing to Epson 3800. New: CS4 prints dark on Epson 3800. Regardless of picture sent over. Same settings as with CS3 and every variation I can think of. Epson 3800 hasn't changed. Only Adobe Photoshop version has. I can print the same pics from (example) Windows picture manager, and what I see on the CALIBRATED screen I see on the Epson, so this isn't an Epson issue.

In CS3 I am having trouble getting my prints to match the image on my MacBookPro Monitor.Â
AT first the prints were coming out to green, so I calibrated my disply/monitor on my MacBook Pro. It seem to make a slight improvement and I used the Apple calibrating profile. Tricky to use.Â
I made some prints with my Epson 3800 Printer using PS to manage the printing. Still to green. Then I went over the color settings in my Preferances and followed the guide lines i read in my CS3 for Dummies book. I made some prints which came out 2-3 stops darker, but no green. So then I tried making the prints through the Epson profiles and not photoshop and they came out lighter but way to green.Â
The printer settngs in Photoshop are: Photoshop manages color; Adobe RGB printer profile, perceptual rendering intent, black point compensation on, color management set to off.Â
I'm using North American Prepress 2 color setting. I did not have this problem in the past, but I also did not know how often one shold czalibrate their monitor. Should I try reinstalling Photoshop or do I need to download any update drivers or profiles?

Since updating to new Epson drivers of my 7880 I find that prints are coming out almost 2 stops too dark when selecting the 16 bit mode. Using the same image in 8 bit the prints amtch the screen exactly.

I had a hard drive crash which required a new hard drive, unfortunately unconfigured. I am up and running but my printer, Epson SPR1900, produces very dark images with a heavy brown overcast. I have a Dell Desktop running Windows 7, Dell Monitor, ,NVIDIA GeForce 220 graphics card with a new driver update.
I have calibrated the monitor with my Spyder2 and use the following settings:
Under EDIT >Color Settings>Custom. Working space>ProPhoto. VIEW>Proof Setup>Device to Simulate> SPR1900 Premium Glossy. PRINT (PS-CS6) Color Management ICM>off, No Color Management.. In Color Management, Color Handling>PS Manages Color. Printer Profile>SPR1900 Premium Glossy.
Rendering is Relative Colorimetric. Prints still very dark with a marked brown overtone. Prints were beautiful before the hard drive crash.

I am having trouble getting good prints when printing out of CS5. I have taken all of the calibration and profiling steps and my prints are coming out very dark and muddy.Â
I am printing on an Epson Pro 7800 and I am a Mac user (OS X 10.6.8). I contacted Epson and they suggested printing out of Preview and the images looked far better which, they suggested, points to something in Photoshop that is causing the problem.Â

I've been printing for years with PS 5.5, 7, CS, & now CS3.
I've always allowed Photoshop to manage colors,; No color Management selected in Printer Driver, correct paper choice as provided by media Co., correct profile as provided by media Co., in Print Dialog.
In the past, what I saw on screen was extremely close to the printed results.
I just started printing again, with CS3, and though the prints look fine on the monitor, when viewed in CS3's Print Dialog with "Match Print Colors" / Soft Proof selected, the image not only turns much darker, but there is absolutely no hint of highlight "pop" left----Even the effect of sharpening disappears. The white borders even turn to a dull, bluish gray & the entire image assumes a dark, flat, dull appearance, and that's the way it prints!
This occurs with image files that have printed fine previously, and have not been altered in any way.
I've tried reinstalling the Printer driver,

I have used LR 2 in the past with Windows 98 and an HP Photosmart Pro B9180 shooting with Pentax k10d using DNG files and printing with few or no problems with minimal developing. I am now trying LR 4 with the same printer and camera but with Windows 7 and with little or no changes in developing the prints are very dull and almost black. I have the latest driver updates and am have the printer letting the application manage the color with the correct setting in profile.

Yes, my monitor is an LCD and it is bright. It is not a proofing monitor. It was calibrated. I've been printing B&W from LR on an Epson printer (r1900 & r2400). I know proper color management. Turn off Epson Color Management, let LR manage color with the correct icc profile
Â
Obviously I can do trial and error, brightening the photo until it looks correct.My thought is, is there a way I could print on one page Thumbnails or like in the film days strips with different "exposures." Then with one print I could pick how much of an adjustment is needed?

Multiline text appears dark with a true type font. I have searched the boards and changed the Z coordinate to "0" manually, as well as the flatten command....still no luck. The text was generated from the QLEADER command, but the problem also applies to text created with MTEXT. I have attached the .dwg.

I have created my photography logo using a stamp in Elements 10. I create it and then hit define stamp. I can close out Elements and open it back up and its still there. However, the moment I have to use a different brush, I lose the stamp I created.

I have Photoshop Elements 10 on my Mac and my PC. I have several catalogs on an external harddrive with older photos. I have tried to get my Elements on my Mac to read those catologs. However, it gives me a message that the catologs are in a older format and need to be upgraded or damaged and need to be repaired. I ran the repair utiity on the catologs using Elements on my PC and it found nothing wrong. My PC version can open the files without any issues. Both versions of Elements are the exact same. I installed them both the same day from the same CD set (Elements 10 came with both PC and Mac versions).

NB: I'm using the word 'register' in the printer's sense, i.e 'correctly aligned'.
Â
I frequently edit multi-layered maps, in which each layer must be precisely registered (to the exact pixel) with the canvas. In older versions of PSE, when I've wanted to import layers from another file, I would turn off 'Maximise' mode in the Window menu, and drag the imported layers from one image onto the other. By pressing the SHIFT key at the same time, the new layers would be precisely registered on the new canvas in the same relative position they were on the old canvas (if the images were different sizes, the old canvas would be centred on the new one).Â
Â
In PSE10 there is no 'Maximise'mode, so I use the 2-up option in the Arrange menu. However, pressing the SHIFT key doesn't seem to work any more, and the new layers don't come up in their original position. Apart from manually lining up the layers, I can't find a way to register them. The various 'Align' options aren't useful for this, as they re-calculate the centre of the layer based on its content. I need the layer to be aligned as it was on the old canvas, whatever the content of the layer.Â

I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements Version 10 and I cannot print anything either directly from it, or even anything created out of it to my HP Officejet 5610 series printer. I am not having the same issue that others have reported with the Fax Window coming up, nothing prints at all. It doesn't even go into the Print Queue. I have been discussing (on a forum) with HP and they have suggested using the Deskjet 990C driver. I tried that and still nothing happens. I can print to a Canon Pixma with no issue, it's definitely something with this printer/print driver. I tried renaming the printer to make it shorter, I have tried completely deleting and reinstalling the printer (using HP Cleanup utility), I have updated drivers, tried using the 5610 as well as the 450C and 990C.
Â
This is happening directly out of PSE as well as anything I create and save - so making it a PDF, it won't print. Making it a JPG, it won't print. I can print PDF files not created in PSE with no issue. I can print JPGs not created by PSE with no issue.

Today i went to copy and then paste an image onto another one,i could not use the copy or paste function(in pse 10). Only the paste function was usable and when i hit it it pasted the picture of an eagle onto the image. This eagle i had copied from a particular website(unrelated to photoshop) amd pasted it to a folder in windows live photo gallery. I tried deleting this eagle from the windows gallery,but still i could paste the eagle onto the other picture. And it created another layer with the picture of the eagle. Also as usual my lassoo tool is malfunctioning in pse 10? Maybe uninstalling and re-installing pse 10 would solve the problem.

I have several images in my project bin, then use the Arrange icon to divide the workspace into "2 up."
There are now two images side by side.
Over the left one are several tabs, although not one for every image (they don't all fit).
Over the right one is a single tab, with the name of the open image.
Â
How do I change which image is shown on the right?
Â
I can change the left one by selecting the left image then double-clicking on the image I want in the project bin.If I try the same on the right, the image I double-click on goes into the left side of the window.I can't pick from tabs, because there aren't any (other than the currently open one) over the right window.
Â
I am using PSE10 with Windows 7. I've looked at the on-line documentation and tutorials, and they don't go into details about controlling the division of the windows.
