Photoshop :: Getting Near Perfect Match On Sams Photo Prints
Sep 3, 2005
I have a Monaco EZ color Optix color calibration system. The unit has a sensor that is used to calibrate your monitor and comes with a 4x6 color print that (with the help of the users scanner) can be used to calibrate your inkjet printer.
I've used this system for a year and it works quite well. Lately, I've been using Sams club photo center for my prints. The prints are a close match to my screen, but not perfect.
To get perfect prints, I have done the following (kluge) which works, but is very time consuming. I'm looking for the correct way to "Calibrate the Sams club photo printer".
I pretend Sams club photo center is a printer. I had them make a 8x10 photo of the Monaco printer calibration file. I then followed the printer calibration proceedure as if the Sams club photo center were my printer. This results in an ICC profile for the Sams club photo center.
Now in Photoshop, I print my images using this ICC profile to the "Adobe distiller printer" that I have, which makes a .pdf file, with the corrected print in it. I then "extract" a .jpg or .tif file from the .pdf file, and send the resulting file to Sams for printing.
As I said above, this works but is very combersum. Is there a way to do this directly in Photoshop. All I am doing is applying an ICC profile to the RGB of an existing file to create a new file.

Images edited w. Photoshop CS5 (v. 12.03) on a Mac running OS 10.6.8 print perfectly on my Epson Stylus Pro 3880. But the same files printed from a newer Mac running OS 10.7.4 and Photoshop CS5 (v12.1) print too light. Exact same printer settings in PS being used, same printer driver version (reinstalled to make sure not a bad driver), using the same .icc paper profile (also reinstalled), and using same batch of paper printed at same time.
Epson confirms driver is compatible. Everything else on the new system with PS works great. Gallery show in three weeks.

After a support call, I've lowered the brightness on my imac OS 10.6.8 but the prints are darker than ever.
I've calibrated. The printer is an Epson 4900. Photoshop is managing the colors. I did not download the no color management app.

I have profiled my monitor and my printer. I can print from photoshop and prints match my display. When I print out of lightroom, they are not even close. I use the same printer profile and the program manages the color.

After editing in perfect photo I cannot unstack the edited photo in LR4. The thumbnail shows the number of photos in the stack, but right click/expand stack has no effect. The edited photo is not showing.

Encountered problems with using OnOne Perfect Photo Suite within CS4 and 5? The main issue being, if Perfect Portrait is launched and there are 2 or more faces in the image, Perfect Portrait crashes, when launched as a standalone program there is no such problem.I have done all the usual stuff, updated graphics drivers, updated Windows allocated 80% plus RAM to Photoshop, but to no avail.

I had been using Photoshop Elements 10 with Perfect Photo Suite 7.5 as a plug-in. Last week I updated to Perfect Photo Suite 8 and it worked fine as a plug-in with PE 10. Yesterday I updated to Photoshop Elements 12 and Perfect Photo Suite is not showing up as a plug-in. How do I get Perfect Photo Suite to plug-in PE 12?

With a window saying the trial period for this product is expired. I made sure that pps is closed, it's still doing it. I threw pps in the garbage, emptied it, still doing it. I had PS for many years, always doubled clicked CR2 on the desktop, I now drag them.

I'm using phoroshop cs6, windows 7 and an Epson 3880. When I go to print, the print preview looks good, the paper size is correct but only the lower 1/2 -2/3 of the photo prints.

want to cut out a perfect circle in photopaint. it is a picture with a perfectly circular object so I want to overlay the circle tool and cut out the circle and save the circle on a page with the gray and white square background. I cannot get the circle positioned or sized properly because once the cursor is let go you are stuck with what you have. I typed in "circle" in the help and nothing even comes up for circles.
I can make a perfect circle and position it in draw but that is not useful.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. My PC runs Windows 7 Professional (64 bit). For years, I have produced high quality prints with my Epson Stylus Photo R280 printer. Not so recently.
The printer began depositing a colored stripe at the top and bottom of my photos (portrait orientation). And, horizontal streaking began appearing evenly spaced from top to bottom.
I called Epson tech support. The techie put me through many troubleshooting steps. The nozzle check pattern was fine, so she had me print using Photoshop Elements 7 and using Windows Picture Viewer. Both prints had the same issues - horizontal striping from top to bottom and wider stripes at the top of the page and bottom. She concluded that the problem is Elements!
how Elements 7 could be the culprit and what I can do to fix it. I love the printer and Elements but I cannot continue throwing money at paper and ink to test the printer.

I am printing from Elements 8 using an HP6500 printer and the lead edge prints right to the edge of the photo paper (4x6 or 5x7). This did not use to happen. I have looked for a place where the settings are causing this but cannot find it. The top and bottom margins look OK.

I have recently upgraded my system to Vista 64 and PS CS4 from Windows XP and PS CS3. Now when I print my photos have a severe green cast. I have tried turning off CM at the printer, in PS, both and on in each place and both, nothing seems to work. I have DL'd the paper profiles as well, still doesn't work.

With X2 and prior versions I could use the Make Movie Wizard (?) and add photos and music then match the photo duration to the music. Then I could close this and return to VideoStudeo advanced editor and my clips and music would be on the timeline. How do I do this in X3?
I can see where I can use DVD MovieFactory 7se and do this but I can't return this information to the advanced editor. I don't want to create a video file and use that I want to use the actual photos and music so I can do further editing.

I've got two different color balance problems. The first is where I have two photos that I want to match the lighting in each.
The second is where I have a 'control' and I want another photo or print to 'match' it.
Currently I'm having the second problem. A customer brought in an original painting for us to scan and make holiday cards from. But they also brought in a photo print from a local chain and they have asked me to match the color representation from that print.
It is duller, the blues are purple and it is over all darker. Personally, I think the photo is a horrible representation of the painting. BUT IT IS WHAT THE CUSTOMER WANTS.
I've scanned in both the photo and the original drawing. If I print the photo it matches the color of the scan. (but is the wrong crop size and can't be used for the card.) How do I draw color out of that and get my original to 'match' other than just using my eyes? (which is about impossible for me today) I normally use 'sample/target balance' in corel PhotoPaint, but you can't do that between two layers OR between two files. This would be a great change to make in x7 or an update.
Current System: i3 3.07ghz, 3gb ram, Windows 7 32 bit with all updates and X6

I did put a real photo in the background of my website to fit entire page. So the text of my webpage is black, and sometimes other colors. So what happen is that some times the text is hard to read when it come on top of dark places of the photo (for example hear of people). So i want to adapt the photo to make it more unicolor, more whiten (increase whiteness) so the black text will appear even better.
What tools and filters in gimp that give me this ability to do that ?

I currently use Mep 2012 although my question I believe is general in nature. As a sheet metal contractor I do drawings that have many different entities at various elevations. Many times I use change propeties to match the propeties of on entity like a linetype to change another. What I really need to do is have the ability to use a similiar button and match or change the "Z" elevation of a specific entity just like I do for linetype, color etc.

I am trying to make an oblong shape, then a work path and then stroke.
I select the elliptical marquee tool, hold down shift and form the circle, seems easy ..... i go to the paths tab, make work path and the stroke path and you would think it should be a perfect circle. Its not !!
Its as if the circle is hand-drawn in three places, really strange, it just veers in and back out again from the line it should be taking .... it is realy strange.
I closed PS down and double clicked the icon and held down shift, CTRL and ALt and choose to remove the history, and tried this again ... but still the same?

I'm usually a big fan of the Polygonal Lasso Tool when it comes to creating shapes but of course you cant make a perfectly curved line using it.
