Photoshop :: Monitor And Printer Calibration?
Mar 23, 2006
I have had three computers using Photoshop (both PC and Mac) using both Epson and HP printers. The color calibration was not perfect on any of those setups but close enough were only minor tweaks were needed between the monitor and printer output.
My new Mac G5 and Epson R1800 however is WAY off. The colors on my images are coming out extremely saturated. I am in RGB mode. Does anyone have any ideas why this should be so far off and, if so, what I can do to correct it without going to a complete calibration procedure.

There is an vast amount of information on this topic, that topic being LCD monitor calibration. Some LCD have presets, theater, games, etc. I want to calibrate my LCD so that if someone else is viewing my work on their monitor and they complain it is too light or to dark, I can say it is your monitor.
One of my LCD has two presets that are of interest 'standard' & 'sRGB' my other LCD doesn't have any presets. What is the best or near best calibration I can manually set both monitors too, if this is even possible on LCD.

I was wondering what people were using for a calibration tool for monitors. This is not my profession so I am not looking to spend $500+ on a calibration tool but it seems like there is some fairly good units out there for under $300.

My monitor is calibrated with Spyder2. Every time when I start Photoshop and open file (new or existing) my calibration info is gone. I have to apply color calibration for my monitor again. Why Photoshop resets my monitors color calibration info and how can I avoid this?

I have recently bought a new Sony LCD screen and would like to know the procedure to calibrate it so that what I visually see on the screen matches - as faithfully as possible - what I get out of my printer.... Is it possible or am I asking too much? I tried to calibrate the monitor by the gamma utility that comes with PS 7 but the sliders that I have to move to calibrate the screen are stationary and wouldn't move.

what software do you use to calibrate your monitor, for it to accurately show the colors intended for printouts?
i'm currently using Samsung 2032MW for my PS work, have not really tried calibration software before.

When I open JPEGS or RAW images in photoshop they have a dull, flat color to them. This is happening after recently buying a NEW PA271W wide-gamut display and calibrating it using Spectraview 2. It doesn't matter whether I have the Working Space in PS set to Adobe RGB or sRGB under color settings... The only way I can make my image look normal is to go under settings and ASSIGN PROFILE to Adobe RGB. It looks fine then. I could live with that, except the bigger problem is that I begin my editing process in RAW, where the colors are also looking flat. The best I can tell, there is no way to assign a profile at this stage...
I've been working in photoshop many years and I do know that RAW images have a 'flatter' appearance to being with, but this is something completely different. For example, when I slide photoshop onto my other monitor next to it (I have multiple monitors) - the color reverts to the normal color I want . And if I then slide photoshop back onto my new NEC monitor, the normal color actually stays intact for about two seconds, then reverts back to the dull color. So I am unable to begin my work process in RAW since the colors are wrong. Also, I know that my new monitor is capbable of displaying my images in their proper colors because when I use any of several different image viewers I have - irfanview, etc. - everything is fine. It's only in photoshop.

I just purchased a new monitor, and when I opened up elements 12 it asked me if i wanted to correct my colour profile. I said yes, and now all whites on that monitor are displayed as a sepia like yellow colour. When I move photoshop to my other monitor, the image displays fine. Its not an issue with the monitor, as b&w images in other applications display well.

As you can see by the spelling of "Colour", I'm outside the USA!
A bit of background: I graduated in photography a couple of years back and I've used PS6 and now PS7 quite extensively. I use an Epson 3200 scanner to scan my medium format (6x7) and large format (5x4) negs and trannies (that's FILM trannies...not the other kind!). If they are for exhibition, I'd burn them to CDROM and get a digital lab to print them for me otherwise they'd get printed on my Epson 760 (yes, it's quite old now!).
I've always had issues getting the screen calibrated. How would you guys go about correcting the relationship between the scanner/screen/printer? The screen is a Viewsonic E70 and I use the E70 profile.

I can't get my monitor calibration to suit everybody. Some people have told me that my pictures are too bright. Others say that they are too dim
So I am looking for a monitor calibrator which will automatically set brightness and contrast. Contrary to popular opinion, I am not concerned with color accuracy. My experience has been that the ICC IEC 61966-2.1 profile will give pleasing color results even if not always accurate. As best as I recall, my Huey (now lost) asked me to set brightness and contrast.

I find that working with a picture I get different colors etc. from my printer (Cannon MP 800) than what I wanted from what I am working with on my monitor. I know monitors and printers see and show different colors etc.

Here is the needed information:
Equipment: Windows XP system; Dell E773c monitor; Photoshop CS2; Canon i950; Nikon D70
Steps taken so far:
1) Set Nikon D70 to Adobe RGB color space
2) Calibrated monitor using Spyder2 Pro
3) Downloaded printer profiles that match paper being used
4) Followed instructions for Print w/ Preview: Adobe RGB applied; Photoshop determine colors; select printer profile; rendering intent- perceptual
So I think I did everything right. The printed picture is off in several tones and comes off darker feeling all together.
What can I do differently to make the output match the monitor?

Why can't I get my Epson Printer to print the colors on the monitor> First time this is happening. Printer is new...ink okay...and history with the printer has been okay. Took some photo's yesterday...blue heron, picking up a fish in a pond. Water is blue...heron is grey and white and has other yellowish and maroon coloring as well. The fish he caught was a gold fish. The colors on the monitor are wonderful.
The photo's were cropped severely. But are still clear. Now the water is pink...and the heron is a disgusting color of grey green. Have chosen ICM...chosen Adobe color profile. Used premium glossy white papers, Epson inks.
Tried printing it out without ICM and with different papers....still the same...Either everything is hot pink, or dull gray brown. This was my first ever heron photo that had any merit, and I so want to print it out for everyone to see. I was so lucky to catch the fishing capture. Does the cropping have anything to do with the printing of the photo?

6 months ago I purchased a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium. I reinstalled Paint Shop Pro X4 but have not used it much since then. Recently I wanted to print some photos and I was very disappointed that the results were VERY red. I have a Canon MP600 printer that I have used for several years with very good results. With my old computer (on Win XP) the difference between the monitor and printer was minimal. I am not familiar with the technical jargon relating to color management and relied on the operating system to do a satisfactory job. I only use PSP as a hobby and am not as picky as most photographers but this was very disappointing. I also tried printing some graphics as might be used in a brochure and the colors were too red. I cleaned the print heads as per the Canon instructions and all 5 ink cartridges are full. I might also mention that grayscale images print looking similar to sepia although they are grayscale on the monitor.
don't get too technical as I don't really understand this whole "color management" thing.

I have a lacie electron blue iv 22 crt as a main monitor that runs great and i don't see myself replacing any time soon, cheapo NEC 17" LCD as a secondary and both running off an XFX nvidia geforce 7600gtx. the lacie is running analog output and the nec is running digital.
I get good color from the lacie and on all my prints (oly 330n and kodak 1400 pro, both are dye sub printers). still using adobe gamma from cs2. is this something i need, or should i just stick with what works. (i guess the answer is stick with what works, but do you guys think i would actually GAIN anything by going for this.)

A very similar problem as discussed, but not solved before:[URL]...Planar 26-inch Wide gamut LCD, Eye One Display 2 and latest Lightroom. Just upgraded to Win7 64bit and kaboom. After hardware calibration and profiling all colors in Windows looks great but pictures from my camera (GF2) look dull in LR and don't match what I see when save for Web and look through the web.
Same images opened on calibrated XP machine looks fine, all colors are as expected. If I don't use hardware calibration on Win7 machine and just tweak the sliders in control panel->color management the colors look somewhat off but not dull and consistent and behave as I expect and used to. I've tried both ColorEyes DisplayPro and i1 Match programs in simple and advance modes with the similar (bad) results.

I just got a new computer installed, same monitor tho. Ever since I got this new computer, I am unable to print in PS as well as I used to be able to a couple days ago. The color is way off. I have applied my color settings throughout all my Adobe programs to be the same in AI 10, ID CS3 & PS 7.0. I also have a Xerox Phaser 7750 GX.
There is a computer in back of me that prints great & how my computer used to print. Are there some settings that I should check there to compare with?
