Photoshop :: Print Preview Considerably Darkened And Blue Shifted
Aug 8, 2013
The print preview in Photoshop CC and CS6 is seriously flawed, though that may not be apparent if you are working in sRGB at 6500K and a 2.2 gamma, which most people use by default. In my case, using "old school" print settings (Adobe RGB at 5000K and a 1.8 gamma), print preview is now considerably darkened and blue shifted.
Fortunately, files print correctly despite the flawed preview, which is what you would expect if the display profile is being ignored. A recent attempt by Adobe to fix the bug in Acrobat Pro was only partially successful for users of the most current version. The problem is still being investigated, according to the Adobe staff participating in the Acrobat forum.
I don't print much anymore--relying instead on soft proofing--and rarely from Photoshop, so I just discovered the print preview problem now in Photoshop CC. Of note is that the last time I printed from Photoshop CS6, which was at least several months ago, the preview was fine. But CS6 now exhibits the same problem. All of this suggests to me the possibility of a more fundamental color display error than just a Photoshop or Acrobat bug. (I wonder if it might even lead to Apple.)
My setup: MacPro running OS X 10.8.4, NEC SpectraView PA271W (includes calibrator), North American Prepress 2 workflow (synced across CC and CS6). In print settings, Photoshop is set to manage color using Canon MX870 profile for GL2 (glossy) paper. Of note is that in any combination of color management and print settings, the print preview is darkened and color shifted (in slightly different ways per whatever settings are in effect). I have not tried recalibrating the display for 6500K and 2.2 gamma, (more accurately, not reveal it), but that would undermine the print workflow.

I just installed X5 and I'm opening files from ver 11. It's all opening fine, but when I click on anything, the screen flashes pale blue. When I look at a print preview - it's ALL a blue tint. Can't work with that. I'm running Windows 8.

I'm running Windows 7 64Bit running Adobe CS5 Master Collection. But ever since I allowed CS5 Photoshop to control my printer (HP Photosmart Prem 310-C) to do a test print of a graphic that I created all of my Blues print a violet/blue color, no matter what color blue. It has even affected MS Word & MS Project when I try to print blue colored font or Gantt Chart blues will no longer print blue, but will print the same blue/violet color. I've even tried a brilliant blue which will all view great, but prints the same shade of violet blue! All my colors and Blues will view great! I've calibrated my monitor and I've reset my printer several times and still the same thing! I never had this problem before I downloaded Adobe CS5! A strange thing is that I can run check printer test and the data & image that is stored in the printer will print blues perfect, including running a copy direct from the scanner bed and it will produce perfect blues. I almost feel as though Adobe CS5 has possessed my PC and printer, how do I get it back to printing like it did before installing CS5 Master Suite?

I'm on a Mac working in Illustrator CS6. I went to print out of the print dialog box and after I printed, I noticed that the margins are larger on one side that the other. I re-opened the print dialog box and double clicked in the area that shows the artwork prior to print, to re center the artwork in the window, and noticed that there two dotted lines in thw window. One being the artwork, and the other is the image printable area.
Well when I double clicked on the dialog box to re-center the artwork in the prinatble area, the art works centers, but the printer image area is offset, or nudged upward. When I print the margins are larger on one side and not centered. Heres the million dollar question,"How do I re-center the image area for printing so when I print, the artwork is centered?" I'm not printing boarderless. I will try to include a pic if needed.

I have a drawing where some lines have a 60% screening in there Plot Style. The print great from AutoCAD. But when I create a PDF and then print the PDF the Screened lines show up kind of blue / purple.
I am plotting to a Cannon iPF720 on 22x34 paper from Acrobat Reader X. I'm creating the PDF from AutoCAD 2012.

So I am working on this document and it has silver background. I go to print preview (Photoshop cs3 and cs4 on Vista) and I get color looking more like bronze looking but when I do print, it comes out just like it should (in working mode which is Monitor RGB with Proof colors checked).
This setting is the only one I've used to make sure image/psd looks exactly like what it should when printing. I tried the default Working CMYK with and without Proof colors but it's still showing me the bronze look instead of silver. I've looked on the net and no exact easy fix for this was found. I really really appreciate any help.
Another simple question is regarding size. I'm working on a document size of 17.5 x 8.7 inches and the actual Banners will be printed at size 175 x 87 inches (5 banners each at 35inch wide but combined into a big one). So essentially, I'm working at 10% the size of what the final print will be and my file size is 760mgs. You can only imagine how big the file would be if I work on the actual size.

using mac OS 10.6.8 with CS5 Xtnd: I don't get it! When I first began using this app (and I've spent much time swearing at it with no result) and until recently and in either normal or full size mode showing xhairs and whether I use as paint or erase the effect is always considerably less than the diameter of the tip.
What is with this? I require a tip that goes right to the edge of what is supposed to be the tip...

Recently I noticed that when I print on a certain paper (Epson Premium Ultra Luster Photo Paper) that a blue tint is being printed on the paper along with the image. This seems to be occurring whether I use a standard .icc file or a customized .icc file for this paper. Am using Adobe CS5 to manage colors, rendering intent relative colorometric. Am using an iMac with 10.6.8. and Epson 3880 printer. The only thing I can think that changed is I upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 a few months back. If you look along the sides of the image below you can see what I'm getting.
Just for the heck of it, I just printed the same image with Photoshop Elements 9, and I am not getting this blue cast.

I received an Autocad file from another person, opened it with Autocad 2011 LT, and it looks fine. But when I go to print preview all the lines are very thick, making the detail of the drawing difficult to see. I've tried manually changing the lineweights but it has no effect on some of the layers. Is there an easier way to fix this other than recreating layers?

What tool what method can I use to reclaim this darkened subject? I attempted to use the lasso tool to snag the subject then used the 'shadow/highlight' tool to adjust. Though the details are intact within the subject the results were less than acceptable.

This file will crash when I try to print or print preview.
[URL]
No problem printing other files.Btw, from Document Properties, it shows that there are two RGB fills, which I cannot find.
That's the reason why I go into Print Preview to look at the separations.

I am trying to recreate the text of this logo: [URL], specifically the "Arkham City" text. As you can see, there are several darker and several lighter pixels inside the text, forming a great looking texture that isn't a single color. My question is, how can I recreate this texture, having some darker and some lighter pixels?
Also, what would be the best way to recreate the wind effect? I tried using wind, but that winds out the entire text rather than just the bottom of each letter.

When printing I unchecked center image in PScs5 and reduced the size of my image, using the achor in the preview window, to run a test print. I'm printing to an Epson 3880. Once I ran the test print, I returned to PS and my original image. Selected print and only the preview of the test print is there. The orginal sized image will not load in the preview window. I have deleted the PS preferences and restarted twice. Even after moving to another machine, the profile seems to be embedded in my image. The same preview image is on the three machines I moved to.

This a new computer with fresh install of Photoshop. When she chooses Print with Preview and sets up all the parameters within the dialogue, and finally clicks print, the job goes straight to the printer (Epson 1440). She told me that on the old computer it would produce a preview as indicated and she could check colors, sizing, etc, before sending the job to print.
I've gone through and can't see any changes to be made that would enable this feature.

I am using CS2. when I print with preview and choose "any" icc profile, I see an off color image. This off color image is printed off color and not what I originally had. It is approximately 1/2 to one stop density lighter (and redder) and the shadows are cyan/blue, instead of neutral black.
If I choose Adobe RGB as the profile and print, the image is close but not correct. This is happening with CS2 and elements 6.
Of course the r1800 is set for ICM and off - no color adjustment.
I have down loaded new profiles, reinstalled my epson r1800, checked for missing files in CS2.
I am running windows XP Home, 2gig memory, dell xps. I have been using this system for over two years without a problem until now.

I just upgraded by CS to 5.5 here in the last couple of weeks (I had purchased it prior to 6 being launched). Any way, I've noticed on some ads I create, when I save as an EPS and then go to "flatten transparency" that sometimes it is taking elements and darkening the photo/graphic underneath. For example, I have an ad that has three starbursts with drop shadows overlaying some photos. When I select the "flatten transparency" function, it is darkening a portion of the photo underneath.

How can I get my image to center in the Print Preview window? (Epson R2000, 12 x 12, borderless). No matter where or how I change the settings, the Print Preview window shows my image has been cut off on the right hand and bottom edges. Hence, I cannot get a 12 x 12 borderless image to center on a 12 x 12 sheet of scrapbook paper.

I'm using PSE 11 on a MacBook Pro. My Blue Skies have too much green in them for my preference. I'm sure there is a way to change this, but how? Also, can I change the default 'blue skies' to something more to my liking for a long-lasting remedy?
