When I try to print one of my pic (tried different color sheme), the pic is always a bit darker.
does it have something to do with photoshop, or the fact that I have cheap printer?
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
System: Vista x64 Monitor calibration: Eye One Display and basICColor Display software - profiled to basICColor's PrePress setting. Luminance is 130. Paper: Hahnemuhle 'Photo Rag Pearl' (with Hahnemuhle's profile) and Permajet 'Oyster' (with Permajet Profile) Settings in Print Dialog are: Photoshop Manages Colours, Paper profile selected, Perceptual Rendering Intent, Best Photo, ICM, Colour Management OFF (no colour management), Paper Type selected. Image is perfect in Photoshop window and perfect in Print Preview, but prints about a stop under and with a cast. What can I do to get prints that come close to what I'm seeing? Right now I can only get them if I brighten them such that, in ACR, the file would be way overexposed. This is very odd. CS3 was much better. Any ideas? Can I create a profile for my CS4/Vista x64/R2400/Paper Choice combination that will get me what I'm seeing on the screen?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been printing out a lot of black and white photos on photopaper on a HP Photosmart 7510e.
The printouts are very dark so I've had to boost the brightness levelsin GIMP prior to printing. The problem is that this takes extra timeand I also don't want to save these levels in the XCF file. I would say that (going by the Gamma Display Filter) the printouts are around40% of the brightness they ought to be.
I have a simple design in coreldraw X5 and a rectangle with a postscript fill (example: color bubles), now whenever i print out this artwork the rectangle prints in a dark grey color and the rest is OK.
Before i used X4 and the same artwork with the same printer were working perfectly, but now this is happening since i use X5
My friend has taken some engagement photographs and unfortunately the couple have dark hair and the background is also dark - I think you can see her problem with the photos. Somehow the background needs to be lightened and neither of us know how (we both have Photoshop 7)
View 4 Replies View Relatedi have an image that is 28' wide by 60' high. i have to tile print it, but i have to print it out on film (see thru acetate). it has to be able to print at 1400 dpi. i know how to print at 1400 dpi on adobe photoshop, but i dont know how to tile print on that program. i have the image now in illusrtator, because it lets me tile, but i cant get it to print out for film (1400 dpi). im using a epson 1280 printer.
i really need to be able to tile print this in high resolution on film. anyone know what i can do??
Calibrating the monitor doesn't help.....it means that the brightness of the photos is okay but then again everything else on the screen is too light.
Tried changing color prfofiles etc but no difference.
The strange thing is that it only happens with photoshop....cs, cs2 and elements. With oher programs as I mentioned the photos when dispalyed are the original brightness they need to be.
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
View 3 Replies View RelatedI saved the image used in the tutorial but it looks darker than it does on the website. Why is that? When I adjust the levels the blacks look too dark even though I made sure my foreground color is less black.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn 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.
I am in Photoshop, all the colors are darker and more saturated. but when I save the file, it gets all light and not how I wanted it. Just to let you know, I am running CS2.
Much more full of color. This is what I wanted. I also might add that when I load pictures they are darker than when I open them out of photoshop. For some reason it just makes everything darker when in photoshop.
I am using Photoshop CS3. We also use Indesign CS2. Our photos usually come out really dark in our newspaper. Whenever I lighten the photos the color looks washed out but if I don't lighten them, they become extremely dark. Same thing with our grayscale photos. I have emailed another paper and they suggest we open the midtones on our photos and use a highlight dot at 2% and shadow dot range from 93-97%, depending on how much black area there is in the photo. My question? When they say open the midtones, where do I find the highlight dot and shadow dot?
View 20 Replies View RelatedOld: 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a deadline for my art GCSE closing in and there's a major problem with my final piece!The actual art work is fine, and It looks fantastic viewed from photoshop. However, the printing company requires it to be in PDF format, and when I save as PDF the PDF file has darker, blander colours. Really noticable... I find with photoshop everything I print comes out darker also.. so I tried researching this and found out a bit about CMYK and RGB but to be honest I need someone too explain this to me in english, with no highly confusing technical terms. My final piece relies on bright pink and blue, and so I wouldn't want to waste the money printing it on A2, only for it to have dull colours.Thank you so much in advance I am extremely worried (I've uploaded a JPEG to show how I want it to look when printed, and then a PDF to show the annoying dull colour change)

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just started using PhotoShop 7. I noticed that every image I opened is MUCH darker than it appears when looking at it using any other program (Corel/Internet Explorer/Exif). If I adjust the levels inside PhotoShop so that the picture looks good, it become over-exposed in all my other programs.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was asked to take some photos (Canon 1D MK2, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM) in a very dark church, and I had no flash (iso 1250). I shot them in RAW, and I converted them with CaptureOne. Histogram was really on the left. I did what I could leaving them a bit dark becouse in the parts that were really dark I didn't have any detail, and in some other parts a lot of noise. How do you behave in such situations? Which is the best way to fight noise? Does somebody of you have -by any chance- any tip-trik?

However, the file provided by Adobe as a solution is an empty text file. Is this a mistake? I followed the instructions but it did not fix the issue. I'm guessing that the text file provided needs to contain some data.
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.
