Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

  • My printer takes forever to print from photoshop elements 9

    my printertakes forever to print from photoshop elements 9 then when it prits the crop is wrong, lots of noise or distortion. It only does this in adobe photoshop elements 9.

    Yes it is different from what I see in print preview. I have been saving the file and picking it up in windows to print its so much faster and predictable. It takes forever to print from p-e. I read somewhere the printer needs to be calibrated for color but shouldn't have anything to do with crop or printing speed' Thanks

  • Epson stylus c88+ will not print from photoshop elements 13

    I am using Photoshop Elements 13 to edit some images. I am trying to print on the Epson Stylus c88+ inkjet printer but i am getting an error that the saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements. What do I need to do? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer but it still does not work.

  • Printing from photoshop elements 6 for mac

    I have an i-mac and use photoshop elements 6.  I have created hundreds of images but when i have contacted printers to print cards i created from these images using indesign i have been told by many printers that there is an issue regarding RGB vs CMYK .  Where and how can i get my RGB images printed for a reasonable price.  billrene

    The main question I have is whether or not there is an efficient way to get a rgb images printed.  I have an Imac whose screen is a rgb pattern so even if i convert the images to cmyk (which i can do in a couple different ways -- through indesign or putting the images in photoshop).  however since my sreen is a rgb format i can not acurately see the changes I have made through converting to cmyk.  also i have several hundred images i have created and would rather not have to convert them all before printing.  I have had problems finding a printer that will even attempt to print rgb images.  I have checked at kinkos as well as several print shops in montana where i live.  each time i am told they can  not print rgb. the images I sent to those printers were unusable because of the color distortions.   When I talked with some one in the Apple store they suggested I get a different computer.  It has also been suggested i get a printer that could be calibrated to the rgb format and i could print the images myself.  another suggestion i received was that there may be a calibration program/software that i could use to make the converesion.    Help.  billrene

  • Why is it so difficult to print from Photoshop Elements 11

    I had a terrible time printing from PSE9 so upgraded to 11 (of course 12 came out right after I did this).  Printing is worse than going to the dentist.  It takes up to 10 minutes, sometimes more just to get the print set up the way I want it (size, paper type, etc).  And over half the time the entire system locks up.  I am not extremely computer savvie but right now I would tell anyone who asked to stay as far away from this product as possible.  I also hate the Adobe website.  I find it extremely difficult to find what I need when I am looking for support.

    What exactly is the problem? Just using File> Print brings up the following dialog box that provides for most options in drop down boxes. The exceptions are usually if you have to go into Advanced printer settings options because of the need to change a setting in the printer driver itself (and that is more down to the printer manufacturer than anything else).

  • Printing from Photoshop Element 8 on a R300 printer

    All,
    This was a previous posting that did not work for me.  I am experiencing the same problem that this user is having.  I had stop using Element 8 entirely an decided to give it one more try.  I can understand this young lady pain because I am have totally frustrated as well.  I have try all tips that I have found on the web an nothing is working.  If you have any suggest please let me know.  I have included the original posting below.  My photos never look like what I edit on the screen. If I open a photo that has never been touch and I just print it looks great.  I cropped a photo with no other changes an the photo did not come out well.  I tried adobe and epson and got phone run around.  adobe wants me to upgrade to element 9 and I don't want to pay the extra money an still be frustrated. I have own both version 5 and 8 and have not been happy with either one. any suggestions
    Steve
    Help!  I'm really quite useless at all this computer stuff, and my problem is slowly driving me mad!!!  I am trying, unsuccessfully, to print from Elements 8 using an Espon Stylus Photo R300.  However, I dont know what settings to use.  I can get prints - but they dont represent what I see on the monitor.  I have tried using Picasa and the representation on the print isnt too far removed from that on the monitor.  iPhoto is slightly worse.  Can anyone tell me in simple english what settings I need to use - I have seen other discussions on the same topic and think that color management should be done by the Elements 8 and not the printer?  Any help would be very much appreciated - before I lose it all together

    Thanks for the help. I figured that out today. exactly what you put in your response.  I was close with all the suggestions given. I had to do a process of elimination.
    Thanks.

  • Printing from Photoshop Elements

    I'm hoping someone out there can answer this question that both Adobe and Epson cannot. In PSE8 I cannot find the paper profiles I have downloaded, but in PSE9 they are exactly where they should be. From the "More Options" print dialog box I choose let PSE control color and none of the Epson or 3rd party profiles are there in PSE8, but are there in PSE9. Why can't PSE 8 find them?
    Thanks for any help.

  • Printing from Photoshop Elements 10 - Mac

    I have no idea if this is more of a MAC question, a PRINTER question or an ADOBE question....
    Background:  I just upgraded to PSE 10 and switched from a PC to a Mac (so learning both).
    When printing from PSE 10, I cannot, for the life of me, find how to change my paper type!  I'm used to having that option right from the print dialouge in PSE 9 AND from the PC.  I've searched everywhere....I can't even find a place to do it in my printer settings.
    Anyone a Mac and/or Adobe expert that can help me??

    It does not seem to concern Photoshop, though, so you might want to check the Photoshop Elements Forum:

  • Can't print from Photoshop elements 13 on local printer?

    I can't get elements 13 to print, get a message saying it can't open printer, printer is open and prints from other software.

  • Cannot Print from Photoshop Elements 12 Mac

    Hi,
    I have Photoshop Elements 12 Mac (full retail not App Store version).
    When I go to the print, the print button does nothing. The same printer and settings work correctly in Aperture. Preview, all my other apps.
    Canon MP620 + OSX 10.9.2 + Latest update from Adobe Website.
    Any ideas?
    Phil

    Go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements settings
    To see the library, click the Go menu in the Finder and hold down the option key and it will appear below the little house for your user account. While you're in there also go to the Saved Application States folder and delete any for PSE. Repair permissions and try again.
    Also be sure you have the latest driver for your printer (check Canon's website). If all else fails, try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver.

  • Printing from Photoshop Elements 9 with MAC

    There is no drop down menu showing paper sizes 4 x 6 or 5 x 7 when printing photos.  It is a pain to move everything to iPhoto to print these sizes. How do you do it?

    You can review here as well. It`s for PSE11 but most of it is applicable for PSE9 as well.  http://blogs.adobe.com/pselements/color-management-settings-for-the-best-print-output/

    I used the ColorSync utility to verify, and it came back with this report:

    I did not know what to do next.  At the bottom of the window it said to go to www.apple.com/colorsync to find a tutorial.  I got a message saying that link does not work.  Tried to find the tutorial by searching at apple.com, but could not seem to locate it.  Does anyone know what the report above means and what I should do about it?  
    Also, how to find that tutorial?
    Re Using RGB all the way through, When I print from Photoshop Elements, I select Adobe RGB, Photoshop Manages under "Color Handling", Relative Colometric  under "Intent" and "ColorSync" i the Epson printer box.  Do you mean to do something different in this sequence?

  • Dark images from Photoshop Elements 11

    Printing from Photoshop Elements produces images much darker than the screen. Several hours on the Chat Line have not resulted in a cure. The images from Windows Print and Epson Easy Print are very good. I've re-loaded PSE11 and checked the drivers. Any ideas?

    Three ideas:
    In Editor>Edit menu>Color settings, check "Always manage Colors for Computer Screens"
    In the printer, check printer to manage colors.
    Turn down the brightness of your computer screen, and calibrate same.

  • Problem Printing from Photoshop CS-5 (version 12.0) since installing Yosemite on iMac.

    Any attempt to print from Photoshop CS-5 results in Photoshop crashing when I try to enter print settings such as paper profiles. I use several Macs and printers including an Epson Stylus Pro 4880 and a All-in-One Epson Workforce 7520. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop; uninstalled and reinstalled print drivers for both printers. I have the same printing problems with jpegs and raw files both large and small. I can print from the computers while using Yosemite if I print from other applications including InDesign CS-5.  I think I have tried all the suggestions that have been offered in this forum.
    Fortunately I have a Macbook that I forgot to upgrade. It has OS 10.9 and CS-4 installed and once I installed the Epson drivers, it worked! So, I can meet my deadlines but still would like to work from my large desktop machines. After long sessions with a very helpful Epson technician and carefully going through the comments in this forum, I am convinced the problem is in Apple's new operating system.

    Which reminds me, update 10.10.1 is out. Have you installed it?
    Also sometimes this works: Resetting your Photoshop Preferences from the keyboard:
    Hold down cmd-opt-shift and start Photoshop and agree to "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file"
