Photos are printing poorly, muted colors. I have 10.9.5 and am using iPhoto 9.5.1

I use a relatively new hP photosmart printer and always had great color in my prints on my previous iMac. Now, with the new one my photos are muted and do not look like what I see in iPhoto. Any suggestions? I have not loaded Yosemite and don't know if that would help. I keep reading too many horror stories!

What version of iPhoto and system are you running?  Can you print normal looking photos from another app, say Preview?  Do you know the color profile of the photos you're trying to print?  You can see what it is by opening the photo with Preview and checking the Info window's General Pane:
Does the HP printer have a printer utility that can do a test print of each of the color cartridges to check for correct flow, etc.? If so have you tried it?

    I have a pdf with over 2,000 pages, many of which are sideways.  I do not want to manually flip each one (few are next to each other).  Is there a way to automate the function so that all sideways or upside down text pages are righted?

  • Photos are printing too dark

    Hi, I use Aperture 2.1.4 to edit my photos and my imac is running OSX 10.6.  I have recently purchased an EPSON Artisan 730 and am not sure what I am doing wrong but my photos are printing darker than they appear on the screen.
    The setting in Aperture are
    Paper size:  10x15cm
    Orientation:  landscape
    Colorsync profile:  PX830 730 Artisan837 730 Epson glossy
    Black point compensation not ticked
    gamma:  1.0
    sharpen amount: 0
    sharpen radius:  0
    scale to:  fill entire page
    print resolution: use best dpi ticked
    Please can you offer any suggestions or point me in the right direction.
    Thanks

    Léonie kindly asked me to add to your thread.  Other than the links you'll find in the post of mine to which Léonie already linked (I don't sense that you've read them), I can make the strong suggestion that you upgrade Aperture to the current version (and upgrade to 10.6.8 or 10.7.x, too).  Apple has been steadily working on color and luminance fidelity (it's a difficult problem), and has made significant changes to the rendering of Images in the OS and in Aperture.
    It is odd that you made no changes in the software calibration process.  Redo it?
    Here are some general considerations to be aware of:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17216135#17216135
    And an even shorter summary here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17539316#17539316
    Don't be overly discouraged by the complexity of the topic.  With some work you should be able to get reliably close.  Whether "close" is close enough is for you to say.
    I print (to Epson Printers, but that shouldn't matter) with "Rendering Intent" set to "Perceptual", and "Black Point compensation" checked.  The second is perhaps impossible to ascertain, but the first should change the luminance distribution visibly (depends on the photo).  These, however, are refinements.  You have to get "close" first.
    Here is the first thing to check after confirming that your printer is working properly (sorry for quoting myself):
    The quick answer -- now that you've got this far  -- is set your monitor brightness to something that appears gray rather than light.  This is probably close to the middle of the available range, and two or three steps lower than you might chose for comfortable viewing.  Implicit in that is that what is best for editing photos is often different from what is best for doing other work on a computer.
    Post back with questions.

  • Photos are printing completely black?!

    I have an HP D110 printer and an iPad running iOS 4.3.1. When using AirPrint to print photos, the photos are printing completely black. I restored the factory settings on the printer. Emails are printing fine using AirPrint. So far neither HP or Best Buy has been of any assistance. Please let me know if anyone has experienced this.

    Does AirPrint allow you to manipulate printer settings on the iPad? Are emails in black and white only? Have you tried printing an email with something colored in it like text, or an avatar, or something? If emails aren't printing color, or can only be printed in black in white, the printer isn't getting the message to use color and is just blasting out the black ink. Somewhere there has to be a step you are missing (obviously) that should fix this. Dumb question, but you do have colored ink in the printer, right?

  • I have iphoto 08 version 7.1.5.  I copied photos from recent - last import into albums.  I then deleted the photos and emptied the trash. Today all the albums are empty and the photos are nowhere in the library.  Have I lost them all?

    OK, here are a set of screenshots with my step by step - maybe you will be able to spot where I've gone awry:

    I go down to my Albums and find the picture in one of them:
    I hover over the pic so the little down arrow appears in the bottom right-hand corner. I click on it, then click on the Trash Can in the window that drops down:

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

  • I need to organize medical photos.  They are pre-op and post-op photos.  What is the best way to organize them.  should I use iphoto or is that too much trouble.

    I need to organize medical photos.  They are pre-op and post-op photos.  What is the best way to organize them?  should I use iphoto or is that too much trouble? Since they occur on different days, organizing by event does not seem appropriate.  Also, organizing by face is not always possible as some are close up photos of an individual eye.  Surely, this has been done before, and I don't want to spin my wheels reinventing this.

    Who can tell with that amount of information to work with?
    iPhoto is not limited to Events or Faces as organizational tools - Albums, Keywords, various forms of metadata can be leveraged for use as well, and these are often more flexible. Really it's up to you to look at the tools available and see if they suit your usage scenario.

    Connect your phone back and resync except this time uncheck all the albums from itunes when you sync. This will take all the albums off your phone and clear up space on your phone.

    Create a new ID:
    On the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that under You can be reached at only the newID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
    - Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out your ID and sign in with the new one.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Can I keep photos on external hard drive and still use iPhoto?

    I have virtually no space left on my eMac's 80GB hard drive. For a long time, I have kept my sizable iTunes library on an external hard drive connected to the eMac. It takes a bit of extra time to open up the iTunes library and to upload music from newly purchased CDs, but generally the external hard drive and eMac perform well together. My question is: Can I do the same with my photos (put them on the external hard drive) and still use iPhoto to access them and edit them? I have checked some of the Apple knowledge base documents, and there seem to be warnings against this. I am currently using iPhoto 6.0.6. I have purchased iPhoto 7.0 (with iLife '08) but haven't put the new software on the computer because there is not enough space. I would like to straighten out this space problem and get the benefits of the new software. (I have backed up quite a few of the photos onto CDs, but I like to have them handy--therefore on the eMac or on a hard drive connected to the eMac.) Thanks ahead to anyone with some good ideas on this topic.

    Yes it is, but you cannot access the at the same time as iPhoto can only open one library at a time.
    So, a solution might be to have the entire library on the external, and to carry the smaller subset on the laptop.
    To do this, follow the instructions above to move the library, but instead of deleting the library on the laptop (in the final step), put the pics from the earlier years into the iPhoto trash and empty it. (iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash. Hint: Don't so them all at one go! Better a few a a time.)
    Now you have the full library on the external (and if you want to access the full library, use that) and the 07 & 08 years on your laptop.
    To switch between libraries, simply hold down the option (or alt) key when launching.
    As you add photos to the Library you can use iPhoto Library Manager to move pics and albums /events between libraries, and so keep them up-to-date with each other.
    Please note this is the only way to sync the libraries, there is no app that can do this automatically.

  • I have a Nikon d610 and am using PS CS6. I am unable to download my raw files through Bridge on my mac. I have downloaded the most recent Camera Raw files - 8.7.1 - what should I do next.

    I have a Nikon d610 and am using PS CS6. I am unable to download my raw files through Bridge on my mac. I have downloaded the most recent Camera Raw files - 8.7.1 - what should I do next.

    The D610 needs ACR 8.3 so you are easily covered there.  I am not entirely clear on the process you are using the bring the files onto your hard drive.  The safest way is to simply bring all the NEF files into a folder on your hard drive, then find them with bridge and open from there.
    If still stuck, open Photoshop, and go Help > About plugins > Camera RAW and check that 8.7 installed OK.
