Printing problems using Photoshop Elements 6

I have been using Photoshop Elements 6 for several years and am currently having printing problems, e.g., some prints are too light, some are too saturated, or too dark...they just don't look like the screen which looks pretty good.  I use Spyder 3 Pro to calibrate my monitor.  Does anyone know of any websites that address these type of problems.  Looking for some advice, tips, etc.
Thanks.

Does this happen only in PSE6 or in other programs that can print graphics, like Acrobat or Word or PowerPoint?
I only ask because my LexMark started to vary color saturation shortly before the print head dumped an entire cartridge onto one page and it gave up the ghost.
It wasn't just pictures. Word documents would go from light to dark. Graphics (business cards, labels) would print bright and then dim on the same page.

  • Printing problems from Photoshop Elements to Epson XP-800

    I cannot print photogrpaic images with my desktop MAC (OS X10.8.4) from Photoshop Elements 9.0 to my new Epson XP-800 printer. Printing is not a problem with  Word text or images from iPhoto- it is only with PSE that there is a problem.  The problem persists even if I try using a cabled connection rather than WiFi.  I have ensured latest software from Epson has been downloaded.  This problem did not occur when using the same system with the previous printer (Epson Photo Stylus 1290).
    Any suggestions for solving this rather than just a workaround of moving the edited PSE image back to iPhoto & printing from there (which admittedly does work but shouldn't be necessary).
    Grateful for any help.

  • Mac OS X 10.5.4 - Problem using Photoshop Elements

    I've loaded Photoshop Elements 6 onto my hard drive and I can open it up, but I can't actually use it. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with Adobe, only to be told that they think it has something to do with my permissions - so they can't help me, I have to talk to Apple.
    I can't find a number to call to speak to a real person (was I crazy to think I could, or have I simply missed something?). Anyway, I think I fixed "permissions" using a thread posted somewhere in the forum (disk utility, first aid, etc. etc.) and I managed to get one step further in Elements, but it's still crashing.
    I really don't know what to do next. Can anyone help? I have a program I know I should be able to use.
    Oh, and BTW, I'm useless with computers, so step by step help would be appreciated

    In 10.5 you can access them from the 'Open...' Dialogue:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    But, as you say, if accessed this way will need to be saved to the desktop and imported to iPhoto as a new image.

  • How do you overcome problems using Photoshop Elements with Win 7 and Eyefinity display?

    I have a 3 screen Eyefinity setup on a PC running 64bit Win 7 with 16gb RAM and an AMD Radeon 7950 graphics card and Phenom II x4 processor.
    I struggle to get a stable PSE10 to work on this setup.
    I bought a combined set of Photoshop and Premier Elements 10 and although installed it always crashed when I saved images with the error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 has stopped working". I recently did a fresh install of Windows 7 and decided I had to solve the Photoshop problem.
    I installed Premier 64 bit version from disk 2 and Photoshop Elements from disk 1 and then ran compatability checker. Under compatability settings for Win XP srv pack 3 it starts although with some toolbar errors and top and bottom of screen transparent instead of solid. I can save files worked on but then still get the error when I exit Photoshop Elements.
    Has anyone had similar and solved the problem? Tech Support said my s/w was too old and unsupported without a service contract.

    There should be no need for compatibility mode; pse10 is designed to run on W7. Try making a direct shortcut for the Editor. You can then launch the program directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icon and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.

  • Problem with Photoshop Elements Printing

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for a couple of years now and know it pretty well.  Today while attempting to print, a strange problem came up:  After going through the protocol to make a print, just before the image prints PE does a very fast auto correction that basically ruins all the color correction I have made on the image.  How do I disable this function?

    Hi and thanks for your reply. I checked the settings under "Print", "More Options", then "Color Management" and it only has "Print Space", none of the three options that you said I should have.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

      Check your color management by clicking More Options in the print dialog There are basically three options:1) Printer Manages Color2) Elements Manages color3) No color Management Make sure everything is consistent e.g. if you choose Elements manages color make sure color management is switched off in the print driver.

  • Pictures print out dark when using Photoshop Elements

    I am using Photoshop Elements 6.   I pull my pictures up and they look beautiful on the monitor.  However when I print them out they come out much darker.  Has anyone else had this problem.  I even got a new printer because I was told it was probably the problem.  Still have the same issue.

    Donna,
    While you read up on color management (!!!), you may want to check the following:
    Reduce the brightness of your computer screen. The default setting may be sub-optimal.
    In Elements, go to Edit>color settings, and tick the option to optimize for computer screens
    In Elements, open a picture, then go to File>print. Look for "More options", go to the color management tab, and under color handling drop-down, select "printer manages colors"
    Suggest that you print from Editor, not from Organizer.

  • Printing problem using Elements 9

    I am trying to print a photo on my Canon MX870 that has been edited (cropped and a few slight lighting  changes) in Elements 9 , the colours look good on the screen but when I print it looks different, . I have the colour settings from the Edit menu set to "always optimize for printing". The file information shows the camera data as colour space sRGB.
    I am using canon inks (all full) and canon matte photo paper and I selected the matte photo paper on the paper type in printer settings.
    I have printed good photos  before on this printer (I think using photo gallery)  but was not using photoshop elements at the time.  Does it make any difference if the photo is saved as a jpeg file or a pse file?
    What am I doing wrong - Help please!

    Suggest that you set color settings to optimize for computer screens.
    Next, in the printer, elect to have the printer manage colors. 
    It's critical not to have both manage colors.

  • I use Photoshop Elements 11 to print panoramas. Works for jpeg images but not tiff. Suggestions?

    I use Photoshop Elements 11 to print panoramas. It works for jpeg images but not for tiff images. Seems strange because PSE11 manages tiff images in all other processes. Anyone fared better?

    Thank you for your trouble.
    My images are not usually layered and the particular case I am about to quote, it is not. The dimensions are 10,546 x 2,790 and the image has 16.7 mbs. I use 8 bit colour. When I set up the print screens for tiff, everything is normal until I get to the last screen with the image set upon the photo paper. Then the paper size indicated with the image refuses to budge from the A4 size, so the panorama gets printed on that. I consulted the Adobe chat line and the expert could 't get it to work either. So he came to the conclusion that the tiff capability had not been extended to printing panoramas. In seeking advice, I thought someone might refer me to an updating patch!
    Well done! You have confounded the system!  I could not find any control that would override the setting.

    Unable to find the Print Dialog Box when using Photoshop Element 6, G4 with OS Leopard(10.5.8) and Canon S9000 printer in order to choose the media type(paper type) to print photos.

  • Problems with Photoshop Elements 8

    I need help with my software. Every time that I print a photo using Photoshop Elements 8, the photo comes out with vertical lines and the colors are awful. I need to use Windows Photo Viewer to print photos, but I do not have the options I have when using Photoshop Elements 8. I need to know what can I do to correct this problem. The printer has no problems. Thank you for your prompt respond.
