Are Windows 7 and Elements 8 compatible?

Just bought a Dell Windows 7 and reinstalled Elements 8  on it. When printing photos from elements to an HP k850 printer the results are terrible colors.
Can anyone help re settings I should use in Elements. Tried Adobe color management and tried printer color management. Printer is slightly better but still not comparable to my previous experience with Vista.

Thanks for your reply.
After much wasted ink and paper and hours I realize that the problem involves the choosing of paper quality.
It is just not working properly when I choose any of the premium papers in the paper choice selection.  If I choose plain paper and actually use the photo paper the prints are acceptable.  I am assuming this is a problem with the driver included in Windows 7 for my HP K850. This was not a problem with my old Vista machine.
Have you had any problem with photo paper? Does anyone know what I can do about the driver?
Thanks

  • Why are windows and desktop on iMac acting wonky?

    t's raining out and that may or may not have something to do with the fact that for the first time (after 20 years of owning a Mac), the Document window and Mail window (both which were open at the same time) were doing a jig, moving too the right a little ways, then back again. It made it impossible to delete or move emails. The windows did this completely on their own. This is quite disconcerting.
    And, on the same subject, perhaps, for the last few weeks, at times my mouse (corded) is acting as if I'm clicking on the left-hand side so all open windows become small and I have to click on a window to continue working on my document. It does this on its own without me necessarily using the mouse.
    And last, but not least, earlier this morning I went to turn off the computer and was about to click on the dialogue box that asks if I want to turn off the computer now or wait 58 seconds, when the desktop turned black, then back to normal, then black and it didn't allow me to click on the blue box. This black and normal switch went on for a minute or two, then the computer turned itself off.

    I can't open them without buying software when the same emails on my iPhone have the attachment as a PDF and open?  Thanks
    Acrobat PDF files open with Preview which is already installed on the Mac.

  • External Hard Disks Windows And Mac Compatible

    I have recently bought an external hard disk, which I plan to have one 80gb partition onto which I can do regular backups of my mac hard disk onto, and then the other 220 or so just for data storage. however I want to have the 220gb readable by both macs and PC's, and the 80gb as bootable by OS X (I am doing a complete Hard disk clone onto the external disk)
    anyone have any ideas

    If you looked at Disk Utility [...]
    I didn't mention Disk Utility at all. You do know that Disk Utility is just a simplified GUI front-end for the full functionality provided by diskutil, don't you? This does not make diskutil any less "officially supported".
    Furthermore, the Mac OS X hints article is probably
    not supported by Apple and therefore I didn't mention
    it. I'm not in the habit of going against Apple
    policies. Especially while I'm still under their
    warranty.
    I have no idea what are you talking about here. Is this just FUD or what? Of course it is not "officially supported". Neither are many other useful hints provided at that website or elsewhere. So what? In no way does that mean that it cannot be done, not even that it shouldn't be done. Just do it at your own risk, there is nothing legally or ethically wrong about doing it.
    Had you just advised the OP not to do that, I would have had no problem with it, and wouldn't have "corrected" you. But that's not what you said. What you said is wrong and had to be corrected, it's as simple as that.
    I did Google what you asked and didn't find any
    relevant articles.
    I wonder what did you Google for and whether you did actually read anything you found. These are just from the first 20 results I get:

    If you have a solution why not you just explain it
    Because it's not a simple solution and it's much better explained by providing a link to the web page where it's fully discussed by people who have actually tried it and compared it to other approaches. You're not trying to make me believe this is a bad idea, are you?
    instead of trying to correct another poster.
    Oh, man! You were wrong and had to be corrected. You're not saying that correcting someone who posts wrong information is a bad idea, are you?
    Why have you chosen to take this personally I don't know, but I urge you to keep this discussion in strictly technical terms and support your assertions with facts, which as of now you've not done yet -- not that it has stopped you from requiring me to do it, despite I clearly had already done it, though.
    It should be your intent to help the OP, not to try and
    correct another poster, even if it didn't work.
    Abe, I really urge you to calm down and re-read what you're saying. Correcting wrong assertions is part of helping the OP, isn't it?
    Now, if you really think you were right when you said "There is not a way to have two partitions on a disk with one being Mac OS X format and one being Windows format", please support your assertion with facts and keep the discussion in technical terms instead of just telling me I shouldn't correct you. And yes, I will accept links to publicly accessible web pages that support your assertion as facts and won't require you to explain them.

  • Are Lightroom and Elements complimentary?

    If I have Photoshop Elements 10, why should I get Photoshop Lightroom 4.1?
    What are the advantages?
    What are the disadvantages?
    There seem to be a lot of problems with Lightroom 4(.1), is there a conflict with Elements 10?
    Will editing done in Lightroom have to be redone in Elements?

    1) You dont absolutely need LR if you have Elements, but many find that having both speeds their workflow and results in better images.
    2)  Lightroom brings several features to the table not found in Elements.  LR includes a database (Library) module that enables faster, more comprehensive searches for photos on your computer.  If you shoot raw, LR offers a superior user interface.  Processing several images with similar needs simultaneously is easier in LR.
    3) There are no disadvantages to having both programs.  You can have both and use one or the other, as I sometimes do. Each has their own niches, and there is a  large overlap of function.   LR is a sufficient tool for many photos and tasks.  For those,  it is faster and easier to use than Elements.  Elements has a true pixel editor so can do more sophisticated enhancements to an image.  Actually, the most powerful combination of software is LR and Photoshop, but Elements is a decent approximation to PS's if you don't need 16-bit images. 
    4)  LR 4 had teething problems, but everyone that I personally know using LR 4 is satisfied with the current LR 4.1.  There is mostly agreement that LR 4.1 is a bit slower than LR 3.6, but I would not avoid LR 4 for fear of it having "problems."    I've not heard of any  conflict between Elements and LR 4.1.  There are still issues reported on this and other forums, but I suspect they affect a small and diminishing number of users, and may be not much different from other imaging applications
    5) Nothing done in LR needs to be redone in Elements. After converting and adjusting in LR, you would pass an image on to Elements for further enhancements if needed.    LR does not do layers, compositing, and other pixel editing techniques--that's exclusively the Photoshop / Elements domain.  Normally, raw conversion and basic image adjustments (and a bit more) is done in LR.  When the image is transferred to Elements as a tiff or jpeg it is exactly as it left LR. 
    Hope that is helpful.

  • Digital Camcorders - What Kinds Are Good AND Mac Compatible???

    Well, the subject kinda says it but so what are they? Im looking for good digital camcorders that have good video quality and that are Mac/iMovie compatible... My price range is pretty much anything $275 and under.

    In that price range, you are limiting yourself to only a few, and video quality will be OK, but not great.
    If the camera has a firewire jack on it, you should be able to connect it to your mac and capture to iMovie.
    MiniDV tape cameras are the standard, but some of the newer hard drive/DVD cameras (AVCHD format) will work with the newest version of iMovie.
    What's definitely necessary is the firewire jack. Cameras in your price range from Sony, Panasonic, JVC, etc. should work.

  • Are iCloud and Leopard compatible?

    I just got and iPad and want to use iCloud on my MacBook, which is running Leopard 10.5.8.  I'd rather not upgrade to Lion due to issues I've been reading about.  Does anyone know if/how I can use iCloud while running this system OS?
    Thanks

    No, you need Lion.

  • Are iMovie6 and iDVD5 compatible?

    I have iLife '05 running on a G4 with dual processor 450s. Bought iLife '06, but just read 2 things that give me pause.
    1 - iDVD6 requires a 733 mhz processor. Might my dual 450s make up for the slower speed? Do I dare?
    2 - My guess is no. Especially since I read a bunch of horror stories about iDVD6 causing a lot of problems.
    So my real question is... can I use iMovie6 with iDVD5? Or is that a recipe for disaster? I would rather do without the upgrade that spend days troubleshooting.
    G4 Dual 450   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Well I am not sure if it will work or not but I have not had issue with iDVD 6 either.
    I would not use the export to DVD button but a "Full Quality" export then drag the exported file to iDVD. I am sure that would work.

  • Want to use a Lacie External Hard Disk with Windows and Mac? Can I?...

    Hi, I've just purchased a Lacie Extreme D2 external hard disk, I'm looking to use it to move film clips from my Mac G5 to my Sony Vaio laptop. I'll connect the Mac using Firewire 1 and the PC using USB 1.
    I understand there is an issue with setting the compaitibility of the hard disk to either Mac or Windows format but I'm wondering if I can set it to both, so it's possible to transfer these files? The hard disk is Windows and Mac compatible but does it have to be partitioned a certain way?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Format the drive as FAT or use the Mac format (HFS Extended) and install MacDrive on the PC.

  • HT2477 Are documentS created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other

    Are documents created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other?

    As with a lot of software, it depends on the version of Word, and what features the author used.
    Technically, Office 2010 for Windows and 2011 for Mac are supposed to be feature compatible. As are Office 2007 for Windows, and 2008 for Mac.
    However, if a person using Office 2010 / 2011 used a feature that only exists in that version and sends the file to someone using Office 2007 / 2008, they would very likely have trouble opening the file, or having it display as intended.

  • Plugins that i know are compatible in version 7.0.1 are reporting as not compatible when i try and install then in the same version running inside of VMware.

    Greetings ..
    I am trying to run Firefox inside of VMware Workstation V8 in Widows 7 and Fusion V4 in Mac OS X 10.7.2.
    I first tried to restore a working profile backup of Firefox made with FEBE in windows inside of VMWARE, when I load Firefox more that half of the plugins that were working in Windows and OS X natively, are reporting as not compatible with this (V7.0.1) Firefox and will not update to a working version, as in many cases they are the latest version anyway.
    Also it is inconsistent, as i have tried several times to install Firefox and restore the profile and each time it is not all the same plugins that are disabled and reporting as incompatible.
    I have also tried to do a clean install of Firefox and going to the website and installing the plugins directly, and while i have not tried all of the disabled plugins, I am unable to install plugins that i am currently using in the same version of Firefox outside of VMware that are working and or can be installed when I am not running Firefox inside of VMware.

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Are there instructions to uninstall Elements 7 and Elements 10

    Hello,
    Could somebody please help me?  I purchased a new laptop and I have to return it because it's been giving me a lot of problems.  I have to uninstall Elements 7 and Elements 10 before I return it.
    Are there specific instructions and links to uninstall these 2 programs?
    Or, can I just use the Windows uninstall programs to completely uninstall them?
    Thanks for your assistance!

    Oh I see, I didn't know that.  I called the regular 1-800-585-0774 number.  I had to wait for 18 mins to get a regular person, which then put me on hold for another long time, then she transferred me - and the line just kept on ringing and ringing.  All in all, I waited for 1 hour and 5 minutes, until I went to chat with the Adobe lady - even while I was chatting with her the phone just kept on ringing.  So, no, I'm not impressed with the kind of phone support they gave me.
    Thanks for the number.  After your last message I decided to just uninstall the thing.  Then I uninstalled a couple of other things and ran a System Restore.  The laptop is all packed and ready to go, I'll be going to the post office to mail it back to QVC in a little while.
    Thanks for your assistance.  Have a great weekend.

  • Desktop publishing software compatible with windows and mac?

    I am trying to help the kids at my daughter's school produce their own newspaper.
    Apart from Word (which I can't get to do what I want!) is there anything out there compatible with both operating systems. The school PCs have MS Publisher 2003 installed. I am working on a mac using Quark and InDesign. I created the last newspaper for them but I'd like the kids to get more involved if possible and enable them to have some input when it comes to creating it. Other than having to do it myself or even worse invite 60 kids into my home is there anything out there?!!!

    Hi Grace,
    if you use QuarkXPress 7 or 8, you can actually legally install/activate *the same* license *on two* machines, even cross-platform. You are just allowed to use one installation concurrently.
    So you could test it on Windows and if the student like it, a student copy is extremely cheap.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse
