Color mismatch EpsonR800 and Elements 6

Before upgrading to 6 from version 3, the R800 printed perfectly color matched photos. Now, they seem dark(er), and even when I switch from Elements managing color to Printer managed color and using correct profiles, the colors are still to dark. I also have an Epson 1270, HP8250, HP990 on which all colors are perfect. Right now as default, The R800 is using a color management called E_FIC8JA, there are others for different types of paper, but I usually pick an ICC profile for paper myself using driver or Elements. I guess I'm just generally confused about the color management I should be using on the printer and then what ICC profiles to use. For those who have read about this, apparently there was an issue at one time with darker prints mentioned on Epsons website, but now I can't find anything referring to that issue. Anybody, please help. I spend a lot money on paper and ink trying to get the prints right on my R800. Thank you.

Adobe has admitted that there is a color management issue with PSE 6 for Mac. I have an Epson R1900 and I am now getting acceptable color-managed prints by allowing the Epson Printer driver to manage color management (ie; color management in PSE 6 turned off). The Epson Photoshop Plug In also works well with PSE6 and ICC profiles; however, I have yet to solve 2 problems with this particular plug in: (1) How to get the program to capture 3rd party ICC profiles and (2) how to print borderless prints. If anyone has seen a user guide for this particular plug in, I would be grateful to know how to download it.

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

Color mismatch between CS4 and Canon PIXMA PRO6500

Hi there! I am trying to research if anyone else is having a problem with color mismatch between CS4 and their printer. Last night I printed a .tiff image out of CS4 to my Canon PRO6500 printer and the sky came out purple / pink! It was supposed to be a stormy grey color. I have the color management turned off on the printer settings. I have CS4 manages color turned on and the correct ICC profile selected for the paper I am using. When I do a soft proof in CS4 the image looks fine, but when I print I get something completely different, mostly with the sky (purple / pink) color! Just for the heck of it I did a Print Preview under my Page Setup and guess what, the sky actually shows purple / pink! So I have no idea what's going on. I checked all my setting, ink cartridges, tried different paper with the appropriate ICC profile and no dice. Still have a goofy looking sky! I thought PROOFING the image is supposed to show you how the printed image is going to look? apparently it doesn't because it's not. The Print Preview has an accurate representation of the print but I have no idea where the pink / purple sky is coming from. They are supposed to be stormy clouds as I said. I appreciate any help anyone can provide .

I have the color management turned off on the printer settings.
But do you have a measured color profile based on a sample print? Most likely not, so this is not doing anything in your favor. The current profile may present the defaults for a given printer, but not the actual density based on your other printer settings. So by all means, unless you can be sure to obey a full calibration throughout, turn on the printer CM. Also, since it is a Pro model, you may actualyl have to use the dedicated RIP software that was bundled with it to get correct results, not the default windows print engine.

Color discrepancies between iPhoto and Elements...

Okay, enough ******** about iPhoto ’08. I actually like it, but I have had no problems, so far. Anyway, there is something a little quirky I have been noticing: I do like the new editor in iPhoto, but I still jump between iPhoto and Elements. I have noticed that my on-screen images are generally a little lighter and with much better skin tones while viewing them in Elements. In iPhoto they are a little darker and skin tones are more red. What am I missing? Is there a setting (Color Settings in PSE, Color Sync) I should be paying attention to? It would seem to me that the image should look identical regardless of which editor I am viewing the image in.
Thanks for your thoughts…

Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. If you're still at 10.4.9 update to 10.4.10 via the COMBO updater. Also make sure you're at the latest Quicktime version.
Next, log into another account, create a library if there is none, import a couple of photos that are showing bad in your primary account and compare. If those photos appear correct there may be some conflicting preference files in your primary account. Here's how you can weed them out if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
Lastly, rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.

Old Toad,
Thank you for the advice. I have done everything you have suggested, except for the updating to 10.4.10. That is not an option. It trashed 5 of my machines and I am just now getting my main machine usable again. Thank God for backups.
I have taken the worst pictures and viewed them in every photo viewing application that I have including the Finder/Finder Window in column mode, iPhoto 6 and 4, and they are as they should be. This is clearly an iPhoto 7.x issue.
Thanks again!

Colors in Photoshop and InDesign don't match when printed

Output colors in InDesign and Photoshop (CS4) don't match. How can I calibrate? (I can choose a Pantone color for a Photoshop element that I've used in an inDesign document, import it into InDesign, and when I print, the colors don't match)
There must be a way to calibrate the colors among the CS4 software.....
(Mac OS 10.6.4 on 27" iMac)

That's what 'synchronised' means... as has been mentioned. Looks like you need to read a few colour management threads.
If you are picking color from the Pantone Libraries, you can easily get mismatches even with synchronized color settings. In ID if you leave Ink Manager>Use Lab Vales unchecked, the Pantone Solid libraries are defined with CMYK values, while in Photoshop the solid swatches are always defined as Lab values. So, if you pick a color like Pantone Solid Reflex Blue in ID, and then open a Lab, RGB, or CMYK file in PS and fill with Reflex Blue from the same library, you'll never get the default ID Reflex Blue build of 100|73|0|2 whether you are sync'd or not.
If you are actually outputting spot colors—the PS color is Duotone or a channel—then Use Lab should always be checked in ID and Color Settings would have no effect because ID doesn't have spot color management.
If you restrict yourself to the Pantone Process libraries, then you can work in CMYK mode in PS and get matches. In that case color settings might come into play if you embedded a CMYK profile in PS that conflicted with your ID doc's CMYK profile, but even in that case it's the assigned profiles that matter not the current color settings.

Colors locked in Photoshop Elements 6

Colors locked in Photoshop Elements 6
I created a 1 layer TIFF file in Photoshop Elements 6 with text only which was distorted then flattened. The result was grey text on a white background. The problem is I can't change the color of the gray text.
I select the Foreground color icon on the tool bar at the left side, then I get the color pallet window, but no matter what color I select the Foreground color icon can only be gray or white (if I chose a lighter color).
Somehow 24 bits worth of color choices are converted to 1 bit (gray or white), and there's no obvious controls to change this, no F1 help guides and no obvious knowledgebase or forum comments. Does the file format, which is unknown to me, govern Photoshop operations (?), which would of course make absolutely no sense even if it were true, because that should only be an output formatting decision.
Thanks for any comment or reference.

Color problem in ps elements 7?

I recently got a new computer for Christmas, and so i have reinstalled my ps elements onto it. I have been trying to draw this one picture and it was going perfectly well, that was until i switched to the internet and switched back to draw. Once i switched back, it wouldnt let me use any colors besides shades of black and white. I have NO idea what happened. It wont let me choose any other colors, if i try to click any color, like blue, and click "ok," it will just be a different shade of grey. And whats weird is, when i close the picture, my color comes back, but when i open a new document, it goes back to greyscale. Is there a way to fix this? Also, i notice when i have a document open, it says in the title area beside the title and layer "(grey/8)"
im not very good in computer knowledge, especially considering im pretty young.....
can someone please help??!?

Somehow you've created/converted to a greyscale image (that's what the "grey" means). Go to image>mode>RGB and you should be able to work in color again.

Color efex pro in elements 9

Hi all,
This has probably been covered before but I couldn't find it by searching. I can't find my Nik Color Efex pro in my elements 9. I have it in Lightroom and Elements 7. So I have to use it in 7 save and then open again in 9.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, GD

Ummm, sorry, I wasn't clear. What I meant was find the folders where the efex pro files are residing in PSE 7; then, move the files in these folders to the same folders in PSE 9.

Can you set the color of a specific element in a JList?

Is it possible to set the color of a single element in a JList without writing lines and lines of your own class? I know setForgroundColor exists, it just changes all element in a JList, so is there a simple way to tweak it? i am still a newbie, so re-writing swing, would be a bit of a problem for me. Any Suggestions? thanks.

you write your own renderer, about 6-8 lines, setting the color determined by an
if/else statement - note: you must set the color in both if and else
search the forums for
"implements ListCellRenderer"
and you should find plenty of examples
if you just want the selected element a different color, you can do this with
UIManager.put("List.selectionBackground", new javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource(Color.YELLOW));
but you must do this before you create the JList, and it will affect all JLists in your program.

Flawed colors with Lightroom and Fuji XE-1

The Camera Raw support for Fuji XE-1 is heavily flawed. Using Lightroom as a raw converter for these pictures, severe color mismatches can be found in the images. The problem is well known and was frequently reported on in internet blogs (sometimes refered to as "chroma smearing"), and it still persists even with Lightroom 4.3. Fuji tells me that all necessary data was given to Adobe long ago. So here comes my question: Why is the support for Fuji's XE-1 so flawed and when will Adobe guarantee full compatibility?

There is a thread in the Official Adobe forum for the reporting of bugs and feature request about the sub-standard processing of raw files from the Fuji X Pro1 and X E1. They have acknowledged that they are aware of the problem and are working on resolving the issue.
It appears that the Fuji sensor is unique and more of a chalange in creating an acceptable quality profile. I am sure that Abobe is making every effort to resolve the problem, however they will not release an update untill it meets their quality standard. Process engines are different for every third party raw processing software providers who are not able to use the camera manufacturer's proprietory processes and profiles.
Each provider have their own chefs and recipe's are unique.

OTN Live Web Services problem, mismatched WSDLs and Soap RPC reply

I've tried to connect to all those OTN Live Web Services using webMethods and found there might be a mismatched WSDLs and Soap RPC problem in Oracle side. There is a discussion thread of this: http://www.wmusers.com/wmusers/messages/116/904.shtml
Is there anyone out there encounters the same problem and agree that Oracle should fix this ? Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Mike,
I've just downloads all 5 WSDL and tried each single one of them again. The following are the results of the test.
Result (OK): this is the success case
Result (0): this is the "OTN Authentication Failure" and I cannot tell if it works if input is correct.
Result (1): this is the error I've mentioned in the previous message and I'll give you more details later.
Result (2): this is the "No Serializer found" exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No Serializer found to serialize a
'org.w3c.dom.Element' using encoding style 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'.

Let me explain what happens in error case (1):
webMethods construct the "targetOutSignature" for the client base on the WSDL.
After the reply message retrieved, it tries to "conform" (validate) it against the "targetOutSignature".
Whenever I get this exception, I can open the exception details and actually see that the reply xml has been received but with the error message of "Output parameters do not conform to targetOutputSignature".
If I manually remove the "targetOutputSignature" from the generated client, so that webMethods won't try to "conform" the reply message against the one described in the original WSDL, it works perfectly.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.
Thanks.
