Color shift going from trial version to full version CS5

Hi guys, I have just gone from trial version of CS5 master collection to a full version of master collection CS5 on my PC.
My trial expired so I uninstalled it completely, then reinstalled fresh from the CS5 DVD. I also updated all of the programs straight after the install. (something which I don't think I did with the trial version).
My problem now is though I am experiencing quite a big color shift from what the trial version was showing me to what my full version is showing me. (Yes I have checked the color settings, they are all pretty much default North American General Purpose 2)
In the trial version the colors were correct, but now my file I am working on my "mouve blue have moved into almost a purple appearance."
Also if I go into acrobat and open the PDF version of the file I was previously working on the colors are also displaying incorrectly when opening the PDF that was created in the trial (which was displaying correct when using the trial). So I guess its not just PS related.
I have a laptop which is also running a trial version of master collection, and when I copy my file to this machine and open the colors are spot on how they should be (just like they were prior to me going full version) which tells me something has definatley changed in this installed full version of CS5 for me.
Not sure what I should do, unstall the software and reinstall it without doing the updates?
PS. Under color managment / advanced, windows color system defaults, my Device profile is: System Default (sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
Viewing conditions profile: System default (WCS profile for sRGB viewing conditions)
I havent changed anything there anyway in any install.
Any help would be great

Some key points to help understand why you might be seeing what you are:
When color-management is set up properly with a wide gamut monitor, sRGB images can seem dull and lifeless compared to wider gamut images such as those expressed in Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB.
Not all apps are color-managed, so with e.g. a wide gamut monitor you'll see a significant visual difference between the same image displayed via a color-managed app such as Photoshop and a non-color-managed app such as Internet Explorer 8 and earlier. Even though the color-managed applications may be displaying accurate color, many folks feel the inconsistency is "wrong" as compared to when more different apps display the same colors, which will happen with sRGB as the monitor profile (which is the Windows default).
People often consider more vibrant, saturated color "better".
Color management often does not actually work properly. Not all profiles are created equal, even properly formatted monitor profiles may not accurately express the monitor's capabilities, and not all color management in applications is done properly. You're not the first to report problems with a canned Dell monitor profile.

Upgrading from trial verion to full version.

Hello all,
Our company has just download the trail version for Sun One Web Server 6.1. Now we are all happy with it and going to buy a full version. My question is do we need to reinstall the trail version or there is a place to enter the licence key? We all don't want to redo it again since there are so many custom steps already done.
Thank you,
le9569

You don't need to reinstall or enter a license key. There is only one release of the software. There aren't separate "trial" and "full" versions, only different license agreements.

Help Upgrading from Trial version to Full version of PSE 10. Buy Now Link in my Editor not working

Went to convert from my free trial and purchase full version. When I hit the "Buy Now" button within my Editor, nothing happens. How do I proceed to upgrade? Thank you for your time and help!

[email protected] I would recommend purchasing the software directly from our website. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html After you make the purchase you can then enter the serial number you received into the trial.

I am running 10.5.8 and want to make use of the icloud changeover, I understand that I must first buy snow leopard 10.6 and then buy lion 10.7. Do I buy these as upgrades versions or full versions? I am not very techie, thanks for anya advice

A 10.5 era machine is better left on 10.6.8
I don't advise upgrading it to 10.7 as you'll have to buy all new versions of software for a older model machine, some are not ready yet and some of your third party driver software may not be available for your other hardware.
10.7 is slower and requires 4GB of RAM actually.
10.8 is being released this summer and it won't run on certain older graphic cards, so shortly you will be behind again.
Save your money for a new 10.8 machine. IMO
These rapid OS X upgrades are for those who like to be on the cutting edge and can afford to buy new hardware often, you didn't even upgrade to 10.6, so your not that sort of person obviously.
But you do need to upgrade to 10.6 for security issues and faster video. It will run your 10.5 Rosetta software, but 10.7 will not.

Need help with going from the trial version to full version

I am currently tring to download the trail version and having problems, but going to school and with my financial aid I bought the full version, but I can only get trial version.

Hi cowboy1977,
The trial version is as good as the full version the only difference being the no. of days of usage.
The trial software is good for 30 days only. If you bought the full version, simply enter the serial number in the trial version and activate it to convert it into full version.
You can launch the trial version of the software and it would prompt you to enter the serial number else, you can go to the 'Help' menu and select 'Activate' and then when prompted enter the serial number.

From trial version to full version

I've been working with the trial version of the Aperture 3.1.2.
Now I want to buy the full version (the version I have is full but it will expire in 10 days).
I just want to be sure, if I buy if from the app store on my Mac, that I'll just get the key and don't have to download the whole program again. I've put in a lot of work to get my albums and stuff all sorted and I would REALLY hate to start over.
I just want to be sure before I do anything stupid.
And I do want to buy it from the app store on my Mac cause it's about $100 cheaper then buying the box.
Thanks so much
Sophie

And to be clear, no matter how you download and install Aperture, any Library (you can have more than one) you created will still be there afterwards. Installing the App Store version (which you're going to have to do) doesn't overwrite the Library you created with the Trial Version. At worst, when you start up the purchased version you might have to tell it where your Library is, if you don't have it in your Pictures folder.

Anyone know how to open a project after going from Trial to full purchase?

i purchased the full version of Premier Elements 8 and the project I had been working on for weeks just won't open. It seems like it's there, but nothing happens when I click on the file. Any ideas?

Unless the Project file (.PREL) has become corrupted, there should be no reason for a Project, created in the trial, to not Open in the full-paid version. The ONLY difference between the two programs is that trial will embed a watermark on the Exported footage.
This FAQ Entry will instruct you on changing the Project, to remove that watermark.
Good luck,
Hunt

Trial Version vs Full Version?

I've just downloaded and installed the trial version of Sun Java Studio Creator, on my laptop running Fedora 2, and I'm not finding it intuitive at all. For example, I was trying to build a test website and I spent a 1/2 hour trying to figure out how to align text in a component (not ot mention resize and change the color of the text).
Is it me? Or is it just that the trail version doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the full version does?
Dracco

Hi Dracco
The trial version doesnot have any restrictions on these features. Please check the tutorials and see what you are missing.
Thanks

How do i turn trial version to full version with serial number?

I purchased Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium, but it was the Windows version I needed the Mac. I was sent a new Mac serial number, and the Adobe representative said I could download free trial and put in serial number to make it full version, but i cant figure out how.

Hi cayebug92,
When you proceed to install the software, it will prompt you to enter the serial number to continue with the installation.
If you have already installed the software then whenever you first launch the software, a window would come up indicating the no. of days left for trial usage along with a dialog box to enter the serial number to activate.
You can also launch the application and navigate to 'Help' menu and select 'Activate'. The activation screen would come up seeking the serial number from you. Enter the serial number and the trial would be converted to full version.

HT202389 Final Cut Pro Trial version to full version

Can you import from trial version to the full version which is downloaded on a different computer? F

Don't worry you won't lose your work unless you do something like delete the library.
To work efficiently, all your media and projects should be on an independent HD but I assume yours is the the Movies folder on your laptop.
If you have enabled sharing between both computers, you can simply connect them together and drag the Library in question from one device to the other using finder.
Far better to put the library onto an external HD - and back it up onto another drive for safe keeping. Drives fail occasionally, with catastrophic results for video projects.

Color shift printing from Lightroom 1.3

Windows Vista, HP officejet Pro L7580 printer, Lightroom 1.3, Photoshop CS3. All that being said and having used Photoshop since ver 5 with a variety of printers I find myself stumped with my latest soup of hardware and software. Screen colors do not print out anywhere close on paper when I try to print from Lightroom. Move the file over via "edit in Photoshop" and print from there and everything is fine. In Photoshop, whether Photoshop or the printer controls the color there is no problem. In Lightroom, however I have no control that I can find. I have no additional profiles so the printer controls the color. Photoshop and the printer are both set to AdobeRGB1998.icc. Other then just printing from Photoshop what am I missing in Lightroom?
By the way Adobe, in the future think about either Lightroom or Bridge but not both.

Hi,
Just a reminder for those who missed that thread (I guess this fix also
applies to LR 1 although I didn't check):
[FIX] Darker prints and color shifts when printing from Lightroom 2
(this is for Windows - Mac users please look here for a similar fix:
http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr_13_print/lightroom_print.htm )
The problem :
When printing RAW or TIFF files from LR2, you get a printer output that
is much darker than it should be and that presents various color shifts.
I'm using an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 with the latest Windows driver
(6.50 - which is rather old by the way). The workaround described below
works for me under Windows XP SP3. It should also probably work with
other systems/printers/drivers. Use at your own (minor) risk.
The "official" procedure for printing from LR is as follows:
1. Do not let the printer manage colors and select "Other..." from the
profile dropdown list and select the ICC/ICM paper/printer profile that
you want to use.
2. Click on Print... in LR which opens the Print Settings dialog.
3. Select the options you need and the paper you're using.
4. *Disable the color management from the driver's side* (in Epson's
drivers, "Mode | Custom | No Color Adjustments").
5. Print
Unfortunately, *this doesn't work* for many of us and this produces a
print that is dark and has color shifts as mentioned above. Note that
the same image prints correctly from QImage or Photoshop CS3 (that is,
the printer output corresponds to what you see on your calibrated
display).
Apparently, although color management has been (allegedly) disabled in
the driver, there's something wrong between LR and the driver which
makes that both LR and the driver are still trying to manage colors. In
other words, the "No Color Adjustements" option of the driver doesn't
seem to work with LR.
The workaround (found after hours of hair pulling and paper and
expensive ink wasting):
In step #4,
1. Instead of selecting "No Color Adjustments", set Mode to "Custom |
ICM
2. Click Advanced...
3. Check "Show all profiles".
4. Select Driver ICM (Advanced)"
5. Set *both* the "Input profile" and the "Printer profile" fields to
the very same profile that you specified in LR.
That is, if you specified Pro38 PGPP (Premium Glossy Photo Paper) in LR,
then also select Pro38 PGPP in both "Input Profile" and "Printer
Profile". This has actually the same effect has disabling color
management in the driver (what "No Color Adjustements" should normally
take care of).
That's it. When printing, you'll get exactly the same color results as
when printing from QImage or Photoshop. No more dark prints. No more
color shifts.
One might think that the bug is in the Epson driver but in that case,
QImage would have the very same problem. So I tend to think that the bug
is on the Lightroom side.
Hope this helps.

Trial version affecting full version install??

Hi guys.
I installed the trial version of Photoshop Cs4 extended then i bought the standard verion of Cs4 and uninstalled the extended trial.
Now when i try to install Cs4 it asks for a serial code on startup and the header bar says Cs4 extended. it also says extended in the startup box(with the creators names in)
I have tried the Cs4 clean up script as well as revo uninstaller to try and get rid of the trial completely but when i install the full version it still says extended.
Just wondering of there was anything else i can try? or whether this problem should be occurring at all?
Thanks
John

The trial version is the same as the purchased version.
Have you tried content aware move?
It's the tool bottom left in the tools pallet in expert mode.

Office for Mac Trial - upgrade to full version?

If I download a Office for Mac Trial, can I upgrade to the full version by simply purchasing online and entering a serial number to activate right there and then? (Without waiting for the box to arrive?)

Yes.

Have bought P.E.10; how convert my trial version to full version?

Have bought Photoshop Elements 10. Had trouble installing it. Forum advised downloading trial version, then converting that. Have downloaded trial version successfully. But how do I now convert to Full Version without buying what I've already bought (I have a disk, a serial number, the whole package)? Many, many thanks if someone can answer this!!

Dear Gautham K., et. al,
Ah, I was somehow doing both the trial version and the disk version at the same time. I entered that long serial number at one point. And I'm not getting a countdown of days left when I open my Photoshop Elements. So it looks like I might have inadvertently installed the full version--yay! (will know for certain when the 30 days are up if my Adobe doesn't go kaput). In this case, I feel like a dunce. But I'm a grateful dunce and thank you, thank you, thank you for this information!! Can't tell you how much people like me deeply appreciate such help. There's a special place in Heaven, etc….
RSA12
P.S. BTW, others installing a purchased Photoshop Elements on a new Mac Lion might note that they have to go through steps to get a Photoshop Elements Installer FIRST or the software won't load. None of the Adobe instructions told me that and that's partially how I stumbled into a kind of shaky limbo.
