Color syncronisation between MAC and printer

I have just purchased a new MAC and there is poor sync between the screen and prints, there is an orange tint to the end result. Before I used a G5 MAC and the sync. was very good. I am using the same printer and Photoshop CS4, the only thing that has changed is my new MAC.
Any help would be apprecated.

You have a Mac, not a MAC .
Have you checked your color profile using Digital Color Meter and ColorSync Utiltiy in your Utilities folder?

  • Color coordination between screen and Printer

    When I print, the bright, beautiful picture on the screen prints as a dark, dull picture. I would like the printed picture to be the same as what I see on the screen.  For your information: my OS is Windows 7 Premium.  I use Photo Elements version 10.  My printer is a Canon PIXMA Model MG5220.  I have tried changing software and printer settings, but to no avail.  How do I solve this problem?

    Open the picture file
    Go to Enhance>Adjust Lighting>Levels. Use the white eye dropper to set the white point. The other eye droppers are for black and gray points.
    Here is a good reference:
    http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-editing/elements/tone-color/
    Sometimes the effect is amazing. It is interesting that the eye droppers are not in the levels adjustment layer.
    This may help as well:

  • 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.

    Hi cbafiero,
    It seems that the problem lies in your router. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is (I've just now discovered it myself), but after switching from a Linksys WRT54GX2 to a thrift store Netgear, my shared libraries appeared instantly. My gut is telling me that the Linksys routers are blocking the multicast traffic, which is stupid on Linksys's part, to filter traffic internally. I'll look more into the Netgear and see what it has that the Linksys doesn't (or vice versa).

  • My home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2.

    my home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2, even during watching a movie.  I go to the mac to re-turn on home sharing but it is still on.  Any tips?  I also have to turn off and back on at the mac every time i switch on my apple tv.

    Sharing Stopped working again over night.
    I went to Apple Support Artical TS2972
    As soon as I did this Home Sharing started working
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
    Firewall Section
    5. Check Firewall Settings
    If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
    In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
    If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
    For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
    Block all incoming connections
    Allow only essential services
    If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
    It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day.  This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.
    Tommorrow will be the true test.

  • Is there a way to stop the text shifting between mac and pc?

    I can't believe there is still no fix to the vertical text shift issue when transferring fla's between Mac and PC's. Create an fla on a Mac put some text in it, save the file and open it on a PC and see how the text has dropped.
    Adobe please tell me I'm missing something here or at least acknowledge the problem and explain the cause.
    This problem has plagued flash for as long as I can remember. None of the other applications (Photoshop, Illustrator etc) have this problem. It wastes huge amounts of time and causes massive quality control issues especially when outsourcing work.
    We're using CS3 now and the problem is as bad as ever. It happens with all text fields and all font types.
    Please help.

    Don't get your hopes up that anyone from Adobe will see your posting.  These are user to user forums and appearances by anyone from Adobe are rare.

  • Share files between Mac and Windows in same iMac with boot camp

    Hello,
    I am new in using Mac and recently I buy a IMac 24" model.
    I used to use PC a long time with a lot of old document.
    I want to install Windows XP with boot camp.
    But I also want to share my documents, music, video files between Mac and Windows in same iMac.
    How can I do this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Eric

    Hi Eric and welcome to Discussions and the Apple world.
    Mac OSX can read and write from Windows partitions (like the BootCamp Windows partition you are about to create) when using FAT32 as file system for Windows.
    However with FAT32 you are limited to a partition size of 32GB.
    Mac OSX can also read from Windows partitions that uses the NTFS file system, but it can not write to them unless you use a third-party helper like either Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ or NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
    Windows can not even see or use a Mac OSX partition without additional help by MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

    Yes, I do. The only bug I've found is this:
    My XP machine will not play video from the Mac.

  • Help: symbol shifting between mac and windows, flash cs3

    I'm doing work reviewing flash files created by other users
    on mac and windows. I'm using os x 10.5.6. When I open a file
    created in windows / flash cs3 some symbols on the stage will have
    shifted upwards on the y axis. If I correct the shift and then send
    it back to the windows user they see the symbols incorrectly
    aligned, as if I had moved symbols around on a correctly aligned
    file.
    The strange thing is not everything on the stage is shifted.
    Only particular symbols will move, and it's usually symbols only
    (not text frames, drawing objects, etc).
    I believe there's a general history of bad behavior when
    saving flash files and trading them back and forth between mac and
    windows, but does anyone know what may be causing this? Or a
    remedy?
    Thank you in advance.
    Peter

    also, I tried opening the same files in vista using a mac
    mini with vista installed on a bootcamp partition. When opening
    other windows authored flash files there I had shifting issues as
    well, so I'm not convinced it's strictly a mac vs. windows issue.
    Unless it's a flash cs3 on windows xp doesn't like mac flash cs3
    and vista flash cs3...

  • Transferring keyboard shortcuts between Mac and Windows

    I need to migrate users from Mac (CS 5.5) to Windows 7 (CS 6). I have tried to transfer a user's custom keyboard shortcut set by copying the .indk file to the appropriate folder on the PC, and although it shows up in the list, when I try to select the set I get an error saying it is in the wrong format or the file could be damaged. Is there a way of transferring keyboard shortcuts between Mac and Windows?

    Shortcut sets seem to be human-readable text files, so you could try making a copy and doing some editing, changing cmd to ctrl and opt to alt, and change the platform value in the first line to "win" though I can't make any promise it will work.
    There are also some known problems trying to migrate legacy sets into newer versions of ID since CS5, I think.

  • File transfer between Mac and Windows

    I am running Windows on my Mac and I transfer files between mac and Windows alot using my external hard drive. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this than having to use my external hard drive like a networking solution or something. Thanks...

    i also run windows on my mac (for work). The issue i had was that when booted in osx, i could see the windows partition, and copy files FROM it to the mac side, but i could not copy files TO the windows partition.
    As i understand it, this is because the apple NTFS driver (to read the windows partition) only allows read access (not read and write access). It was easily solved with MacFuse (which is an open source way to add different disk file systems to your mac, kind of like teaching it a new language), and NTFS-3G for mac osx.
    http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
    scroll down a bit for the download link. The installer will put in MacFuse and NTFS-3G, so it's the only one you need.
    After a reboot, i can read/write to the windows partition while booted into macosx (and it's free).
    i hope that helps.
    p.s. the efi boot manager download is NOT required.

  • Firewire between Mac and Windows

    Hi,
    I'm having some problems to connect Windows 7 and Mac OS X (10.6.5) with firewire.
    I've installed ubcore drivers (from unibrain) on windows to have firewire network drivers.
    The network works perfectly between Windows and bootcamp, between Mac and Linux, and in target mode between the MBP and windows. But i've got an error when i try to connect Windows and Mac.
    Windows seems to have a new hardware connected, and is searching for drivers that it doesn't find, and Mac gives me an error :
    ERROR: FireWire (OHCI) Lucent ID 5901 built-in: handleUnrecoverableErrorInt.
    It seems like Mac is not mounting a network connection over the firewire, but something else.
    Is there a way to force network mode for firewire ? Or is the problem somewhere else ?

    So, i've got my answer.
    You can't use firewire between Mac OS X 10.6.5 and Win7. Unibrain doesn't support it, and i can't find any other way to make it work...so you just can't.
    So sad :'(

  • Syncing between mac and windows

    I have an issue where I have created files in Adobe Draw (and previously in Ideas) which I have then saved to the Creative Cloud. I open these files in Illustrator on my Mac, save them back to the cloud then open them on a Windows PC. When I save these files on the PC, I get the Unable to Sync Files error message. I have gone through these solutions Error: "Unable to sync files" but no solution applies. If I create a file on my PC, it syncs fine. Is there a known issue when sharing files between Mac and Windows? I can save the files to Dropbox or email them and I don't have this issue. Thanks

  • Color shift between play and pause

    Hello,
    On CC 7.0 and 7.1, I noticed there is an important color shift between pausing and playing my timeline when using "CineForm Visually Perfect" encoded source material.
    This is especially noticeable on reds.
    Using other codecs, there is no such shift.
    My video card is a Geforce 650M. At first, I thaught it might be related to the video overlay settings of the card, but there are no such settings in the control panel.
    Besides, using Quicktime to play the source produces no shift as well.
    As I am often doing color correction using Premiere, and as I have dropped Avid exactly because I always had this same problem (when using a profiled calibrated screen), I would like to know precisely what is going on. As I'm regularly producing shows for broadcast, it is a real problem not to be sure whether what you see matches the final exported output in all circumstances.
    NB : For the need of searching the cause of this problem I disabled any custom profiling of my screen.
    Thanks ! for any answers.
    Fred

    Sure and thanks. But nevertheless, if you color correct using a calibrated screen, and produce for the web ; or if you do a first pass of color correction before the ultimate pass happens with a "properly calibrated TV", wouldn't you like that your paused frame would look like your playing frame ?
