Colors in print preview not matching colors in soft proofing

Hi There,
Just wanted to print a new photo and realized that the colors in print preview do not match the colors in soft proofing. In both cases I selected the same icc profile and rendering method. The print colors matched the colors in print preview. I never had a problem so far. All new prints will be checked with soft proofing and adjusted when necessary. I never paid attention to the color rendition in print preview and all prints perfectly matched the colors from the soft proofing. I was surprised when my print came out of the printer and the colors weren't matching the soft proofing colors, but that of the print preview.
I don't understand why Photoshop renders the colors differently in the first place. Please see attached screenshot for the difference in the blue/cyan colors.
I would appreciate if anybody could point me in the right direction in what is causing this difference. I don't care if the print view colors will match the print, but I do care when soft proofing is not working.
Thank you.
Best regards,
D.

Here are some addtional details:
PS 13.1.2
Mac OS X 10.8.4
12 GB Ram
60 GB free disk space
I printed the same photo from two other computers (MacBook and iMac) with different PS versions (CS4 and CS5). The prints turned out identical to the first one which matches the print preview color rendition on my main computer (MacPro) running CS6. Strangely the colors in print preview of CS5 on the iMac renders the colors identical to the soft proofing colors.

  • Calendar colors on iPhone do not match colors in iCal

    I just got a 3G iPhone, and have found that the colors I've assigned to different calendars in iCal do not match their colors on the iPhone. Many of the colors I've chosen in iCal are custom (that is, not available directly from the popup menu, but none of the colors match, and on the iPhone, multiple calendars apparently have the same color (two in blue, two in orange, and two in red).
    This is with syncing via iTunes—I don't have MobileMe, fwiw.

    Yeah, there is a long thread on this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7539514&#7539514
    You should look it over--you'll find instructions for a clunky work-around (haven't bothered doing it, myself) and the link to leave feedback to Apple to ask them to fix this.

  • Bug: Previews not generated properly when Soft Proofing is enabled in LR5, LR5.2 RC

    I am experiencing problems with previews in Lightroom 5.0 and Lightroom 5.2 RC.
    I have noticed incorrect previews under the following circumstances when Soft Proofing is enabled:
    1. When I make modifications (like cropping), the preview in the Navigator panel does not update until I uncheck (and recheck) the Soft Proofing option.
    2. When I am paging through several images at 100% or greater, the view in the main window, while zoomed in correctly, does not provide the correct resolution (blurry) until I either uncheck (and recheck) the Soft Proofing option or zoom out and zoom back in.
    I am using:
    Lightroom 5.0 64-bit, Lightroom 5.2 RC 64-bit
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
    Canon CR2 RAW files
    16GB RAM, plenty of local disk space
    Note: I have not done extensive testing on this, but many of these files are stored on a network drive, so I don't know if there is some sort of bug in the optimized routines for network drives/folders.

    I have the same problem as michaeln2 and adobe 1230931.
    I use Lightroom 4.4.
    When I am in the Develop screen and I turn on Soft Proofing, then about 20% of the time the image goes blank.  If I go back to Library view and reenter Devleop, sometimes the image will show up, sometimes not.  If I advance to other images, sometimes they'll show and sometimes not in the Soft Proofing mode.  Sometimes rotating an image in Library mode and going back into Develop "wakes up" the Soft Proofing and sometimes not.
    In other words, the soft proofing feature is, as michaeln2 says, functionally useless.  I'm surprised that no fix has been posted on this thread.  No point upgrading to Ver 5 either...as it seems to be buggy there as well.  Help!

  • Prints to not match colors on monitor.

    How do I resolve this issue?  I am told to convert to CMYK, but not sure how and if possible with PSE 11. I order prints from outside sources and all turn out the same.  I have a green/gray tone throughout.

    Suggest that you calibrate your monitor with a device made for this purpose.
    Go to Edit>Color settings>check "Always Optimize for Computer Screens"
    Go to File>print>More options (at bottom of dialog)>Color management tab>under color handling drop-down>"Printer manages colors."
    Please let us know if this improves the color fidelity.
    What happens when you print from another application?
    You can't convert to CMYK in PSE.

  • Colors pantone book do not match with screen?

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with matching the colors in my Pantone book with the colors on my screen. My screen is calibrated with the colormunki display. The adobe suite is synchronized and I use fogra39 as my working space.
    I have looked up a color in my Pantone+ uncoated guide: a deep dark red (1797c). However, when selecting the swatch in illustrator it shows up as a pinkish red. It does not match the color book at all!
    Also, the cmyk values of this swatch are entirely different than what is is in the guide.
    Can anyone tell me what the problem is?
    Ps. I have overprint view on and use lab colors to show spot colors. My monitor is normal gamut, but I can reproduce the color with my own cmyk mix. So my monitor can reproduce the color.
    On my iPad (Pantone app) and in de Pantone manager I also see this pinkish red color, which does not match the color in the book...
    Thanks!

    There is one point which nobody have made mention of, which also is something anyone who works in print should know about.
    The first thing to know is that there are some Green and Red Pantones that are IMPOSSIBLE to reproduce on screen because of the limitation of the RGB gamut. (The RGB of screens can only reproduce a bit more than 60% of the real-life colors and around 50% of the Pantone are situated inside the remaining missing 40%. Almost EVERY Pantone, on your charts, that are situation on the 2 top and 2 bottom positions are not reproducible on screen.)
    So, it's always normal that some Pantone never look the same between a screen and the Pantone chart even if the screen is calibrated in the best ways and that is why you uses a Pantone chart. The Pantone chart isn't just a "decision" tool, but also a "preview" tool so that you can see the exact final color regardless of what's on screen.
    If that is not working with your workflow, then it simply means that your workflow is flawed as it's how it has been made to be. It's not a choice, but a limitation of physics with computer hardware which you have to live with as a professional.

  • Type 4 printer driver shows color is available when printer is not a color printer

    I am working on migrating to a new Windows Server 2012 print server.  I am trying to use the new version 4 printer drivers whenever possible.  I have noticed an interesting thing.  Here is an example.  When I added a new printer, an HP
    LaserJet P3005 black and white printer using the HP LaserJet P3004/P3005 PCL6 Class Driver, under "features" it reports Color as "Yes."  Now the printer is not color and I have noticed this on all of the other class 4 drivers for black
    and white printers.  Am I missing something or is this supposed to be this way?  The printers do print fine, I just wanted to know why this is showing up like this.

    Really a question for HP since it is their software.
    BUT:  A class driver can be used for a wide range of devices.  If the core class driver HP added for the P3005 is also used by devices that support color then the driver itself DOES support color even when the device does not.   There
    are a couple ways HP could code around this.  I do see that HP's PS version of the P3005 does not have a color option in Printing Defaults. 
    I have seen this type of issue from other vendors on previous operating systems, it's not just HP nor anything specific to class drivers although a class driver would expose this when the software to constrain the feature has not been added by the vendor.

  • PS Elements 11 -- Incorrect Colors, color painted not matching color selected -- Help please!

    Having a really odd issue with colors. The color that I have in my brush/paint bucket does not match the color that I picked up in my eye dropper/foreground color. Instead it paints out some diluted version of the color I'm using, and I have no idea why. I tried to look up a solution -- I reset the paint brush, all of the tools. And I have no layer styles set on said layers used.
    Any ideas how I could fix this? I need too desperately.. And as a side note, I am using RGB for color.

    Suggest that you reset the brush tool. On the tool's option bar, look for this:
    Click on it to reset the tools. If that does not fix it, go to Edit>Preferences>General and look for for this:
    Click on it, close PSE, then open the program.

  • Dell 2135cn Dell printer but not in color.

    I have a Dell 2135cn color laser printer. The printer works but will not print in color. I am using Lion. Anyone know how to print in color?

    You can at least get the printer to print in color if you use the pxlmono/pxlcolor drivers from OpenPirnitng.org.  Just be sure to add the printer using the "Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/pxlcolor (recommended)" driver. 
    As I recall, when adding a printer using this driver, the default color space is Grayscale.  You can go to Printer Features, select color mode, and save it as a Preset.  Sorry to say you will have tro rely on Dell for any scanner drivers.

  • Preview and print does not match image in LR

    I tweaked an image in Develop and printed some 5x7s until I got it right and then went to 13x19 (first time ever using that size with my R3000). The print preview and the print  were way too red. I went back to a 5x7 and it was way red as well in print preview, so I didn't print. I replaced a light magenta cart that I think ran out during the 13x19 print, and then some others that were low, and did a nozzle check and that was okay. I have spent hours looking around all of the settings (sRGB) and can find nothing that would explain what changed between my last good 5x7 print and the red 13x19. I went back to earlier versions and had the same problem. Monitor is due for recalibration, but that probably has nothing to do with it since it changed so suddenly. Any ideas of what to do?  R3000, LR 4.3, Win 7, NEC PA 271w, beginner level

    A print that is too red / magenta is an indication for double color management, i.e. by Lr and by the printer.
    Color management must be done only by one: either by the application (Lr or Photoshop) or by the printer but never by both.
    When you select a printing profile in Lr that means that now Lr is doing the color management. Consequently you have to switch off colo rmanagement in the printer dialog (printer driver).
    See screen shot:
    Or, you can do it the other way round: Let the printer do the color management and select <Managed by Printer> in Lr.

  • 3D active-x color table does not match color box ctrl values

    I am having a problem. I want to allow the user to control the background color and plot colors on the active-x 3D graph in labview 7.1.1. I am using the standard color box ctrls in labview to allow the user to pick, but the colors do not match. When I pick blue (0,0,255), it comes up red (255,0,0). When I choose yellow (255,255,0), it comes up cyan (0,255,255), and vice-versa. Black and white seems to work correctly, as well as green (0,255,0) being right in the middle. I am assuming this means whatever algorithm NI is using to create the color value is not the same from the labview side to the active-x control side. Anybody else run into this, and have a solution?

    Thanks John.
    Kind of funny, I ran off and built a sub-vi with the exact same guts as the OLE vi, but from looking at what the RGB vi did to break it down.
    I would say though, they need to make a common sub-palette to deal with color issues. They have the same two RGB VIs located in two different spots, and this OLE one is in yet another. I think I would have looked under the Active-X sub-palette before I looked under the 3D graph palette (mainly because those are junk anyway, they barely give you any functionality).
    Anyway, problem solved, thanks again.

  • Monitor and printer colours not matching!

    Hi, when I print, the colours do not match my monitor! Using CS6.

    There's no easy answers here, you have to read up on color mangementnt, calibration and all that stuff. Start by reseting any color tweaks to factory defaults on your monitor and printer. Beyond that it's a topic peopel write books about and nobody can answer this in two simple sentences. Scour the print-centric forums for Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign for some posts from the past that offer basic guidance and research the topic on a more generic level with a web search.

  • Adobe Acrobat Print Preview not supported

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8.2.0 and have been having this issue (not really a problem but it bugs me) where when I go to print a PDF and click on preview before sending the document to the printer I always get this message pop up that says "Preview is not supported." I just like to be able to get an idea of what things will look like before potentially wasting paper.
    Is this normal and expected or is there something I can do to get print preview to work?

    It's normal and expected because Acrobat has a more powerful printing and preview capability than Preview, so running output through Preview would just dumb it down.
    If you set up your Page Setup right, the preview in the Acrobat Print dialog (Copies and Pages) is pretty effective for predicting print size and position relative to the true print margins. For color previewing, if you use Advanced/Print Production/Output Preview in Acrobat it, too, blows away the soft proofing in Preview.
