Colours don't match in photoshop

Hi,
Brand new to Kuler and really like it, EXCEPT...
I found a theme I really liked, downloaded the .ase file, and
used it to build a set of colour squares for reference. That's when
I realised the colours I had didn't match what I'd seen in my
browser. It didn't take too long to work out that this is not at
all surprising because Firefox isn't a colour managed browser.
By assigning different ICC profiles to my to my AdobeRGB
'swatch' file, I can make them match much more closely the colours
as shown in Firefox but this is far too hit and miss for my liking.
So my question to fellow colour luvers is: "Do the rest of
you only use Kuler to create themes for use on the Web and other
non-colour managed places?" If not: "Do you feel like you're just
working in the dark and not having the faintest idea what colours
you're actually creating?"
One answer here would be to use Opera but I tried that and it
just crashes on my Windows XP machine. Is there something I'm
missing here?
For information, my monitor and printers are all as well
calibrated as I can get them... and that's pretty good as it
happens.
I'd be interested in your comments.
Roger.

Safari will do the trick!

Colours Don't match up, ghost image

I have a 1515n printer, with less than a 1000 prints,.. just coming up for it's first black cartridge.
Unfortunatley, it has developed an image qaulity fault where the cyn and magenta images do not match up, and get laid down on the paper in different places. So hence a ghosting effect on the final print.
I have searched the web and forums,.. for info but searching for registration and other keys words does not help.
Does anyone know how to fix colour image registration issues on a 1515 type printer.
Many thanks
Diyhouse

To close this issue out for folks who have taken the trouble to read the problem statement.
The fix was actually quite simple,.. I merely needed to run the calibration routine,. which had not run for some time,. why it drifted out so far out, I do not know.
But thanks for reading.

Laser colours don't match screen colours on 2605dn

I have a LaserJet 2605dn. I recently replaced all 3 colour toner cartridges (with the exception of the black). When I printed a photo from PS CS3 the colours-especially the skin tones were off.
Before I replaced the cartridges the colour printing was fine.
What has changed the output of the 2605dn since I replaced the cartridges?

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.

Printing from InDesign and Photoshop - colors don't match

I'm printing the same CMYK image from Photoshop and from InDesign, to a HP desktop color printer. I'm using CS3, all the color settings are identical in both programs, but the printed colors don't match. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
(cross-posted in InDesign forum)

I have had the same problem: an image printed from PS differs from the same image printed from ID. However, I can't very well print as bitmap from ID since the image is part of a spread, including text. I have tried various combinations of settings. I made the PS image to 100% of the ID final size (in the layout). I tried various print dialogue settings (high transparency flattener, medium transparency flattener, color managed, not color managed, CMYK output and leave unchanged ... every combination I could think of). ID does something on printer output. My understanding (at least from CS2) was that ID output to printer uses a PDF format of some sort. I had the idea maybe the ID output did some sort of resampling or re-rendering of the image, but have not prooved that out. I did get some slight improvement in the ID output when the image in the ID layout was put in at 100% (whereas it had been 88% (the original image being bigger than the ID layout size). What I am getting now in CS3 is a clean looking photo in PS, but in ID, skin tones look somewhat blotchy and a bit more saturated. The PS image is better than ID, and while ID is not bad, why is it not as clean as PS? I can definitely see the difference between PS and ID output and know it will show on press, too. Any suggestions?

Photoshop to InDesign - What works? What should be done in InDesign versus Photoshop?

Hello!
I have been using Photoshop for years, and before very recently any work I've ever done started in Photoshop - whether it be a logo or newsletter layout. From there I learn whichever tricks I need to for whatever the customer has asked - ie: If it's a logo that needs to be huge for a banner - I break it down piece by piece in photoshop - bring it in to Illustrator and save it as the printer wants it... Two months ago, I got a job laying out newspapers which I've been doing on InDesign -as I learn it on the go... I do alot of the ads in Photoshop now, because I feel like I can make better designs in it, then drag the resulting 300ppi jpeg into the InDesign layout.
1. What would be better about creating ads in InDesign over Photshop?
2. Has anyone ever made full pages in Photoshop and then drag the resulting jpeg into InDesign - and what were the results
3. Has anyone ever done a newspaper/magazine page-by-page in Photoshop, saved each as PDF, then combined? What were the results?
3. Does there exist there a quick-guide for InDesign whicch gives rules-of-thumb for printing on different paper qualities? For instance, I'm looking for general rules for newsprint layouts/designs - how big text must be, image size minimums, etc.?
Thanks!!!

It's not the software that makes better designs - it's you!
Your adverts are only 1 dimensional - meaning that that advert can only be purposed for that layout and that size and isn't that flexible to work with.
If you use CMYK in Photoshop, and use 100% black that would be better for Newspapers.
Newspapers have a lower ink limit because it's a pourous paper, meaning the more ink you use the longer it takes to dry, or possibly smudge as there isn't enough soakage in the paper to absorb all the ink.
300 PPI images in JPEG possibly cause the ink limit to be too high for newspapers. But I think that the newspapers would run your final files through a RIP to unsatuarte all the colours.
Use CMYK in PHotoshop - and use Text Layers, Vector Shapes, and Vector Masks. Be wary of Ink Limits.
Also - save the resulting file as a Photoshop Editable PDF - rather than JPG.
Your results will be much more pleasing.

InDesign has the ability to use Vector and Raster, and doesn't flatten everything into Raster like you see with a JPEG.
Ultimately, Illustrator would be best for creating the adverts, and place an .ai with pdf compatible file into InDesign.
But I create adverts in InDesign all the time - huge time saver. I only have repeat adverts etc. done in Illustrator.
One off adverts I do in InDesign.
On another note - Photoshop is not a page layout program - it's photo editing software - it should be used for editing photogrpahs - and other Bitmap images - but it shouldn't be used to layout adverts and such things.
2. Has anyone ever made full pages in Photoshop and then drag the resulting jpeg into InDesign - and what were the results
NEVER - Photoshop is not a Page Layout Tool - far more controls in InDesign or Illustrator for this sort of thing.
Photoshop is a photo editing software.
3. Has anyone ever done a newspaper/magazine page-by-page in Photoshop, saved each as PDF, then combined? What were the results?
I've seen it before - be prepared for a headache say if someone wants to take out a paragraph in a 20 page article, open all the articles and edit the page endings???
Madness - don't do it - it's not worth your while - InDesign is the Page Layout Tool
4. Does there exist there a quick-guide for InDesign whicch gives rules-of-thumb for printing on different paper qualities? For instance, I'm looking for general rules for newsprint layouts/designs - how big text must be, image size minimums, etc.?

Prints don't match screen

I have an HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-one printer and I am having trouble getting my printouts looking like what I see on my screen. At the moment I am trying to print a Comic Life comic but the problem is not limited to any one app. When I print the document, it looks slightly washed out and some of the colors are rather off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First, its impossible to get prints to match a native screen because the screen is RGB and printer CYMK and the gamuts are not an exact match and reflected prints have less contrast than a glowing screen. What the process of color management does is translate the the colors in the RGB document into the nearest equivalent the printer can print. Applications like Photoshop include a soft proofing function which allows a printer profile to be applied to the screen image to simulate, to the extent possible on screen how the print will differ from the screen. There is an "out of gamut" warning to show which colors in the screen image exceed the color gamut the printer can produce. Critical editing should be done in soft proofing mode and on the basis of what you see in test prints.
When you let the printer manage color it takes the image working space you selected in Photoshop and converts the color values to the closest the printer can reproduce most of the colors C+M ink can't reproduce the rich saturated colors R+B on screen can so you'll always see shifts in saturated blues and purples. The matching of file to print is controlled by the ink / paper profile you select in the print dialog. That tells the printer driver what profile to apply when doing the translations.
When you tell Photoshop or another application to manage colors the printer must be told not to manage color. If you don't do that the translation gets done twice, first by Photoshop then a second time by the printer. That's what is happening if you select Photoshop manages color and a ink/paper profile. If you select "photoshop manages color" and your working space profile (e.g., sRGB) it works because the printer is getting the same thing it would when it manages color.
Leopard changed most of the printer drivers. The change isn't apparent because most of the drivers where built-into both Tiger and Leopard. But what I discovered is that the new Leopard driver eliminated my ability to turn off the printer driver for my HP9760 when printing from CD3 and other applications. I can still print OK using by letting the printer manage color, but it would prevent the use of any custom profiles created for non-HP papers.

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Payments and Bills don't match

Hi,
the activation fee for my verizon double play bundle was supposed to be split in three parts. I have made the three respective payments as shown in the payment history.
However, under Bill & Payment, I can only find two bills and the third is still due including the third activation fee payment.
Could you please elaborate why these bills don't match my payment history?
