CS5 and Lightroom 3 printing differently

I have recently upgraded Lightroom to v3.0 and took advantage,at the same time, to upgrade my CS3 to CS5.
I printed something from CS5 and was very dissapointed in the result.  The printed result was much too dark.  I recalibrated my printer, using Spyder3 print, for the printer/ink/paper combination I was using.  I reprinted with the same results (much too dark).  I have set CS5 to manage colour and selected the newly created profile and switched colour management off in the printer driver (Epson R2400).
I then tried printing the same image from within Lightroom 3.  I set the profile to the same as used in CS5 and set colour management off in the printer driver.  In both cases the rendering intent was set to Relative.  This printed almost perfectly.  Perhaps a little darker than on-screen but the colour rendering was fine.
To give you an idea as to how different the results are I took a picture of the screen with LR3 and CS5 showing the same image and with their respective prints propped below.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Regards,
Norman

I have the same problem with CS5, but I don't have LR to compare it to. CS5 prints are much darker than displayed on monitor. Photoshop manages colors. Epson R1400. Monitor calibrated with Pantone Huey. Colors are accurate - just darker than screen. My everyday Canon MP640 shows same results, so I suspect the problem is tied to the display. Any hints?

  • Nvidia Quadro 600, GeForce GTX 560 Ti or cheaper for Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3?

    Hello,
    I am a professional photographer and I am setting up a new PC (i7, Windows 7 64bit). But I have some troubles to choose the graphic card.
    I use Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 3, no video editing.
    Between the Open GL, Open CL, CUDA accelerations etc ... professional graphic cards models and consumer ones I am lost!
    The Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti seems more powerful and more versatile but I tell myself that if Nvidia has professional range there must be a reason.
    So in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 what would be the best: GeForce GTX 560 Ti or Nvidia Quadro 600?
    http://www.geforce.com/Hardware/GPUs/geforce-gtx-560ti/specifications
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-600-us.html
    Any reason to get a Quadro 2000?
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-2000-us.html
    Or the graphic card doesn’t matter much and I should take an entry-level GeForce to enjoy the HDMI and the silence? Which one then?
    Does the Quadro 600 manages 10bits display 10bits? And the Geforce?
    Any change announced with Photoshop CS6 and Ligthroom4?
    The only 3D application I use is Google Earth in 3D mode, does it make any difference?
    Thank you for your help.

    You say "no video editing"...  If that's going to be the case, and you won't use the Mercury engine in the Adobe Premiere Pro package, which needs the nVidia Cuda subsystem, then I recommend you consider the ATI brand over nVidia.
    Why?
    Because while neither brand's developers (ATI or nVidia) always release perfect drivers, I find ATI display drivers to be of consistently higher quality than that of nVidia releases.  What this means to you is generally fewer crashes or quirks.  ATI has also traditionally supported older cards into the future better than nVidia - this might matter to you in a few years.
    People ask me what video card I would recommend, and right now that would be a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 card.  I like this particular card because:
    I've had 100% success with VisionTek cards in a number of different systems, not only initially but they have all run as long as I have used them, without ever breaking down.
    The 6670 model uses very little power (under 70 watts) and as such doesn't stress your computer's power supply, need a separate power connection, nor make a lot of fan noise. 
    It's not the fastest card made for 3D gaming, but it's inexpensive and excellent for Photoshop.  No matter what you choose, you should get a card that scores over 500 on the Passmark GPU benchmark, ideally over 1000:  http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
    The ATI Catalyst display driver implementations for the 4670/5670/6670 line of cards have been good and solid.
    1 GB of on-card memory seems to be a good size, even for editing a lot of images, and GDDR5 memory provides faster access than DDR3.
    You should know that besides using Photoshop heavily, I also develop OpenGL-based software as well, so I have some additional insight into driver implementations.

  • Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files.

    Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files?

    Read this table http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The Olympus Stylus 1 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.
    It is not compatible with CS5 or older and never will be.
    If you do not want to upgrade to CS6 or CC then you can dwonload the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Stylus 1 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5.

  • I bought the photoshop cs2 cs3 cs5 and lightroom and lightroom 4. i can't install on may new macbookpro 13inch?

    i bought the photoshop cs2 cs3 cs5 and lightroom and lightroom 4. i can't install on may new macbookpro 13inch?

    On which operating system are you trying to install these Adobe apps?
    Please specify the operating system name and version.
    If you have purchased new Macbook Pro, then you should have atleast Mac OSX 10.9 or later. However, i doubt you will be able to install most of these apps on it as they are pretty old apps except CS5 & Lr4.
    Still you can give it a shot and check.
    What happens when you try to install them?
    Do you get any error message? An error screenshot or full text of the error, should be helpful.

  • Which iMac for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom

    Any opinions on which iMac is best for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. Not sure if the 2.7 i5 with 512 graphics card is Plenty of power or if upgrading to the 3.1 i5 or 3.4 i7 is a wiser choice given the price differences. Appreciate the help

    So I was reading over your post, and even though this is older and has to do with CS5, I have some information for CS6 that will be relevant to your question now that it is time to upgade the software. In general Photoshop has always been more about RAM than Processing power, though that is important too. Until CS5 it could never quite take advantage of what multi-core processors really had to offer, and even the graphics card didn't really effect much of it outside of certain features and the 3D optio
    Now that is no longer true and Adobe can effeciently use all aspects of the computer to give you much better performance.
    So much so that I was able to buy a brand New ASUS with the following specs:
    Dual Core 2.2GHz Processors
    8GB of RAM (4GB original to the machine)
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit OS
    320GB HDD w/ 5400RPM
    This machine not only runs photoshop CS6 and Launches in less than 5 Seconds... it can run Premier and After Effects as well, and this Laptop cost me less than $400 (on sale at Best Buy 2 Weeks Ago. You don't have to buy something this cheap, but isn't it great that you can and still run Master Collection effectively?
    You can read my details on how to buy a Photoshop CS6 Laptop, what specs you need, comparison between Mac and PC and watch the video of my Photoshop Speed Test by reading this article:

  • CS5 and Lightroom 5 re-activation.

    My friend Sari Ahonen asked me to contact you because of her computer (MacBook Pro) hard drive was destroyed and had to be replaced. On the hard drive of Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5. The hard disk was destroyed suddenly, so she did not have time to remove the programs activation. She has the same software also has an iMac computer, which they of course work. But how she is able to, they reactivate the laptop?

    Thanks

    The solution is fairly simple. If she doesn't have any record ( in email or with her copies of photoshop) she can call Customer service and they'll be able to give her her product key. After she re installs everything she will be good to go!

  • I must have my computer reimaged.  I have Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5.7.  How do I inform Adobe that I will be reloading these programs to the same computer?

    I must have my computer reimaged.  I have Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5.7.  How do I inform Adobe that I will be reloading these programs to the same computer?

    And to directly answer your question, you don’t inform Adobe, you merely deactivate PS, reimage, then reinstall and reactivate PS with the serial number(s), and relicense LR with the serial number(s).
    If this computer isn’t yours and you don’t have the serial numbers, yourself, then that could be a problem, although there may be software that can find the serial numbers.  On a PC platform, download and run the Belarc Security Advisor and see if it finds the serial numbers you need.  It’ll only find the current product serial numbers, not the prior versions that an upgrade might be based on, so then you’ll be stuck.

  • Suddenly Getting Green prints in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 2.6

    Photoshop CS5 12.0.1 x32, and Lightroom 2.6
    Windows XP SP 3
    Printer: Epson R1900, Software 6.61 (current)
    HP LJ2475W Monitor
    I have been running and printing from Photoshop since 5.0. I have had CS5 several months, and probably printed 20 or so pictures (matte, gloss, lustre, from 5x7 to A3). Last weekend, I just wanted to print a quick 5x7 of my wife at my daughter's wedding. The print looks fine in Photoshop, and in the Photoshop print preview, but when it gets to the Epson print preview, the colors are distorted and very green. This is the way it prints also.  I get the same results from multiple pictures includeing those I have printed with no issue before, and in Lightroom 2.6. The only thing I can print successfully is a PDF I constructed a few years back in Photoshop with a bar of each color and a black-to-white gradient (I use this to "exercise" the inks when I don't have something to print during a week).
    I worked with the technician from Epson last night, and it is not a problem with the printer. Using the WIndows Picture and Fax viewer, I was able to print the same picture (and several others) with no issues what so ever, and with all the correct colors. When printing, I used the same ICC file I was using in Photoshop.
    I have rebooted multiple times, I have downloaded the latest printer driver from Epson, along with the lastest ICC files that they supply, all with no results. Again, it prints fine outside of Photoshop CS5 (Lightroom 2.6 has the same issue), but has corrupted colors within Photoshop.. I have no clue what to adjust or change to get it to print correctly again.
    I have downloaded and installed the lateset Adobe patches when prompted to do so, as I do with the Micrsoft patches. Other than that, I haven't had any recent downloads. It was working correctly 2 weeks ago, the last time I printed (this is used almost exclusively for Photoshop and Proshow Producer).
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I don't want to have to be limited to other programs to print my photos.

    I think I'm seeing a trend of double (or multiple) color transformations here...
    SOMETHING, somewhere, is causing the inability to turn off ALL color management outside of Photoshop, so that one cannot use the "Photoshop Manages Colors" setting without getting multiple transformations.
    Has Windows itself perhaps added a color management stage somewhere in the mix?
    Has something changed that causes the Color Management: Off setting in the printer drivers to be ineffective, or more complex than just "on" or "off"?
    What do we know so far?
    With CS5, many people using Epson printers cannot get reasonable print colors unless they use the Printer Manages Colors setting in Photoshop.  I don't know what they're choosing in the printer drivers because I don't have an Epson.
    I personally have seen evidence of double profiling (magenta looking print) with my HP printer when Photoshop is set to Printer Manages Colors.  This is kind of the opposite problem from what people are reporting about Epsons.
    The ICM Method setting in my HP drivers has an entry entitled ICM Handled by Host System, which is SEPARATE from ICM Disabled.
    Given the above, a person could be forgiven for thinking there are more combinatorial choices than just these two:
    Photoshop Manages Colors and "ICM disabled in the printer / drivers"
    Printer Manages Colors and "ICM handled by the printer / drivers"
    What does the Epson printer driver color management selection look like?

  • Upgraded to CS5 and duplex landscape printing if way off

    Since upgrading to Indesign CS5 from actually CS2, I cannot get landscape duplex printing to align properly (centered as it is on screen). I have troubleshooted the Print Setup dialog box to death and nothing fixes this issue. I've tried Centered, Centered Vertically, Centered Horizontally, I've tried to scale down to fit, nothing works properly. I've gone through and checked the Printer... options as well and nothing seems amiss there either. Why would updating from a previous version mess with the printer alignment?
    I made a brand new 8.5x11 document with 2 pages with .25" margins all the way around which is my printer's smallest margin setting (Xerox 8560DN). I then simply drew a box around the entire document right along the margins on both sides.
    When I print it, the front side is shifted over to the left so it prints 5/32 of an inch from the edge and the right margin is 11/32 from the edge. The back side is a bit less shifted to left with 7/32 and 9/32 margins.
    I then tried printing a sheet that is in portrait mode and this comes a bit closer to with both sides off at the 7/32 and 9/32 margins.
    I really need help figuring this out. The document that I need printed has a perforation going down the center and is folded so these margin differences are really skewing the print outs.
    Thanks!
    Christi
    Update: I tried exporting it as a PDF and making sure Shrink to fit option was NOT selected and it still prints with the same issues. Darn, I was hoping that would solve it.

    I've been doing more troubleshooting since I wrote this post. I've now tried printing from a non-Adobe app and I'm getting the same margin error. So it is definitely a Xerox issue and I have a tech coming out on Monday.
    The reason I originally figured it must be an CS5 issue is because just two weeks ago when I was using CS2, our landscape-oriented programs were printing with .25" margins as they should. Then last week after upgrading to CS5, the inside page (2nd page) was noticeably out of whack and shifted to the right (not left). But when I started trying to troubleshoot this week, everything started shifting to the left.
    The only thing different between those two weeks was the fact I updated to CS5.
    But obviously, my printer as decided to go to crap in more ways than one all in a two week period. Hopefully the tech can sort it out next Monday.
    Thanks!

  • Using Photoshop CS4/CS5 and Lightroom 2/3 on Win 7 vs OSX

    I do NOT want to re-ignite the no-win discussion of pc vs mac. Now that CS5 is announced, yet again as I preprare to upgrade from CS4, I ask if I should convert fromWin7 64-bit on a PC to MAC Pro running OSX. I currently run a WIN 7 64-bit PC with 8 GB Ram. I would consider buying a MAC PRO with 8 GB RAM. The machine(s) are used strictly for image processing, no general office work or general internet surfing except as relates to supporting my software, etc. 
    I don't want to discuss PC vs MaC but I would like to understand the limits, advantages/disadvantages of one platform vs the other as specifically relates to CS4/CS5 and/or Lightroom 2/3. In other words are there functions or processes that I can do on one platform and not the other, or do better on one compared to the other, not does one cost more than the other any comments or help?? Mike

    As a casual user of CS products, I find no substantive differences between using them on a Mac vs. PC. I can cross post this question over to the Photoshop forum (originally posted to the Photoshop.com web site forum, which is not just about the desktop app).
    It's probably going to become a Mac vs. PC discussion, since the question is inherently 'which is better', but hopefully people will remain objective and constructive!

  • Prinitng issue with CS5 and Epson pro3800 printer

    CS5 will not hold printer driver settings after leaving driver setup screen. Eg., after setting ICM and choosing Adobe RGB color space and icc profile from menu, when you click OK, Adobe screen reverts to Photoshop adjusts colors and not printer adjust colors as it should. If you change the setting manually, when you renetr driver setup, it now shows 'no color management and not ICM as it should. This does not occur with CS3 or 4. Any help is appreciated.

    I don't have this problem but i can tell you printing out of CS5 is a mess nothing works the way it should....check out my forum i started... right now i just chucked cs5 and went back to cs3

  • Photoshop and Lightroom Images are Different - Much lower contrast

    When I export an image from either LR 3 or 4, or from Capture One, into Photoshop the images are very different.  Compared to the original image in LR/C1 the image in Photoshop has dramatically brighter shadows, and less contrast in general.
    Interstingly, if I make no adjustments in PS at all, and just save the file back to LR, the file looks like the original/correct image.
    It almost appears as if some sort of curves preset or other type of automated correction is being applied in PS.
    I don't think this is a color management issue - the monitor is calibrated with a ColorMunki, and the colorspaces in all programs are ProPhoto RGB. 
    This is happening in CS5 and 6, so it is likely some sort of setting that I inadvertantly created.
    I uninstalled CS5 completely, and re-installed CS6, and also did the Command/Option/Shift setting reset, but the issue remains.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Here is the Color Settings:
    Here is an image in LR
    and the same image in PS6 - look at the shadows on the left behind the rope

  • Photoshop cs5 and Lightroom 5

    I have Photoshop cs5 and have just bought Lightroom 5.  My Camera Raw plug-in is up to date to version 6.3.  I get a message once I try to edit into Photoshop cs5:  This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.3 for full compatibility.  I have used the update tool in Photoshop but still I get only version 6.3.  Can someone inform me what I need to do to get the plug-in 8.3?  Thank you.
