Lighter print out of photos using Photoshop Elements 10 and Windows 7?

When I print directly from Elements 10, my photos come out much darker than when I print directly from my computer on Windows 7??
Is there a MAIN adjustment (not each photo) in the program which lightens all print-outs?  My printer is fine.  It copies photos properly and prints out from Windows (My Pictures) properly.

Donna,
While you read up on color management (!!!), you may want to check the following:
Reduce the brightness of your computer screen. The default setting may be sub-optimal.
In Elements, go to Edit>color settings, and tick the option to optimize for computer screens
In Elements, open a picture, then go to File>print. Look for "More options", go to the color management tab, and under color handling drop-down, select "printer manages colors"
Suggest that you print from Editor, not from Organizer.

  • Sending photos using Photoshop Elements 12 and Windows 8?

    I did everything according to the instructions, defined e-mail address, got the code and confirmation of the adress, but still when I try to send meile in the end there is symbol that the computer is trying to perform this task, but the minutes passes by, and nothing changes. I have spend a lot of time trying to fix it - with no success. I use Windows 8 and Microsoft OutLook. I have no problems sending other thing. I also have Mozzilla Thunderbird om my computer, but it is synchronised to OutLook (can use both of them, whichever I want).
    I bought Photoshop Elements 12 to send and edit photos. I'm close to that to give up this product, despite the fact that the rest of his functions as a judge very successful. It's great that there is a possibility to get a refund of the purchase of this product for 30 days from the purchase over the internet.
    Please, help me.

  • Pictures print out dark when using Photoshop Elements

    I am using Photoshop Elements 6.   I pull my pictures up and they look beautiful on the monitor.  However when I print them out they come out much darker.  Has anyone else had this problem.  I even got a new printer because I was told it was probably the problem.  Still have the same issue.

  • When I external edit an aperture photo using Photoshop Elements 9 and then get out, the changes are not reflected in Aperture when I return - this used to work for me but doesn't seem to have for some time - help please?

    Have used Aperture for some time - at some point this stopped working - not sure when
    workflow:
    click photo and elect to use the external editor (Photoshop Elements 9)
    Copy of the photo is created in Aperture with the "O" badge and I am rolled out to Photoshop
    Have to change the type to 8-bit in Photoshop to start making changes
    When done and I exit I am prompted to save the photo
    On returning to Aperture however the "O" badged photo does not get updated/reflect my changes
    Other Things:
    I can find a changed photo sitting in the Aperture Library using finder or Photoshop itself - so I know changes have been made a new file saved (TIFF).
    I am wondering if I am missing some (new) preference such that the changes are not proerly being saved for re-display/storage in the Aperture Library
    I am running Lion OSX at the moment but the behaviour was the same under Snow Lepoard versions.
    Current version of Aperture is 3.1.3, Elements is 9.0
    Any help/suggestions greatfully received

    Try using psd.  Some rerports indicate some confustion between the apps with TIFF.  See:

    I cannot confirm, nor test, since I use PS CS5, and not Elements.

  • Using Photoshop elements 13 and windows 8.1. After one week, Photoshop elements photo editor will nit load. This occurred after I scanned in some large files. Is there a connection?

    Not only will photo editor not load from organizer@@@@, it wont load at all on my computer. What happened? more importantly how do I fix it?

    I've got things working now.  The process I followed was:
    1. Reboot in safe mode
    2. Run Photoshop elements.  It worked in safe mode.
    3. Unplug the network cable
    4. Restart in normal mode
    5. Run Photoshop elements.  It worked with the cable unplugged.
    6. Exit out of Photoshop
    7. Plug in the network cable
    8. Now Photoshop seems to start up normally.
    It seemed to me that the problem had something to do with license validation.  In safe mode there's no network connection, which might disrupt validation.  When I left out steps 3, 4 and 5, it still didn't work.  After doing that once, it seems to work.  If it stops working, I'll post another reply here.
    YMMV.

I have put P'shop 10 as the preferred editor... but when I click on the photo in iPhoto the Adobe p'shop 10 program opens BUT the picture does not open for editing. What the heck... I did fine with the old iPhoto and "Shop elements 6... .

    Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

    This is the Premiere Elements (video editing) Forum at Adobe that you have posted in.
    Did you attempt to post in your question in the Photoshop Elements at Adobe since you are asking about Photoshop Elements 9 and not any version of Premiere Elements.
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
    Nonetheless, please check out the following Adobe FAQ about Adobe IDs to see if anything in it is helpful to resolving your question before you repost your question in the Photoshop Elements Forum at Adobe or a moderator sees your question here and moves it there.

    Have you gone through the Adobe document on what is required in the transfer Adobe product license?
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/transfer-product-license.html
    If you have gone through the above, then you may want to find out if the program was deactivated prior to you receiving it. A given serial number cannot be on any more than 2 computers of the owner recognized by Adobe.
    What is the reason given you for "it wont allow me to add a new Adobe ID" when you try to put in your ID and password?

  • Where do I find a tutorial on how to use photoshop elements 11 and premier elements 11?

    Where do I find a tutorial on how to use photoshop elements 11 and premier elements 11?

    The tutorial courses that got me going were on lynda.com.   Both the PE and PrE courses are taught by instructors that know the software and how to teach on line. 
    The difference between random turtorials and a course is organization.  A course has a beginning, or foundation and builds skills one at a time.  Random tutorials like on Adobe TV or YouTube can be very good but they don't have the sequential skill building process.
    Many of the Adobe TV tutorials are chapters provided by lynda.com as part of their marketing program.  If you like them, you can pay the $25 a month for the full course work.
