Lightroom 5 prints very poor compared to Photoshop CC

I have an Imac running Maverick and an Epson 3880. I have calibrated my monitor, my printer and my paper with a ColorMunki. I use ProPhoto for all apps. All settings the same in both PS and LR.
If I print an image in LR 5 and then export the same image to PS and print it (all settings the same), the PS image is almost spot on. The LR5 image is very bad, being much darker and bluer.
Can anyone help me with this? thanks.
Bill

This sounds like colour control issues.
From LR Print Module, with it ready to print, open the printer settings (from Page-Setup in the LR print module), then make sure that you printer is set to do NOT colour control. Note that this setting is (or can be) specific to each printing template.

Please help! Elements 11 image quality poor compared to LR

Hello, I just started using elements and am very irritated because the image quality is very poor compared to when i am viewing in LR. Its not the conversion - i have tried pulling directly from the camear. It looks great in Camera Raw 7.1 but the second i pull it into editor, it lines get jagged. Adobe help is telling me this is normal. Surely not?? Something about a halo around pixels? Image on left is Elements 11, right is Lightroom and Zoomed in so you can see how sharp it is. PLEASE help. im so frustrated!

In the pse 11 editor are you looking at the image at 100% view (actual pixels)?
(Other viewing percents can be misleading in the pse 11 editor)
Double click on the zoom tool in the tol box to get 100% view.
Also you should be on camera raw 7.4 available from Help>Updates within the pse 11 editor.
Is that lightroom 4.4?

Acrobat XI printing very slow

Hi,
Just upgraded to Acrobat XI v11.0.0.379 from v9 on a Windows 7 x64 system. I find the printing very slow compared to v9. I have a single page text PDF that I print regularly. Under v9, it takes 7-10 seconds to start the print. Under XI, it takes 6-7 minutes to print the same document. Anyone know why this is happening? BTW, I discovered if I set it to "print as image", it will print at about the same speed as v9.
Thanks for any help.

Very poor SMB share performance on 3TB time capsule.

Hi,
Is the SMB shares performance on time capsule suposed to be very poor compared to the AFP shares?
My TC will to around 9MB/s transfers using AFP, but on SMB it will do around 1.25MB/s (varies from a few KB/s to peaks of 4MB/s).
I tested both protocols using a ethernet cable connected from my macbook pro directly to the TC.
This is a 3TB time capsule runing firmware 7.6.1, and I did a factory reset before my tests.
Time machine backups were disabled during the tests.
I need SMB for my WDTV media players.

I would not say it is supposed to be.. but you are probably correct that it is very poor.. This issue crops up time and again,,, but not from people running Macs generally.. it is windows that is the problem.
A few things to check.
1. Are the names actually SMB correct?? ie short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric. Both TC name and wireless names if you use wireless.
2. Workgroup set correctly. ie WORKGROUP .. this probably doesn't come up with the Mac but affects most PC connections and possibly the WD TV
3. How old is the TC? If it is an early release Gen 4, you can take it back to 7.5.2 firmware.. frankly much of the trouble was introduced with Lion.. as they changed the SAMBA setup.. I would test from the WDTV.. or a PC.. if it doesn't glitch you are doing better than the Mac can do.. ie the reading in the Mac is pure Lion Lunacy.. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3206668?start=0&tstart=0
One of those apple changes that shows.. they hardly test anything anymore. Do a google search for Lion SMB fix.

CD Got Stuck and Got Very Poor Support for this issue

I Have a mac mini Intel Duo core. This is the second time My cd is getting Stuck.
First Time It was my mac OSX Recovery Disk. I inserted My disk and restarted the system before i got the cd loaded. The Cd Got Stuck. None of the standerd recovery procedures worked. I called up support and took the system to apple care solution They took a day to take it out.
This Time I Inserted an audio cd during Screen saver mode (Forrest Screen Saver) and when resumed to work I found out the CD was not recognised. I have Installed the eject shortcut on the top right menu bar. When i clicked eject after a long wait Nothing happend. The Drive was listed in Utilities> Disk Utility But I was not able to Eject. When I restarted by clicking the mouse button also nothing worked. Once I have restarted I have No drives Listed.
By Callon Customer Support I tried all trouble shooting steps again. Now I will Have to take my mac mini back to service it mak take a day to fix it.
I think cd gets stuck then we insert the cd in screen saver mode or insert it and restart before cd is recognised. Can Some one try out these scenaios and tell me whether my diag is right?
reg Apple support It is very poor (Compared to this dell has very good support. The are having their tech ppl coming home with all possible replasement components that might have gorn wrong trouble shoot fix the issue do replacements and leave the place compared to this apple care is just very poor ). One has to carry his mini to authorised service every time this occurs and wait untill the support ppl ejects it for me (This gives me no Option other than handing over my pc and wait without one for a day). The slot drive does not have a manual eject hole accessable to end user (Thats a cool design flaw).
In short Apple Service is very poor all arround the world
Mac Mini (Intel) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Siva,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You just happened to have gotten some bad support by fluke. On the whole Apple's support is rated better than Dell worldwide:
http://forums.maccentral.com/wwwthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=general&Number=6 18987
There are a couple articles which I recommend reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106752
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58641
The latter article may not explain directly why your last couple of disks failed to eject, but if you used a non-standard disk, or one that had an adhesive label on it which suddenly got into the drive, it might have affected the ability of the drive to eject properly.
Yes occasionally you do get bad support, and occasionally a repair is flawed, but that's why when you call AppleCare and you have a problem with a repair, I recommend you speak to customer relations. They'll set you right.

Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom print discrepancies

Hello,
I am having an issue with printing from Lightroom. I have a profile for my printer/driver/inkset that I have used successfully with Photoshop. When I print an image in Lightroom with the "profile manages" using this profile with the same driver, the image is dark. the exact same image exported from Lightroom to Photoshop prints beautifully with the same driver/paper/inkset.
I have double and triple-checked my driver and lightroom print settings but cannot find anything that appears out of whack. I use a saved pre-set to ensure that my printer driver settings are identical each time.
Does anyone have any ideas?
thank you,
George Pappas

Thanks for the additional information, Andre. Your symptions seem to point to the same underlying cause of the problem that I have experienced even though your particulars are different.
I have been quiet on this issue becuase I have been involved in a "deep dive" through the problem with Adobe Technical support and by trying to make sense of the other causes/effects/workarounds found by members of the Lightroom and other forums. For now, I do not have a solution yet, but hope to have more tangible information and a solution to post within a couple of weeks.
I have been through four tech support interactions with Adobe and one from Canon. Unfortunately, these calls were less than satisfactory. While the people on the phone were nice, there very unhelpful and primarily engaged in "pass the buck" behavior by claiming the problem was somewhere else. The last support call with Adobe lasted 40 minutes with a very nice fellow who gave me USELESS feedback and directed me to a knowledgebase article that had nothing to do with my real problem.
Let me be clear, I am a 20+ year software industry veteran and understand the complexities of this stuff. It is obvious that Adobe and Canon cannot put fully qualifed (and expensive) people on the first point-of-contact for support issues. However, they should have a reasonable escalation procedure that routes a problem of appropriate complexity to a highly qualifed person after a reasonable number of support attempts are unsuccessful in solving the issue. So far, this has not happened and is very frustrating to me.
Here is what I know of the underlying cause of the issue thus far. It appears to be caused by the interaction between Lightroom, the operating system's color management, and the printer driver. In essence, each of us are getting prints that are "double" or "triple" color managed even though we are trying to select one color managment workflow for our output.
Photoshop/InDesign and other adobe applications use their own color management engine called ACE. Lightroom does things differently and uses the computer's operating system CM functions. I believe this why my prints continue to look good when printed out of Photoshop yet look lousy (too dark) when printed from Lightroom. Lightroom is making assumptions when it sends a print data stream to a printer driver that doesn't yield the same result becuase each operating system performs color management tasks somewhat differently and print drivers from Canon/Epson/HP also do not use the operating systems CM functions the same way. For Mac users, if you add the printing engine architecture change from of Mac O/S 10.4 to Mac O/S 10.5 you throw an additional level of change into the equation which is not helpful.
So, where does that leave all of us who have this problem? I believe that for a given print driver/profile/operating system, Adobe will need to provide us with a workaround that will result in quality prints. To do this means that someone in Adobe who has the knowledge has to put together a specific recipe of options that work for the major printer manufacturers/OS's/printers. The long run solution will, unfortunately, occur over time as Adobe modifies how Lightroom makes certain assumptions when it sends print data streams to printer drivers and printer manufacturers will update their printer drivers to be more bulletproof regarding operating system color managment differences.
Sorry for the long-winded message. Unfortunately, this is one of those seemingly simple problems that has a lot of underlying complexity and does not yield a "one size fits all" solution. I will keep this group updated on what I learn as I work with Adobe.
Best,
George

No Print To File option in Photoshop Lightroom (Mac OS and Windows)

Q - Where do I find the "Print To File" option in Photoshop Lightroom (Mac OS and Windows)?
A - Photoshop Lightroom does not have the ability to print to file, but some print drivers can access the ability of the operating system to print to file. See
TechNote for further information.

If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

Macbook Pro 11,2 tests very poor WiFi performance compared to iPad

Configuration:
MBP 11,2 running 10.10.1
Airport Express 2014 vintage
WiFi Scanner.app speed test results on MBP range from 1 to 3 Mbps. My iPad Air (or iPad Mini) in the same physical position tests between 18 and 28 Mbps. WiFi Scanner.app shows SNR of 17 to 18 dbm.
The reason I am testing is because I have noticed network performance on the new MBP to be very poor in our current NZ location. In Palo Alto 2 weeks ago the MBP wifi seemed fine - I didn't bother to test.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hello .Sup,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Very poor print quality when printing out photos.

I used an IPhone 4S and no matter what quality of paper I used the photo came out indistinct andof very poor quality. I am using brand new HP inks.

Hi,
Just a question: do you know what is the quality (resolution) of the photo on your phone ?
Regards.

My iphone5s continually drops calls and has very poor sound for callers sooo disappointed compared with iPhone 4 from which I've just upgrade

I am so disappointed as my iPhone 5 s is very poor for calls and repeatedly drops calls. I've contacted Orange and done a reset to factory settings with no improvement.These calls are to landlines. My iphone4 was excellent in comparison . I've requested an Apple support call tomorrow - any other suggestions or similar experiences? Call bars are much lower too on this new phone and wifi fails too with frequent fail to connect to server messages. I so regret having this phone..

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

Thumbnail images are very poor, is there a way to improve them ?

I've just started using Lightroom 5, and right after importing them I noticed the images are of very poor quality. If I try and blow them up bigger using the slider they get even worse.
I've used Bridge in Photoshop to do this before and the images look great, so I can quickly look at them and sort the good from the bad.
I can't do this in Lightroom with the quality of the image thumbnails. So how do you make the thumbnails better?
Also does the camera MP size determine what the thumbnails look like? In other words If I used an 8MP camera, would the thumbnails look as good as they would coming from a 20MP camera?

And what type of previews are you creating during import (in the Build Previews section of the File Handling panel of the import dialog)?

Import Previews are very poor/pixelated ... D90 RAW

When I am importing my NEF files from my D90 with a card reader, my import previews are of a very poor image quality. Once the images are imported, previews look great.
Is there any way to improve the quality of import previews from the SD card?

Well Kevin, did you take look to the Aperture tutorials like this http://www.apple.com/de/aperture/tutorials/#organizeimport-importbasics ?
I am using a Nikon D100 and since few Weeks a D300 too and I do not have such trouble with the previews as you describe. Well, I do ever take a look to each image at full screen size and zoom it in to 100 % of size before I delete a photo. Thats can not be done in the simple preview window at import.
Yes, Adobe Lightroom has partly some advantages over Aperture, but what I ever saw and tried out with Lightroom - for me - only the printing capabilities are the one, of which Aperture has to pass.
I do have now over 15 thousend of photos in my Aperture library and do not want to switch over to Lightroom because of better printing features. If you like to switch over, do it - there is no reason to stay on with Aperture. Except you are using many of Apple Apps.
I use iMovie 09 and Final Cut Express for creating slide shows of my photos, more seldom I use iPhoto for this. I do a lot of lay out work with Pages, use iWeb for some of my sites and so on. Within all of them I use without any pain the photobrowser with photos from my Aperture library. That can not be done with Lightroom, for example.

Lightroom print issues with Espon Stylus Pro 4900

I'm having a weird issue with my StylusPro 4900 + Mavericks/Lightroom
My prints keep coming out 1/3rd their normal size.
I spent the day troubleshooting and no luck
Using LR4 ad now CC LR + Installed all the updates.
Uninstalled old the old drivers and reinstalled new.
Restarted several times.
Cleaned up the OSX stuff and more .
I have been using Epson's for over 10 years but have never run into an issue like this.
I'd appreciate any ideas or help!

Not hearing back about the details of your "success" with the Epson driver install, I can only assume that it really does not work correctly - as is the case with everyone else I've read about trying to use the 2200 under Snow Leopard.
The only work arounds are two, and neither is satisfactory:
1. You can turn off Color management in the first photoshop print dialog and then select the color managed option in the second - this defaults to the printer's drivers instead of using those in photoshop. The result is not right - the colors and brightness are noticeably off - but it is "less unbearably horrible" than what you get if you try to print with the correct workflow: Photoshop manages colors in the first dialog and No color management selected in the second.
2. There is a Gutenberg driver for the 2200 that theoretically could let you print without the Epson printer drivers. However, I have yet to encounter anyone who has gotten this to work properly so that it duplicates the color results formerly achieved with the Epson driver and photoshop managing colors under the earlier versions of the OS.
This is not a good thing. Many of us who rely on the Epson 2200 are not suddenly and without warning and with no word whatsoever from Epson... just plain SOL...
Epson should at least say something about this. Their statement could be "we will not support this printer under Snow Leopard" (terrible policy, but at least we could all go out and shop for new HP color printers...), "we are updating drivers for this (these?) printer(s) and will have them available shortly," or even "we are looking into this problem and will respond shortly."
Right now the silence is deafening. There isn't anything at the Epson site addressing this issue at all, and there is no way to follow up on it from the page addressing Snow Leopard compatibility.
Poor show, Epson.
