Making prints with photoshop elements

I have Photoshop Elements 7 & 11, each on a different computer.  When I go to make prints on my Epson 2400 from either program,  my prints come out substantially darker than they appears on the monitors.  What I doing wrong or... not doing ? BTW,  I do use ICC's and let photoshop handle the color management.  Any thoughts???
Thanks,
Amos

Suggest that you calibrate your monitor. Most likely, it is too bright.

  • Problem with Photoshop Elements Printing

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for a couple of years now and know it pretty well.  Today while attempting to print, a strange problem came up:  After going through the protocol to make a print, just before the image prints PE does a very fast auto correction that basically ruins all the color correction I have made on the image.  How do I disable this function?

    Hi and thanks for your reply. I checked the settings under "Print", "More Options", then "Color Management" and it only has "Print Space", none of the three options that you said I should have.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

      Check your color management by clicking More Options in the print dialog There are basically three options:1) Printer Manages Color2) Elements Manages color3) No color Management Make sure everything is consistent e.g. if you choose Elements manages color make sure color management is switched off in the print driver.

  • How can I obtain a version of Print Studio Pro that works with Photoshop Elements 13 (64 bit)?

    How can I obtain a version of Print Studio Pro that works with Photoshop Elements 13 (64 bit)?  The advertising refers to Print Studio Pro 2 but all I find available to download is version 1.35.

    Thanks - I did notice that the 2 was a superscript on one site but on another (I think the one for the Pro-10 printer) it was definitely a 2 in line with the rest of the text and separated by a space (at least on my browser).  At any rate, I suspected something of the kind and will simply use Photoshop Elements 11 when I want a pattern print until the change is made.
    If you have an inside line to Canon you might also suggest some changes to their Image Garden program, specifically its handling of DVD label projects.  It has several themes and within each theme several layouts.  As far as they go these are fine but they do not give nearly enough flexibility.   The boxes for insertion of images are useful as is the simple procedure for rescaling the image so it is cropped in varying ways while staying within the fixed box.  However, it should be possible (a) to relocate the boxes on the page and (b) to resize and reshape the boxes - probably by a control which would become available by right-clicking on the box.  For example, there are times when the user might want to include a full 16 x 9 frame shot as one of the images, and in general the aspect ratios of the provided boxes do not permit this.
    I have over the years preferred to use Word for this purpose after setting up masks to expose just the printable area of the DVD or Blu-ray disc, setting up the margins so that the center of the disc is in the horizontal center of the page, and finally introducing text and pictures and adjusting the font size of blank lines above the disc to line everything up properly in the vertical direction.  A typical layout might involve one large picture, located so the center hole and the curved outer edge do not block anything important, or two pictures side by side, or four pictures centered vertically (to minimize the effect of the outer edge of the disc) but possibly of different widths (so as to make both close-ups and wide scenes optimal on the same disc label).  The text then goes above and below the pictures.  All of this works perfectly so I probably wouldn't use Image Garden very often for this purpose, but the inability to resize and relocate the boxes must be very limiting for others as well. 
    Some of the layouts have image locations severely reduced by the edge of the disc.
    As I said ... if you have an inside line to Canon .. but if not, please excuse the length of this post!

  • I have Mac os10 yosemite and with photoshop elements 13 I cannot get a menu from Print to change the type of paper.  Where is that menu  The one that comes up only alows for paper size not type

    After clicking print the menu that comes up does not allow for a change in paper type.  Where can I change the paper type. OS 10.10 Yosemite with Photoshop Elements 13.  I have a windows computer with the same program and the print menu has a paper settings option but not on the the mac.  What gives.  Is the Elements 13 not compatible with the OS 10 Yosemite?  Thanks for any help

    If you delete all the Adobe Reader stuff it will probably fix this. For almost everything, the Apple pdf handling works better.

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • Saved printer information is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11

    Hello - After successfully using PSE11 to print photos on my Epson Artisan 810 printer, the printer died and was replaced with an Epson Artisan 837 printer.  The new printer works on ALL of my other applications EXCEPT I receive the following error message after hitting 'print' on Photoshop Elements 11.
    MESSAGE:
    The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available.  You will need to check your printer settings before printing.
    You can see from the screen print attached that the Epson Artisan 837 is a validly installed printer.  All advanced settings were available for selection/modification, and all printer drivers are up to date.  Also, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer without resolution of the problem.
    Can anyone please point me in the right direction to resolve this issue?
    Thanks so much, Debbie
    Running:
    Windows XP sp3 (up to date)

    You did indeed lead down the correct path with only a little modification required in the naming (see below).  Thank you so very much!! 
    Here's what I had to do to get this to work:
    1 - I first tried to rename this printer to a generic 'DSLW Printer'.  This renaming worked for ALL OTHER applications except Photoshop Elements 11 even after rebooting my PC.  Received the identical error message listed in the original message.
    2 - I then renamed the printer as 'EPSON Artisan 810 Series'.  This was of course a lie but matched the printer as named by the 2010 original Artisan 810 installation.  VOILA!  This does work for Photoshop Elements 11 (jpg and psd files tested) and the other applications that I've tested.  Hopefully all other testing will provide equally successful results.
    So problem seems to be resolved BUT is this a question/problem that I should pursue with either Adobe or Epson?  I do know that the 810 and 837 only differ in the ability to print from a wider variety of wireless devices (e.g. cell phones & tablets), otherwise the functionality is virtually identical.  Did Epson drop the ball or did Adobe?  Or maybe it's simply that I'm a die hard XP sp3 (32 bit) user until forced out by Microsoft.
    Thanks again!!

  • Trouble with Photoshop Elements 8

    Every time that I print a photo using Photoshop Elements 8, the photo show vertical lines and the colors are awful. I cannot print a photo using Photoshop Elements 8. I checked the printer and has no any problem. I print all my photos using Windows Photo Viewer. I have no idea what's happening with Photoshop Elements 8. Can anybody help me with this problem?
    Thanking you in advance for any help.

    Celentano I am sorry but what is the exact error you are receiving when trying to install Photoshop Elements 8?  Also which operating system are you installing it on?

  • Help with Photoshop Elements, I'm new to it?

    So I'm just fiddling around with Photoshop Elements, and I have a picture of a crocodile that I'm trying to turn blue, so I'm using the Smart Brush and Blue Sky effect to change his skin colour.
    Firstly, is there an easier way to change the colour of something that I'm missing?
    Secondly, how do I control the Smart Brush precisely? The thing is his body is about the same colour as the water so when the brush gets to a certain point the entire image turns blue.
    So how do I select the crocodile but not the water?
    Thirdly, the brush. I can draw with the brush, but then I get the "wait" symbol and my changes vanish. How do I stop this?
    Thanks for replies, and I'm sorry for my noobishness, I just got Photoshop Elements yesterday.

    You can make the brush cursor larger & smaller with the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard. This affords more control in making the selection.
    Use of the Smart brush tool is probably the easiest way to colorize an object. The tool has a buit-in mask. If you look on the Layers palette (Window>tick layer), the black and white rectangle represents the mask.
    Left click on the mask, then access the brush tool (the ordinary brush B) and with a black brush paint over the area where the blue spilled over to the water. If you go too far, paint with a white brush to correct.

  • What a disgrace Adobe with Photoshop Elements 13

    I brought Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 trusting the garbage Adobe went on about it only to find you go and install it and it won't get pass Payloads Adobe Elements 13 Organizer it just fails as a small business I ended up trying to install it on 4 different computer using Windows 8 and 8.1 64 bit and nope the same thing happens I even trying installing the 32 bit program same thing you can not get pass Payloads Adobe Elements 13 Organizer as far as customer support it appears there is none you can't contact anyone at Adobe to get you money back they just don't care. I have gone back to using my old version Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 it works and no issues. I recommend no one buys Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 until Adobe fixes the issues and most of all provide the customers proper support. I wont my money back for a software program that is useless and I can't use. They say you have 90 days from time of purchase to request a refund well what a pack of lies that is as you CAN NOT GET ONTO ANYONE AT ADOBE if you do get on  to some one they will tell you your 90 days has expired this is that they think of there customers world wide.
    I'd rate Adobe 0 = for the program and I'd rate their customer service 0 and never buy another product from them.

    I agree with you about the lack of customer support. I was able to install it with no problems but when I wanted to print to one of my printers I had a lot of problems. I can only print to one of the printers and it won't print correctly. I contacted Support and chatted with one of the people. I was told that only the forums take care of Photoshop Elements. I also wish that I had stayed with Photoshop Elements 11. After installing 13 the printer issues are in my photoshop elements 11 program. I certainly would not recommend anyone purchasing an Adobe product because of the lack of support.

  • Love / Hate Relationship with Photoshop Elements

    I am having a love/hate relationship with Photoshop Elements!  Love the page design capabilities and hate the lack of capability on the print end.  Kodak does not give any choice in the book they will print from Elements.  All I can get is a #$%& die cut cover!  Is there anyway that I can order other options that I know Kodak has available when creating a book using Elements and their site.  I want to be able to choose a custom cover!  I have tried Kodak to get answers.  I have tried Adobe (impossible, unless maybe you pay).  Neither are very helpful!  The only answers I get are use the Elements designed pages and place them onto pages that you create in their software.  Problem is that one needs a jpeg file to do this.  No online program seems to recognize .PSD or .PSE file types.   HELP!
    Bob, Barbara you both seem to be very knowledgable...any ideas...
    Anyone with any help can answer here or [email protected]
    Terry

    Terry:
    Yeah, the photobook print options are limited. (Although, the built in Kodak and Shutterfly books are very nice)
    One thing to try differently is to use the Print At Home selection on that first screen after the clicking on the PhotoBook option (assuming you are using PSE8 here) (use Photo Collage with PSE7)
    Down that path, you will get a few more choices in page size. It will still create a multi-page document (a .pse) while your building your book, and when done, you can print the pages of the book out as a .pdf. Many book printing services will take in a PDF.
    Another option is to do a single page at a time and save them as .jpg's. A little more work in keeping your various files together and ordered properly, but it would give you ultimate flexibility.

  • Printing in Photoshop Elements 10

    When printing in Photoshop Elements 10 with 'Centre Image' checked, the printed result is not centred top to bottom, 3.5mm off centre, this causes problems when printing both sides of the sheet 'Tumble-Turn'
    The ptinter is a Canon Pixma MG6150. Any Ideas???
    John C,  Essex UK

    Are the graphics for each side cropped to the same size prior to sending to the printer, and is the resolution of each the same value?
    Have you tried printing from another application?
    Do you have the latest drivers installed for the printer?

  • Any idea why I can't print using Photoshop Elements 13 and an HP Color Laser Jet printer?

    Windows 7 with Photoshop Elements 13 - Recently purchased Elements 13 and haven't been able to print!  I have an HP Color Laser Jet CMI1312nfi MFP and printed fine last year with a trial version of Elements 12.  I keep getting errors saying "the saved print information is an incompatible version.  It has been set to default values" as well as "default printer could not be opened."  I downloaded an update to the driver for the printer today but still no luck.   Any other ideas? 

    I ended up reinstalling the drivers for the Canon from the original CD and that took care of it. Normally I can just copy the PPDs for our particular printers to the PPD folder in the Library/Printers/PPDs folder and it works fine, but for some reason this machine decided it needed everything reinstalled. It's working now.

  • My printer takes forever to print from photoshop elements 9

    my printertakes forever to print from photoshop elements 9 then when it prits the crop is wrong, lots of noise or distortion. It only does this in adobe photoshop elements 9.

    Yes it is different from what I see in print preview. I have been saving the file and picking it up in windows to print its so much faster and predictable. It takes forever to print from p-e. I read somewhere the printer needs to be calibrated for color but shouldn't have anything to do with crop or printing speed' Thanks

  • Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.

    Be grateful for your help with Photoshop Elements which I have been using for several years.  Does Elements need to have access to ‘My Pictures’ on Windows as when I remove Photos from ‘My Pictures’, Elements later, when backing up, gives a message that it is unable to ‘reconnect’ to the same picture on elements.  On other occasions when removing a photo from Elements catalogue I also get a similar message when backing up saying ‘unable to reconnect’.  1. Is there a relationship between Elements and My Pictures and is Elements dependant on    the Windows ‘My Pictures’? 2. Why does some photos in Elements in some cases cause them to multiply e.g. double; triple; quadruple; and on occasions even more?  Is there something I need to do to stop this or an easy way I can remove the multiples without spending hours doing it manually one by one?  Am I doing something wrong? My O/S is Windows XP SP2 and windows Vista on my Laptop.  I have been using Elements 5 and have just purchased Photoshop Elements 8.0. (Upgrade) and about to install it. Be grateful for any advice as I do enjoy using the program if only I can resolve this issue.  I am not a PC wiz and mainly use Elements to catalogue photos from which I compile collections and from them slide shows with music.  Any advice appreciated Sonny.t PS Have tried to post this previously but without success so hoping to see message appear and a +response

    The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.
