May i know the right photoshop cs6 color settings to print black and white?

hi
in photoshop cs6 64bit under windows 7 sp1 64bit i got
gray Dot gain 15%
spot  Dot gain 15%
i did a clean install of photoshop cs6 , i guess they are the dafault
may i know if they are the right settings ? i print with my printer and in a lab with an epson printer
thanks

Ask the lab but I'd be shocked if they asked you for a grayscale document, assuming this Epson is for output of photographic images
they work with psd files and jpg
(but the when i save a photo edited with for example an adjustament layer(black&white) photoshop convert it in a grayscale image ,isn't it?
but photoshop should warns about mismatch profile ,should it? or does it work only with color space
Dot gain would account for whatever dot gain you're aiming for on the press, so you'd have to ask.
Gamma would be used for output to an emissive display, so something like 2.2 to mimic sRGB behavior might be one option
. but may i ask a question?
because i guess i'm confused now
Gray and Spot settings are related only to convert from rgb to mode grayscale
or these settings influence what i see in the monitor when for example i add a black and white adjustament layer?
by the way gray and spot set both at dot gain 20% , are the dafault?
thanks

  • Pixma printer adding color while trying to print black and white.

    I've had this printer (Pixma MG5320) for about a year and a half now and recently noticed a problem with it.  I have been doing a lot of black and white photography lately (both digital and analog), and every black and white photo I print has some color fo it.  For instance I printed out a black and white digital picture I took recently that I edited using Nik's Silver Efex Pro.  Instead of the picture coming out black and white, it has an orange/red hue to it throughout the image, yet on my monitor it is void of all colors (except shades of black and white of course).   A few months ago I tried to print another picture, and it had a blueish/green hue printed throughout the picture as well.
    I am printing all these photos via Photoshop, and even went into the settings to click on "grayscale printing" but the problem still persists.  The printer does this with both brand new ink cartridges and ones that have been used before.  I can't figure out if there is some odd setting in Photoshop that I may have accidently messed around with (though there really shouldn't be), or if it's an issue with the printer itself.  If I print a color photo, all the colors seem about right and I don't notice an off hue on any of them.
    Does anyone know what could cause this?  I am just trying to troubleshoot the whole ordeal because it's gotten to the point where printing b&w photos is not in question until I figure this issue out.

  • Png within my document when converted to a pdf are printing black and white rest is color-help! WHY?

    I am creating a document in Publisher & converting to a pdf. Most of my png elements within the document, are then printing black and white from the pdf (everything else is in color)? Don't know what is going on, doesn't seem to happen on all printers, is there a setting I am missing? Help! Thanks

    Could be a setting in the PNGs when they are saved.
    Have you tried saving them as GIFs and replacing them in the document(s)?

  • Q: How do I Mask/Layer a color photo with a black and white photo?

    This is what I want to do. I've done it before but cannot remember for the life of me how to do it again. I want to put a color photo under (its own) black and white photo and then erase or remove or something (I can't remember the tool to do it) but I want to be able to see some of the color photo in my black and white photo. For example, say I have a pic of the Disneyland Castle. I want to make the pic black and white and then with a layer or mask (whichever one) have the exact colors of the picture underneith it show up after I have used the paint brush to remove the black and white...is anyone understanding me? When I did it before I know I did it in only a few steps, it wasn't super complicated, and I'm probably stupid for not knowing how to do it now. Thanks!

    Lindsey,
    First, look at the Channels in the B/W. Probably, you can use one of those as a Selection and then as a Layer Mask. If not perfect, then you can likely get close. If you need to, you might want to Blend more than one of those Channels.
    If you have an issue "collecting" the Channels, just get your B/W into a separate Image, and then drag individual Channels back to your composite image, and use them, as is necessary.
    Hope that some of those ideas are useful,
    Hunt
    BTW - turn OFF the color for Channels, so that you can see them as B/W, as that will help you see their makeup.

  • On the iPhone 5s, performing any edit on a black and white photo will render a strong purple tone. This occurs in any app under the current iOS. Sadly, every photo must then be re-edited to restore the original black and white.

    Hi everyone, I'm the one from the example above posted by @frankensinatra and I can confirm having the same problem.
    But I want to add something. The problem is not only related to black and white but to every picture, and it can be worse or not depending on the range of colors involved. Apparently, there is a shift between some RGB value that is going to remove some green producing a magenta look.
    I've started contacting some developer about this problem and some of them is trying to understand what's going on.
    In my case, the problem came up when I bought the new iPad mini Retina. I didn't have this problem with the previous iPad mini. Same OS for both devices.
    The photo you see in the link above is a perfect example of what happens just going from one app to another and saving to the camera roll. In that case, the situation doesn't change if I send that picture from within the app by email, or to another app using the "open in..." feature. It keeps being purple. And the problem can be reproduced all the time.
    Have some of you noticed the same?

  • I have just establishes my airprint but am unable to instruct the printer to print black and white only.How to proceed please

    i am unable to instruct my printer on airprint to print black and white only. The only option appears to be the no of copies.Any help please

    Both the drivers
    Canon SELPHY CP series Printer Driver 6.2 for Mac OS X 10.8       and the Apple Canon drivers
    may be needed together.  Not sure which will have to be installed before the other.   As for your iPhone, you'll have to enquire on the iPhone forum how to make it work.

  • How can I get my printer to print in color? I can only print black and white

    HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z-------windowsxp      My printer will not print anything in color.   How can Iget my printer to print in color?  I can only print in black and white.    It is a new Printer and we just installed it 2 wks ago.

    I am not sure I understand ''it still will not print. ''
    If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
    #In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
    #Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
    #Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
    The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
    '''Right''': 12.7
    '''Top''': 12.7
    '''Left''': 12.7
    '''Bottom''': 12.7
    Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

  • Printing black and white with color accent

    I am trying to figure out how the make a photo black and white and just have a flower colored.
    I have Photoshop 9 and am a beginner. Please help!  Thanks.

    1. Open your photo in Full Edit.
    2. Find the smart brush, the one with the gears on it. Choose a black and white style from the thumbnails in the options bar and turn on the Inverse checkbox.
    3. Drag over the flower that you want to keep in color. The rest of the photo will turn black and white.

  • Colored texture pasting as black and white into a layer mask

    Hello all,
    First time poster, long time lurker here.
    I'm pasting a colored layer into a layer mask I created  in order to texturize a shape I made. Whenever I Option + Click the layer mask and then paste the texture, it pastes in black and white instead of color, see screen capture below (pardon the watermark):
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC8Da4V0FAc
    Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance!

    If you want to add a texture to a shape, create a new layer, fill it with your texture, then ALT+click their separation line in the layers panel.
    This creates a what is called a Clipping Mask: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/revealing-layers-clipping-masks.html.

  • Can i force a officejet pro 8000 a809 to print black and white when a color cartrigde is empty?

    I am trying to get two text document printed and I get an No ink/toner message on the top the printer que window. It is the Yellow ink cartridge, can I bypass this and force it to print in black and white only?

    I know these posts are old, but.
    To force the print to print even though some carts are empty or expired. Turn the printer off. Then hold the feed button while turning the printer on. Keep the feed button pressed for about 4-5 seconds after powering on the printer.

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended crashes when using Black and White or photomerge

    Photoshop crashes when I go to adjustment > Black and White also crashes on Photomerge.
    Running 10.4.11 have uninstalled and reinstalled 2 times. Runs fine on old HD only different program is Office 2008.
    Have 3 gigs of ram and 500 gig HD . G5 1.6 GHz
    Any suggestions,
    Thanks

    I did reset to factory settings no change. I also ran Repair Permission. I didn't run it before I
    installed but it was a new system on a new 500 gig HD. I have over 200 gig of free space and 100 gig on other HD. 2 gigs of Ram for Photoshop. Tried both as scratch disk same problem. Photoshop crashes with both Photomerge and Black and White.
    Don't have the latest version of Disk Warrior so haven't tried that.
    This problem doesn't happen when I reboot to other HD same programs except for Office 2008 could that be the conflict?
    thank you for the suggestions.
