Trouble creating personal url and disabling color management in the printer preference dialog

I just purchased a new Canon Pro 9000 MKII which came with a new copy of Photoshop Elements 8. I registered the software and created a username and password successfully, but I am unable to created a personal URL for starting an online gallery. I keep getting error messages everytime I try. One message is that name is taken and the other simply says there is an error.
Second problem is when I try to print from Edit in Photoshop Elements 8 there is a message that states: " did you remember to disable color management in the printer preference dialog?" It is unclear to me how this can be done.
Any help with these two issues would be greatly appreciated
Thank you.

Log in to the web page and try some different characters e.g.

In the print dialog you need to click More Options and choose printer manages color if you want to use your printer/paper profile.

DISABLING COLOR MANAGEMENT & PAPER SIZE

After some struggling and considerable surfing the internet, I managed to get my HP Deskjet printer output producing the proper colors.
However I still have an ongoing problem with paper size and orientation.
I have Photoshop Elements 7 running under Windows XP.
Under the current set up, under "Page Setup" in the print dialog box, I can select 6x4 borderless and landscape orientation, but the printer will still print it in portrait orientation on 8.5 x 11" paper. I have seen many times where I have selected "Landscape" in Photoshop but the image in the preview windows shows Portrait. Or the preview is oriented portrait but the picture within the preview is a cropped landscape version of the image. Or the preview picture is landscape but the landscape-portrait button shows portrait. Obviously there are portrait images and portrait printings, but Photoshop seems to get them confused and wants to print a landscape image in a portrait orientation.
If I hit "Print" and then go to "Preferences" in the Windows printer dialog box, if I select "landscape borderless 6x4", it will print a 6x4 image on letter sized paper, ignoring the orientation and paper size I selected. And if I re-enter the Windows printer dialog box, will show "letter" again as the current paper size, although I had not selected that previously.
I have "Photoshop Elements manages colors" selected, but then a warning message appears asking if I have disabled color management in the printer preferences dialog. I cannot find any way to disable color management in Windows XP or in Photoshop. (If this has anything to do with my problem.)

Disabling color management in canon driver

Hello
Can anyone tell me how to disable Color Management in the Printer Driver Dialogue Box for Canon (ip4000) printer?
Other AI CS4 users must have needed to do this, in accordance with the instructions in the Color management print window when printing in AICS4, as otherwise the colors just dont work when printing.
As most AI users will know the guidance says "Let Illustrator determine colors", and "dont forget to disable color management in printer driver dialogue box". How do you do that then?
I have no idea how to find the Canon printer driver dialogue box, and Canon did not seem to know what I was talking about when I phoned them - they said contact Apple or Adobe.
Grateful for any any advice.

I don't think it is stupid at all. Even home or small office printers nowadays have the capacity to turn their own colour management on and off. That does not necessarily result in implementing custom profiles though. It is just saying "don't try and match the colours by yourself" basically (although probably a bit more sophisticated in the driver's kitchen).
As for doing it on a Canon printer (make sure you follow the next steps with Illustrator closed so it can apply to all pictures you will print) :
- Open the Printing Preferences control panel of your printer,
- In the Color/Intensity section, select "Manual" and click on "Set...",
- Check that all colour adjustment sliders are at 0,
- Go to the "Matching" tab,
- In the "Color correction" drop box menu, select "None",
- Close all dialog boxes and you're done.
It has made a huge difference on my prints with a Canon ip3600 printer. They were way too reddish before, now they are as close as they can be to what I want - provided I don't have nor need any calibration hardware to make highly precise colour calibration end to end.

Hot to create color profile if I can't disable color management?

I have Canon PIXMA iP4600 printer. I wanted to create custom color profile for Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy paper, but I can't disable color management in the Print dialog. There are two options: SolorSync (and I have to pick some color profile I'd like to use), or Canon Color Matching. There is no way to disable color management.
I tried to create custom profile by choosing Canon Color Matching, but it turned out to be way worse than the original Canon profiles. Jeans in printouts are not denim blue but ultramarine! I suspect this is because profile target was printed with some color profile enabled.
I just thought maybe there are some "fake" printer profiles out there? Profiles which don't translate anything and what goes in, comes out 1:1? This way I could work-around this problem.
My problem is that in printouts I need little bit more more saturated greens and 4-7% less red component.

Hello Guntis,
As you have seen with the Canon iP driver, there is no function to disable color management, you either select ColorSync or Canon Color Matching.
When you select ColorSync, your output will use the default profiles assigned to the paper stocks for the Canon driver. If you wanted to see the Lab plot for that particular stock, open the ColorSync application and select the Profiles pane. If you then expand the Other entry you will see all the profiles for the default paper stocks for your iP4600 and their respective color gamuts.
If you then wanted to check which paper stock matched the code names, such as SP, MP and PR, you could select to print from an application and open the Color Matching menu. If you then set the option to ColorSync and leave the Profile set to Automatic, then open the Quality & Media menu and select Photo Paper Plus Glossy and then switch the menu back to Color Matching, you will notice that there will be writing under the Profile menu, stating the profile used - in this case SP2.
If these default values are not delivering the color output you want, then I suggest you set the Color Matching menu to Canon Color Matching and then use the Color Options menu to tweak the Magenta and Cyan values to boost the greens and reduce the reds.
Note that you should also set your application to let the printer manage the color.

How to *really* disable Color Management in PSE 7 Organizer?

After much experimenting with old versions of PSE (2 and 3 specifically) and my Canon MP530 inkjet, I have found I get the best results by disabling PSE Color Management and using the Canon printer driver to manage colors. (Even when using the supplied printer profiles in PSE, the results are too dark and typically have a heavy orange color cast.)
Now with PSE 7, I can print from the Editor, tell PSE to let the printer manage colors and get decent results. However, in the Organizer, even if Color Management is turned off in Preferences, the Print dialog box forces you to select a printer color profile, and the resulting prints are terrible.
So, is there any way to tell PSE 7 Organizer that you want your printer to manage colors? Without this option, all the printing features in Organizer are worthless to me. Thanks for the help.

Found a possible answer from the archive ...
John Rolfe Ellis - 8:43pm Jan 13, 08 PST (#1 of 4)
Unfortunately, there isn't an option for letting the printer manage colors
in the Organizer. In PSE 6, you can either select the option Print Space:
Same as Source, which sends the photo to the printer *without* the color
profile needed by the printer to manage color, or you can select a printer
profile and have PSE 6 manage color. (Thanks to Colin at Elements Village
for clarifying this for me.)
So you have three options:
1. Print only from the Editor with the printer managing color.
2. Print from the Organizer using Print Space: Same as Source and configure
your printer to assume the profile of your photos. For example, if your
photos all have the profile sRGB, then configure your printer to assume that
photos are in sRGB. The equivalent setting in the PSE 6 Editor Print is
Color Handling: No Color Management. The details depend on your photos and
your printer, of course, but most consumer cameras produce sRGB and most
consumer printers assume sRGB by default. (But evidently, either your
photo with the yellowish cast isn't sRGB or your printer isn't assuming
sRGB, so this approach may not work for you.)
3. Have PSE 6 manage color by selecting the appropriate printer profile in
the Organizer and Editor Print commands and turning off color management in
your printer. If you get this all configured properly, this will give you
the assurance of knowing who is managing color, but it does take more effort
on your part. You need to read your printer driver documentation carefully
to get it configured properly, and this often involves going to the vendor's
support knowledgebase to get the necessary documentation.

How do i disable color managment Pro-100

This printer has been nothing but a headache and I'm not sure how others can get it to work...anyway. The problem is the color(specificly oranges and red). It's way off from the color on my monitor. So, I purchased a ColorMunki Dispaly and calibrated my monitor. That didn't help. Next I downloaded the Canon Print Studio Pro and when I access it through Photoshop CC, it (canon print studio) tells me the driver isn't installed for the printer....HOWEVER can print to the PRO-100 from every program on my Mac, so clearly the driver IS installed. Now I think I will try getting a custom ICC profile but in order to do that I need to disable the color management, but when I look for a radio button or some thing like that I end up just raising my blood pressure!
Can some one direct me on how I can disable color management in the PRO-100? Or if you could direct me on how to fix the color that would be great too but it seems to be much more complex issue.

See here and give this a try.

Disable color management photosmart c5280

I need to disable color management on my c5280 but can find no option to do as such. Does anyone know how to disable it?

I have the same printer and the same problem. I have read in the printer helps that it is not necessary to disable color management. If a program like PS is configured to manage colors, the printer will not use their own profile. But, if you are unsatisfied for the color in printed pictures, is possible your monitor improperly calibrated. Try it fist of all.
In case you see that don't work, or want to be really sure the printer color management is not interfering your work, try to delete the color profiles in the printer set up (it is a reversible operation).
For that you have to open the control panel (or printers folder), go to printers, select HP C5280, right click and select "properties", then select "Color Management" tab. Then you can see a button named "Color management...". Click it and you will see a window with some fields and check boxes.
The first field allows you to select the device: select "HP C5280". Below, you have a check box with the text " Use my set up in this device", check it. Below that you have another field for "Select Profile". Select "Manual" (it is probably in "Automatic" the first time). Then in the bigger space below every thing, you can see the profiles. Delete all the profiles (simply click over one and then press Del key). Close the window and that's all.
Later, you can add the deleted profiles using the button "Add profiles" and revert everything.

Hello,
I have a PIXMA Pro-1 that I run under OS X 10.9.1.
In order to print a target image to create a custom ICC file, I need to disable the Color Management of the printer/driver.
(I cannot print with the Color Management Tool Pro because the calibration device is not supported and I need to print a custom target file)
How to disable it on a Mac?
Thank you!

It seems you should print tbe chart image uisng Photoshop. This is the oly means of selecting Canon in Color Matching. Color Management is not available and has apprently been turned off/.

Disableing the printer color management in the printer settings box

Hello
I am printing on a Epsonstylus r1800 printer using windows 8.. Printer has new drivers v6.55 The Adobe print setup reminds me to disable the printer color management in the print settings box. I can't find where to do this in the print settings box. Resulting in color that is way off. Any thoughts?

Must be done in the printer driver.

First click on Print settings and in the dialog that opens look for Color Adjustment but that differs with the printer model...

How to disable Color Management using HP Inkjet 6988

Hi: When printing in Photoshop CS4 it says to make sure you turn off Color Management in your printer.
How do I turn off Color Management in my HP Inkjet 6988?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Gus Hallgren aka unclegus24

Hi HighHeelTech,
Follow these steps to select a color management option:
1. Open the Printer Properties dialog box.
2. Click the Color tab.
3. Click one of the following options in the Color Management drop-down list:
ColorSmart/sRGB: ColorSmart/sRGB is an appropriate option for most print jobs. It is used for most Web-based documents and current imaging devices.
AdobeRGB: When using AdobeRGB to print from a professional software program, turn off the color management in the program and allow the printer software to manage the color space. Use the AdobeRGB setting for photos that were originally created in the AdobeRGB color space.
Managed by Application: Use this option to allow the program from which you are printing to manage the color of the photo.
ICM (Image Color Management): ICM is a Microsoft technology that helps ensure that a color image, graphic or text object is printed as close as possible to its original color and helps keep its colors consistent and accurate.
4. Select any other print settings that you want, and then click OK.

Cannot disable color management in printer preferences dialog

Hi,
I'm evaluating PSE11 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.5. I'm trying to print to an HP Officejet 6500 for which I have an ICC profile. When I set Color Handling to "Photoshop Elements Manages Color" I receive the reminder that I must ensure that the printer isn't doing that. After selecting the profile, I go to the Print dialog. In the Color Matching tab I can select either Color Sync or Vendor Matching. If I select Color Sync, I am presented with a list of profiles, one of which I'm expected to select, but no option to select none. (No, Automatic doesn't mean that the printer performs no color matching!) If I select Vendor Matching, then in the Paper Type/Quality tab there's a drop down Color Options, but there, too, there's no option to turn of color management in the printer.
This inability to turn off color management in the printer would usually preclude making a profile for it, since the profile targets must be printed without the printer performing color management. However, the company that made them for me supplies the targets as TIFFs, and Adobe has a utility, Adobe Color Print Utility (ACPU), which somehow manages to circumvent the problem. Is there something like ACPU either built into PSE11 or that can be plugged into it that will turn off color management?
Regards,
Richard

Your printer model may not permit the print driver software to be turned off. On higher end printers this option is normally found in the printer properties (color tab) which will have the choice of selecting Application Manages Color or grayscale printing. I’ve not come across ACPU for Elements.

Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark 2 - HELP! - switching off color management in the print dialog

Hello
I'm using Lightroom 5 to print. I'm selecting a custom profile in the print section and lightroom says in italics below

Can someone explain to me how to do that?
I'm on a Macbook Pro running Yosemite.
Many thanks

It may be a little different with the 9000 as it is several models back by now. But what I explained should be close.

Help setting up color management profiles on mac

I've downloaded the lasted drivers for my Canon MP620 printer, and installed them. But when I go to color management in the print module and click on managed by printer and then select others, the Canon drivers are not there. Wondering if I'm missing a step here for getting the Canon profiles to the right place. I'm using mac os 10.6
Thanks

From my little experience with Canon 'multi' printers, I would forget printing out of Lightroom with anything other than Managed by Printer. The Others you mention are profiles necessary for allowing Lightroom to manage the printing. I've set up two Canon multi models (MX860 & MP560). Neither managed to produce decent prints using Managed by Lightroom - largely because of the way that the Canon driver controls are configured. I talked at length with Canon (UK) about a work around, but in the end they gave up. That's the downside. The upside is that both printers produced great quality prints using the Solution Menu software that comes with the printers.
Unless, of course, someone knows better.

In PS C6 I'm getting a warning that "No color management" setting for printer isn't supported. Why?

I'm using Photoshop Extended CS6. I'm printing to either an Epson Stylus Pro 9900 or an Epson SP4900. In the print dialog, I get a warning I haven't seen in a long time. It says the setting "No Color Management" at the printer is not supported. This is patently false. I am given a link to download the Adobe Color Print Utility (which gives abominable results; I know this from repeated uses in the past), and a service note saying this issue is for Photoshop CS5. Clearly there is a problem, possibly a bug.
I have never had CS5 installed on this machine. I do have PS CS5.5 and PS CS6 on this machine (I have used all versions of CS in various suites from the start of the product line).
Can anyone explain this annoying intrusion on my workflow? Of course "no printer management on printer/Photoshop manages color" works... There must be an explanation.
Thanks.

An excellent question, and worthy, in fact of an essay, if not a chapter in a book on color management and proofing issues. And as you suggested earlier, it's a philosophical question (not strictly conceptual to my way of thinking).
It's also a question I can't answer, in terms of practicality and a personal sense of efficacy in dealing with a monolithic process (producing a print). That is, I can't answer for you, or anyone else I'd venture to say.
Stepping back for the briefest of moments, we should remember we live, on computers, in a virtual world. Whatever we see is a simulation, or if you prefer a simulacrum. Plato would probably say, not much better than the play of shadows on the cave wall from the flickering flames.
It's called soft proofing for a reason. The only hard proof is a print. I am old enough to remember the days when producing a color print from a chrome (requiring an internegative) or even directly from negative images, was an art, best left to skilled technicians in a lab. And even then it was an iterative process. Making an image ready for accurate color rendition in lithographic reproduction was the same things, maybe times ten. And required sometimes a whole team of skilled technicians, the last of them being the press operator. You can't appreciate the full impact of these facts of life back then unless you have been "on press" in some plant, invariably in the hinterlands, looking at actual press proofs under 6500K calibrated proofing lights, comparing them against the original chrome, the separation proofs used to make the plates. You had to understand not only the physics (and biology) of RGB imaging, but the intricacies of subtractive technology, aka CMYK. As in so much else in life, less is more, and so you had to understand that sometimes the least adjustment was the best (because you were also dealing with the physical constraints of layers of ink on paper), so if an image looked too green on the press sheet, it might be best to throttle up on the magenta just a touch, rather than cut back on the yellow and cyan. You balanced one against the other, because of the possible effects on other parts of the image.
This long-winded, probably tiresome if not boring, anecdote is meant to be illustrative of the analogous situation in which we find ourselves printing images with digital technology, combined with electromechanical devices spraying pigmented fluids in drops measured in picoliters of volume on substrates of varying physical properties related to absorbency, refractive index, contribution to an arcane phenomenon known as metamerism.
We can't hope to see anything but a, pardon the expression, simulacrum of the combination of the effects of these phenomena (and other phenomena as a result of the interdigitation of these different technologies, at the software level, and even more so at the hardware level), at least not on a screen (which introduces a whole other set of variables). We can't see what we will get unless we actually go through the ordeal and expense of producing a hard proof. And then using our experience and deductive skills to make adjustments, not unlike maneuvering a rover on the moon from a control station on earth, that will produce the desired outcome within a very narrow (I assume) set of parameters.
Personally, I prefer working in Lightroom and in Photoshop in order to produce the image I would like to see in an ideal, if you like a Platonic, world. If what was on the screen could somehow be transferred magically to the surface of a lovely unsullied sheet of Arches cold press watercolor paper, 350g/m^2 coming out of an Epson 9900... (I've done it). Not so easy.
What the soft proofing capabilities of Photoshop are good for, from my point of view, is to show me how far off the image I am looking at as ideal will fall short on the intended target substrate. I must always remember, it is not a wholly accurate rendition of what the printer will do with a sheet of paper from a particular production run, with the particular combination of inks (with varying dates of origin of manufacture), never mind the vagaries of temperamental nozzles in the printhead, not to mention conditions of humidity, temperature, etc.
What the softproof tells me is that the red in that scarf on my subject really needs bumping up, if I expect the level of vibrancy I see I need in the ideal rendition. And I make the adjustment in the RGB representation on the screen, etc. When I have made my by guess and by gosh adjustments to all problem areas as suggested by the soft proof (it is only as accurate after all as the RGB image is in depicting any realistic expectation of a final result—the only assurance I have is that if I really want people to see my image as I see it on the screen I had better show them the screen...), I make a print. Sometimes I have to make two or three until I am satisfied this is truly the best I will get from the beautiful, but arcane, surface of the paper I have chosen.
In short, it's a risky business, and expensive.
If you want fast and affordable, frankly, stick to premium grade high gloss surfaces, preferably from Epson, in your case, or the manufacturer of your printer in general (Canon, incidentally, produces spectacular results on their Pixma Pro series printers and their own papers, especially the Pro Luster surface... I don't even bother with soft proofing... so there is an exception even to this rule I am taking a lot of time to point out to you). High gloss papers tend to have the widest gamut, give the deepest blacks, and the best renditions of saturated color, red and blue particularly, for some reason often the hardest spectral colors to render with the level of saturation you might like. Especially if you tend to shoot vividly colored subjects.
If you regularly use matte surface, or so-called fine art or watercolor surfaces, I think even if you adhere to the workflow implied in your question... Just set the computer and screen to "soft proof" in effect in Photoshop and work from their, and hope for the best... you are in for massive chronic dissatisfaction.
One last thing, I produce what I consider a basic working image in Lightroom, add further effects using a battery of third party effects software (from Google Nik, OnOne, Imagenomic, AlienSkin, etc.) and then go to work further on the image in Photoshop, but I never save the image, except as a revised file, once I'm done with Lightroom adjustments (which are never applied to the RAW file, but kept as meta-instructions separately in the LR database). So any effects added produce a new file. Any changes in Photoshop produce a new file. And when I am working, finally on an image to make into a committed hard print, I NEVER save the settings I use to produce a print, including a print I deem acceptable for exhibition. If nothing else, I can honestly tell a print buyer they are getting a unique "hand-made" image. I don't feel I'm operating a factory after all, but a studio. Further, changes in technology occur dynamically and continuously. I don't know what I would do with the settings I derived from working solely in the "soft-proofing" mode you think you might prefer in your workflow, if a new paper or ink set, or printer came along that solved the problems I had to fudge around to get a decent print with the existing technology at the time. At least if I work solely in RGB trying to achieve an "ideal" rendition, I will always be able to start from that same point, the next time I want a print worth saving of that image.
We've gone, or I've gone, way off topic here, and I beg the indulgence of anyone else who might be reading this, hoping for a simple fix to the original simple problem.
