New computer system, printed colours are wrong, please advise.

I recently bought a new computer system inc Dell U2711 monitor and purchased LR4 and CS6. All was well, or so I thought, until I got some prints done. The prints from my old system (with which I only used elements 10) look fine. Those from my new system look awful, the colours are just wrong. My workflow is RAW image opened in LR then finished off in CS6 before saving as JPEG. The saved images look alright but when I either click view/ proof colors or if I use an image as a desktop screensaver, it gives the same washed out appearance with wrong colours. I'm at the limit of my technical knowledge here, does anyone have any ideas please?

Thanks for that link, I will read that. I've been going through the settings on LR and CS and I think I begin to understand. I've been looking in LR preferences and that gives three options for color space: There is Prophoto RGB (the default which LR recommends as it says the other two don't give the full colour range available in LR) then there is sRGB and lastly Adobe RGB (1998). There is no such option that I can find in CS6 preferences but, when I export a TIFF file from LR4 into CS6 and then save it from CS6 it shows the color as ICC profile Adobe RGB (1998). I also notice that in this setting using the view/ proof in CS6 the colours are slightly askew (they were way off when I had the LR preference set to ProphotoRGB). If however I set the LR preference to sRGB and then export to CS6, using the view/proof the colours stay the same so I'm still a bit confused. Maybe I'm just thick, it's a lot to take in.
I've processed a RAW image in the recommended ProphotoRGB, exported it to CS6 then before saving gone into edit/ convert to profile/ sRGB: the colours have stayed the same and using the view/ proof or save as desktop background = no change and everything looks good. So, is this the way forward and should that format work when printed? (I've only got a crappy basic two ink printer which I wouldn't trust to print anything other than text). Also, is it possible to get CS6 to save as sRGB by default or do I have to go through this routine for every image I want to save and print?

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

  • Hello, I'm trying to transfer my old itunes library to a new computer using home sharing. It's switched on in both computers, but I can't see the old library in the new computer. But I can see tracks from the new computer on the old one. Please help.

    Apologies for poor syntax, my arm's a little sore. Yes, one computer (old) is vista, new is Windows 8. Shouldn't I be able to import the whole library using home sharing? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you in advance

    I am having the same issue.  I recently purchased a new laptop and I have spent the last 3 days using the home share to slowly transfer all 22,000 songs.  However yesterday morning when I turned on both computers to continue the process I am having the following issue:
    both computers are running the same windows OS (8)
    both computers are running the same version of itunes
    both computers are logged in with the same apple ID
    both computers have home sharing turned on
    Now however I can see the NEW computers itunes library in the drop down box on the OLD computer, however I can not see the OLD computers itunes library on the NEW computer.  I can no longer see "HOME SHARES" on the drop down LIBRARY list on the new computer.  I've taken the following steps to correct the error:
    reset the router
    completely shut down BOTH computers and brought them back up
    reopened itunes
    re-logged in on both PC's
    re-activated both PC's with home share
    The articles and help from the apple sites are worthless and it says if you can't see a library just turn home sharing off then back on - I've completed the above steps NUMEROUS times.  After spending 4 days on transferring my music I really do not want to have to start over by using an external hard drive and then importing that way.  I would like some help on discovering why the new laptop is no longer seeing my old library. (When it has been working up to this point) 
    Thanks in advance.

  • Read tif, save as jpg, colours are wrong

    I am using jdk 1.5.0_04 on Solaris 9, and for reading tifs I have tried both jai_imageio_1_0_01 and jai_imageio_1_1-alpha.
    If I read in a tif, and save as a jpg, as follows:
    BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File("xxx.tif"));
    ImageIO.write(img, "jpg", new File("xxx.jpg"));
    the colours in the saved jpg are wrong.
    Light is dark, orange changes to blue, etc.
    Can anyone explain why and how to fix it?

  • New computer system specs for CS4

    I need to replace one of my office systems. It's been over 3 years since I've bought a new computer, and would like to know what I should look for in a good system to run CS4 Design Suite. Main applications I use heavily are ID & Acrobat. Light usage of PS and IL.
    I've usually bought Dells and would consider staying with it. I will likely go with Windows 7 (is Home okay or do I need more?). Which of the Dell lines should I be looking at? I know I need a separate graphics card (which one?). How much RAM should I get?
    Are the AMD processors okay or should I stick with Intel -- and is there a minimum processor I should consider.
    Of course I don't want to spend more than necessary, but I know I need more than a bottom-of-the line system. I was hoping to keep it under $1,000 if possible.
    I'd appreciate any help you can offer.
    Thanks.

    I've speced out a Studio Desktop system for $809 (before tax and any cash back) with the following details:

    Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
    Also Includes
    Integrated 16-in-1 Media Card Reader
    Integrated 10/1000 EthernetCompatibility 
    Am I missing anything I need?
    Is $809 a good price (not looking for a spectacular deal unless there's one now; just a good price) for this system?
    If so, I think I'm ready to buy it. Let me know what you think.
    Thanks.

  • Installed LaserJet M1212nf MFP on new computer. Prints but wont scan.

    I just installed Laser Jet M1212nf MFP printer on a new computer.  It installed itself and prints fine.  It wouldnt scan so I downloaded the software from the HP website.  It still doesnt scan.  I don't know what to do next.  My computer doesnt pick up the fact that there is a new scanner. 

    Solved my own problem.  the name of the laserjet showed up as 1210 instead of 1212 on my computer.  It still isnt working properly, but at least the new computer recognzes the printer.  Onto the next problem..

  • Just got new computer, all itunes songs are lost. How do I transfer the songs on my iTouch to my iTunes

    I just got a new computer and I copied all my songs onto a hardrive and then added it to itunes. Some of them are missing from my itunes and some are "unable to be located". All of my songs I have purchased on my itouch "cannot be located" and i cannot play them. They are still on my itouch and i want to transfer my itouch playlists to my new itunes.

    That is true, songs that you bought have different coding than songs that you downloaded illegally so that police can tell if you bought the song or downloaded it illegally. Also a lot of songs now with iTunes do require the account that bought it to access it in order for it to work.

  • New computer-system wants to erase current songs

    I have a new computer. When I go to sync new songs, it tells me that if I procede, it will erase all of my old songs already on the Ipod.I thought there was a way to back this up. If anyone knows, I would appreciate the answer. It has taken me over an hour just to get to this forum. No one at Apple to email of course. Right now I wish I had never loaded music on this piece of ****.

    Hello DesertLady,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Your iPod is still associating itself with your older iTunes library that is no longer available and I am assuming you have your iPod set up to sync automatically instead of manually. In order to get the iPod working with your new library, you will have to restore the iPod via iTunes.
    [Restoring iPod to factory settings|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339]
    However, if the music on your iPod is not in your new iTunes library, there are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and into your new iTunes library.
    The first link after the Apple support document below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
    Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
    Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."

  • New Computer; my music files are not on board

    I just built a new computer and have loaded iTunes. My iTouch is retaining all of the apps and music I had stored on it.
    My problem is that iTunes cannot find the music because it's not where it was located before.
    If I "delete" the library then it warms me it will delete the tunes (any that were synced with the old iTunes) from the iTouch also.
    I'd like to just delete the present library and then provide new links in a new one.
    Help me out so I don't make it worse than what it is!
    Thanks

    Go into iTunes > Preferences - Advanced Tab, and tell iTunes where the library is located on your hard drive. You should be good to go.

  • I cannot open pdf in my new computer in the internet. Help please

    I cannot open pdf in my new computer in the internet. I have Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 11. All it does is open up a blank page with a white x in a black square. How can I fix this?

    Hi Pat..When I tried to run Fix It the computer pops up a screen that says this trouble shooter does not apply to this computer .The article refers to Internet Explorer 10 and Im running Internet Explorer 11. I did try to see it it would fix my problem but the registry entry does not exist on my computer (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\TabProcGrowth) I can get as far as HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer but I dont have the option to choose Main. I only have the option to choose New Window which does not open up when clicked. Internet Explorer also has no value. Is there anything else I should try?

  • Authorized new computer. Most songs are gone

    Last night I authorized a new computer. Everything went fine. All my purchased songs were there.
    Today when I signed on, every single song has vanished except for the few I added to a playlist last night.  Where did all the rest of my songs go? How can I get them back?
    Thank you.

    See this migrate iTunes library post. Back up your library and other personal data on a regular basis. Then you will be ready to move it over to your next computer when the time comes.

  • There is a bug in FF 14,15,16 (I believe all 3) regarding mousedown x/y in an SVG canvas area. Please advise how to report this and have someone fix it.

    I am a web developer. The bug is in latest versions of FF however works fine in previous versions 6-9 (I believe), IE,Chrome. Please go to http://partybannerman.com/svg2/svg-editor.php?id=108&catid=35&wch=MXx5
    Select the number 7 with the arrow tool. Observe the location of the cursor
    Click-drag the selection and closely watch the cursor.
    The cursor no longer is in the same relative position. relative to the object selected.
    This is particularly annoying when zoomed into the "7".
    The precision is necessary for commands that we are implementing that require the cursor position relative to the object selected to be exact.
    Please advise, and thanks for your help

    Not entirely sure I follow your instructions. One thing I do note is the initial starting position of the "7" differs when I compare Firefox (17 or 10) with Chrome. Is that relevant ?
    I wonder if part of the difference may be in how differing browsers cope with the code. I am not a developer and do not know how relevant this is but I note if I try the validator http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/ it is returning some errors.
    If you do think there is a bug try to make a simple test-case that demonstrates this and post in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ bugzilla]. If this appears to be a regression it would be handy to pin it down at least to a particular Firefox version, although users should not now be using Firefox 6-9. (Drill down from [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ here] if you need an old version of Firefox to run tests with)
    Someone more knowledgeable may provide further information, or if you need advice on troubleshooting coding issues you may find this forum useful http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25
