Photo printing Looks WACKY from my Imac.

When printing photos to a HP Photosmart Premium printer the colors are washed out and look really bad. When I print from my Macbook Pro there fine. Most of all my photos are on my Imac. Is there a setting I'm not hip to that may be wrong???

If you try to print a duplicate copy of a file from Macbook on your iMac, is it still washed out? If so, it is likely the printer settings.
Are the settings for the printer driver the same on your iMac as they are the Macbook? If not, change the iMac settings to match the Pro. Also, are you using the same type of paper? That can make a difference.
Other possibilities require some color management knowledge. But basically, you would need to make sure your iMac screen is calibrated properly, even if you only use the rough calibration tool of the iMac. That way you have a better chance of getting a print that matches what you see on screen. But check the printer setting first before worrying about the rest.

    Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

  • Syncing Photos to a Macbook from an Imac

    Hi, thanks for looking....what is the best way to sync photos from an imac to a macbook....
    any suggestions would help...
    Thank you!

    What about Photocasting if your .Mac.
    Also try using a flash drive if your don't have .Mac.
    .mac is the most effective way to transfer photos (that I know of).

  • WRT54GL unable to access wired shares or printer on PC from wireless iMac

    The subject line applies to a new router on which I can access the internet ok both from the wired PC and the wireless iMac.
    The problem is this router is unable to access the PC shares or printer from the iMac. Pls note, "this router"!
    I have an identical WRT54GL v1.1, same firmware, setup is identical on both, one works with no problem, but the new one has the above problem..
    I have spent a day on it and its in line for return on Monday, but I still hope for a miracle tip which may sort it out :-)
    On the good one 'Port scan' of the PC from iMac gives me:
    Port Scan has started ...
    Port Scanning host: 192.168.1.100
    Open TCP Port: 139
    Open TCP Port: 445
    while the faulty one gives me:
    Port Scan has started ...
    Port Scanning host: 192.168.1.100
    ..and thats it! No contact.
    Yes, the router is set up for 'Lan & Wireless' (no way to change that setting to 'WAN only' it seems, it bounces back to 'Lan & Wireless')
    I have btw done a Factory Reset on it (twice) with no joy.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Mvh

    My first guess for this kind of problem would be a software firewall on the computer. The firewall will detect where it is connected and configures the settings depending on the location. Two routers are two different "locations". Try turning off the firewall or even better deinstall it as often some parts of those software firewalls are still active when turned off.
    The only option that does affect access of wireless clients to the LAN is the "AP Isolation" option on the "Advanced Wireless Settings". That should be off.
    Another thing you could try if you like: do a configuration backup on the working router and restore it to the faulty one. Maybe there are some settings that don't match and that you cannot configure through the web interface. Have you ever used a 3rd party firmware on either of the routers?

  • When you import photos to your ipad from your iMac , do those photos disappear from the iMac?

    When you import photos from your iMac to your ipad, do those photos disappear from the iMac??

    No. Syncing albums from your computer to your iPad copies the photos to your iPad but leaves them on the computer.

  • Why is Photo printer not locating files on iMac desktop?

    My Canon photo printer does not recognize files on my desktop?
    Canon has "never heard of this problem".
    How can I fix this?

    Well, every Printer & OS is different, but in the Print Dialog, click on Preview, check Paper Hanling, Paper feed, & any other ones for Photo choices...

  • Can't print in color from new iMac running 10.10

    I recently purchased a new iMac to replace my 10 year old machine. Its great. However, I can't print in color to my HP Photosmart 7510 all in one. Its not the printer because I printed a test page from the printer and it was color. I have tried to print from iPhoto and Creative Cloud Photoshop CC. I left a post on the HP forum and also left a question on the HP support site and have gotten nothing. If anyone can help me with this, I will be grateful. Hope I don't also need a new printer. I uploaded the latest driver for the printer. Maybe that is the problem.
    Thank you in advance. You guys on this site are awesome!

    Hi,
    When you print are you sure that you have print in color selected? if you do then try re-installing your printer. This video helped me.

  • Photo Printing from Networked Windows 7

    My HP Photosmart Printer is  USB connected to a Windows XP machine which is directly attached to the home network.  Also have a Windows 7 64 machine  wirelessly connected to the home network.  The Photosmart printer was added to the windows 7 machine and selected as the default printer and I have no problems printing to it from the Windows 7 machine except that I only recently found out that I cannot select from various photo paper sizes to print photos from the Windows 7 computer.  All various printing programes only give me a limited selection of paper sizes to choose from when configuing the printing - Letter, A4, A5 Envelope, Legal, etc.   The same programs on the XP machine offer the choice of various photo paper sizes to print to.  It seems as though all of the Photosmart configuration options are not available via the Windows 7 computer. Should I try to install the printer on the Windows 7 machine again, directly from a downloaded HP installation file?

    Hi,
    Well, looks like you have to install drivers on the Windows 7 machine (if supported) but I how do we know your printer to find out ?.
    Regards.

  • Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please.

    Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
    I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

    Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac, restart the printer...

  • How do I get the new photos albums from my imac to sync to my iphone?

    Last week my iMac did the software update that replaced iPhoto on my iMac with the new Photos application.
    Since then, I have migrated all my iphoto library to the Photos library and have been able to further sort my photos in the albums area.
    I have backed up my iPhone 6, and then completed a sync so it would be updated accordingly with the photos app as opposed to the previous iPhoto app. In iTunes everything looks fine, in Photos everything looks fine, and there was a bit of a hiccup once or twice with trying to complete the sync process (although I imagine this was simply due to the mere nature of the number of images have to sync as I do photography and I model so over 32000 photos to sync). Finally I was able to complete the sync process, and all seemed fine.
    I then went in to Photos app on the iPhone 6, and all the photos are there, all the albums are there, but all the albums are empty even though the photos are on the phone in the photos sections???
    I would really like to know how to get the albums to sync properly to my iPhone 6 from an iMac, does anyone know what to do?
    Also, my iPhone since then has been dropping battery life significantly and getting very warm over short periods of time, but I have had no applications open, the phone has not been in use at the time and has been locked screen.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Synced photos can only be deleted by syncing again with iTunes and deselecting all synced items.

  • The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

    The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac).  When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be.  Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto).  That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
    I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS.  I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
    I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare.  They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer.  BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc.  I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.
