Photoshop CS6 Colour Management Printing issue

Hi,
We use Photoshop and 2 x Epson 9800 printers to print our images, we used to use CS4 and have recently upgraded to CS6.
We are having a problem with the “Colour Management” settings in the Printer Settings window. We choose for Photoshop to Manage Colours and select our ICC profile and Rendering Intent and Black Point. Our problem is that these settings reset each time we switch between our 2 printers back to “Photoshop Manages Colours” so we have keep selecting the same settings over and over again. This never happened on CS4.
How do we save these settings so that they do not reset each time we switch between printers.
I don’t think it has any relevance but we have our printer’s settings set to “No Colour Management” as the warning states.
Kind Regards
Steven

You possibly need to add the profiles for your printer first.
In LR select 'other' in the profile dropdown for the color managment. In the list check all the profiles you need for your printer.
When you select a printer profile in LR and let LR manage the colors make sure to turn off the color management in your printer driver settings.

Using Photoshop CS6 and after printing approx. 10 cards on an Epson R3000 printer the program gives me a dialog box saying "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." Even after closing and reopening the program, the print command is greyed out so I cannot select any printer. This also happens with a Brother laser printer. Both printers will produce a test page out side of the Adobe product. Help!

I cannot get any help either. I get the message "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." I have reinstalled all drivers, powered off/on all printers (2 of them - a Brother HL - 4040cn and an Epson Stylus Pro 7890 - which all worked fine until this morning). There appears to be no path to a solution. I have read all the forums and tried about 20 different suggestions all to no avail. Reboots, changing cables, reinstalling printers and drivers and Photoshop CS6 - ALL TO NO AVAIL. On a macbook pro retina with 10.10.3. This issue is out there and some get solutions - but not all - that's my crowd...the not all crowd. I have yet to be able to print from CS6 any more. This is a show stopper and my patience is wearing thin. And I'm tired of stupid questions like "is your printer powered on?" give me a break. This appears to be an adobe photoshop cs6 problem - as I can print from every other application. Anyone have any ideas? Adobe should have something?... Adobe system info below:

Photoshop CS6 Extension Manager Upgrade

Tried to install the upgrade for Photoshop CS6 Extension Manager and keeping the same Error Message: U44M1P7. What does this mean?

It means that the updater is having a bad day . Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall all your apps, then try to update again. These issues occur due to some updates locking stuff or flagging the pertinent entries in teh various databses and config files wrongly.

Photoshop CS6 - 64 bit Optimus issue - SOLVED!

Photoshop CS6 64-bit will not run when Optimus is enabled on my W520 system The program works fine if I have discrete only set in the BIOS. Setting the default graphics adapter to NVIDIA GPU when using Optimus still has the problem. Anyone seen this issue before? CS6 Photoshop 32-bit runs OK under Optimus with the NVIDIA GPU set as default. I'm stumped so far. I searched the Adobe Support site and found nothing concerning this issue.
Update_1: I initially installed the latest NVIDIA driver from the W520 Driver Matrix. The NVIDIA level downleveled from 296.88 to 296.20, but CS6 started working properly. I then downloaded the latest NVIDIA driver 301.42 which was the level recommended by several graphics sites. The system is working smoothly now. CS6 will now use the OpenGL and acceleration features of the 2000M. BTW, my WEI changed from 6.5 to 6.6 with this driver. The 3D graphics still remains at 6.9.
Update_2: I encountered yet another anomaly with the display driver. I placed the system into Discrete Graphics and updated the display driver to 301.42. When I set the system back to Optimus, the CS6 programs could no longer access the NVIDIA GPU. I had to reinstall the 301.42 drivers again in Optimus mode to have everything back to full function. I switched back to Discrete mode to check if things were still working (they were) and then I returned to Optimus mode and the programs continued to function properly. There must be a sequence that requires Discrete updates first, and them=n Optimus, but I've never seen it documented.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Canon printer problem!!

Use Photoshop CS6 to edit and print (try to print) to a new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer. Photoshop is up to date and the Mac runs OS 10.8.5 - Canon printer driver is current at ver. 11.7.1.
When I print from Photoshop to the Pro-100 (let's say a 4X6 landscape snapshot to 4X6 borderless paper) the printer starts up and moves the paper out about 4 inches and then prints the
first two inches of the image, stops and ejects the paper!. I've tried different versions of printer the printer driver and made sure every things is up to date. However, I can print from MS Word,
Nikon Capture NX2, or Canon's own Print Studio Pro and it works fine. Canon is no help because if it works OK with their Print Studio Pro then it's not their issue - I tend to agree with them.
The same thing happens print from Photoshop to 5X7 or 8X10 paper - it gets ejected so far and then only prints part of the image. I've searched the Internet and posted in Forums but can't find
where any one would have the same problem. What I'm hoping for here is someone at from Adobe who's knows Photoshop tech stuff will post here with suggestion because there is no more
phone support for Photoshop CS6. I'd like to really keep this printer and get Photoshop to work with it but if I can't I'm going to offer it up free to a good home! JM Davis

Thanks for your answer, indeed this fixed the problem. Quite stupid I did not see this myself

Colour management printing from LR 2.5

When printing to my HP z3200 from LR.2.5 on a macbook pro OS 10.6 how do I get the application to handle colour management rather than the printer? Ordinarily I would print from Photoshop (CS3) and let photoshop manage colours but Photoshop seems unable to handle big print files on my system. I can print them from Lightroom but seem to only be able to use "Let printer handle Color management" which I suspect is not as good as using color management in Lightroom or photoshop. Any body out there have any solutions? Thank you very much if you do.

You possibly need to add the profiles for your printer first.
In LR select 'other' in the profile dropdown for the color managment. In the list check all the profiles you need for your printer.
When you select a printer profile in LR and let LR manage the colors make sure to turn off the color management in your printer driver settings.

Photoshop CS6 Color Management Inaccuracy

Adobe: Just a reminder, this color-management problem that I reported against Photoshop CS5 is still around:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3475331
It's illustrated here in this screen grab, showing the visibly inaccurate result of Photoshop's transform, done in the GPU, from RGB values in the ProPhoto RGB color space to the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color space. Note the circular banding and color shifts in what should be a perfect gray gradient.
Do you think you could find it in your hearts to fix this before moving on to layer more features on an imperfect code base?
Thanks.
-Noel

I would like to include myself in the list to request the Adobe Photoshop CS6 team to look into the discolorization issue. I am using the entry level nVIDIA GT 430 for its basic openCL features for PhaseONE CaptureONE PRO.
I created a 16-Bit monochromatic image in CaptureONEPRO 7 and opened in CS6. My RGB working profile is ProPhoto and my 16-BIT BW TIFF is in the ProPhotoRGB space. With the GPU settings to "Normal" and "Advanced," I could see the discolorization and banding on my images. I have found that if I go to "View" and click on "Gamut Warning," the discolorizatioin seem to disaappear.
Having the GPU to "Basis" clears everything up as Noel Carboni first reported. I only have the banding and discolored appearing when GPU is on "Normal" or "Advanced."
Yours sincerely,
Ronald

Adobe Photoshop cs6 over citrix, Image Issue

HI Guys,
I am Citrix Tech, could you please help or suggest me in get this issue sorted. we have published Adobe Photoshop CS6 over Citrix which uses ICA protocol. When user launches the application and opens a image it loads with Blue coat color over the image.

As of now Citrix have advised to have Citrix Roll pack 05 to be installed.

Colour managment, printing from inkjet as apose to laser.

Hi All!
My problem with illustrator is about colour management. I used a laser print while I was on placement and now using my injet a home and now it doesn’t print out the right colour. I have a set of logos which I want in the company colours. I don’t want to change them manually for this reason.
I did a bit of research on colour management for instance RIP separations, acrobat distiller etc. I don’t really know where im going wrong. My computer is XP windows and I have the Adobe master suite collection.
I don’t know if the colours changing because of a printer change or whether it’s more connected to the actual illustrator program.
Have anyone got any helpful suggestions?
Helen

Every inkjet printer wants to see RGB colors. If you send an inkjet CMYK colors it's confused. It doesn't understand the CMYK data so it converts it to something it does understand - RGB. It then takes that RGB data and converts it for printing to CcMmYyK. This double-conversion can quite often result in color shifts.
This, combined with the fact that most inkjet printers don't have a RIP, yields less-than-great results on inkjets when printing from Illustrator in most cases.
By simply saving the file as a PDF (No need for Distiller) you use Acrobat as a software RIP. Then if you print the PDF from Acrobat to the inkjet you'll get more more accurate results.

Hi,
You can also use a FTP client (or your browser if it supports FTP) and download from the Adobe FTP server (ftp.adobe.com). The files are in /pub/adobe/cs6/downloads :
Windows (launch the .exe which will open the 7z file):
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.7z

Photoshop CS6 and OS Mavericks Issue

I can't get photoshop cs6 to behave properly now that I've upgraded to OS Mavericks. For that matter - I can't get InDesign or Illustrator CS6 to behave properly either.
When I use the File Open, File Save, and File Save As commands I immediately get the pinwheel that spins without end. It doesn't matter if I use a shortcut key or a the pull-down menu. I never get to a dialogue box. The pinwheel immediately appears after "Comm + O."
I've searched the forums and can't find a solution that works.
I've tried the following:
Removed all copies of CS5.1, CS5.5, and CS6. Reinstalled all CS6 apps.
Updated all CS6 apps to the latest version
Verified that I'm running the latest approved Apple Java from Apple
Updated my Wacom Drivers
Performed a repair permissions through Disk Utility
Unchecked "Displays have separate spaces" in Mission Control
Rebooted several times
Nothing has worked. Any ideas?
I'm nearly to the point of using Time Machine and ditching OS Mavericks.

Photoshop 7 Colour Management Problem (WinXP)

Hi,
I just a problem studio while swapping over 2 Windows XP machines, having swapped over the 1st PC Photoshop 7 lost it's colour management settings.
All images viewed now appeared hazey to the user. So we swapped the PCs back to the original monitor however the colour settings we are prompted for
when opening Photoshop 7 have now been lost..
We tried alll the colour management templates listed but these are not right.
Is there away we can restore the original settings? Could these settings be saved in a file somewhere on the PCs hard disk?
Thanks in advanced.

The color settings should be in C:\Documents and Settings\Anita\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop 7\ somewhere or they are in Photoshop's program directory under a Presets\Color folder

Photoshop CS6 Tools and Cursor Issues with Mountain Lion

Am using Photoshop CS6 on iMac 27inch with Mountain Lion. Experiencing inability to use the move tool to place one image on another after extraction. I place the move tool on the previously extracted image and drag it into an new image, but the extracted image does not get placed on the new image. Also, cursor disappears frequently when using Photoshop for extended periods of time.
Anyone having similar problems?

The cursor disappearing is a well known MacOS bug affecting all applications.
Have you installed all the updates for CS6?
And are you dragging from the layers palette, or from document to document?
