Photoshop CS6 - Printing ICC Targets?

So now that Adobe has completely eliminated the possibility of printing icc profile targets through Photoshop CS6 (cant do null transform anymore), how do you suggest we print ICC profile targets without color management? Yes, I'm aware of the ACPU, but that utility causes all kinds of issues with scaling and sizing the targets incorrectly. Are you planning on fixing the ACPU to work on the current operating systems?

Why are you using absolute colorimetric? Are you trying to proof printing on a paper that is much more yellow than what you are printing on?
If you are not trying to proof printing on another paper, use Relative Colorimetric.

  • Set "Scale To Fit Media" as default in Photoshop CS6 print settings on OSX

    Quite frequently my boss will email 10 to 30 images to me to print from his camera. Is there a way to setup Photoshop CS6 print settings so that "Scale To Fit Media" is the default. I tried to create an action and then through Bridge select a folder and Batch send the files to Open-Print-Close. Since images are never received 8.5"x11" it would be convenient to have this as a default. Since the print settings revert, or aren't defaulting to "settings last used", my batch attempt was unsuccessful. I know I could edit my action to adjust image size to page dimensions, but thought a way to edit the Print settings default must be out there somewhere. (Using MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4) Any Suggestions?

    Unfortunately "Scale to Fit Media" isn't a toggle. But let's try a workaround.
    You can create an Image Size action where you will scale the picture to either 8.5 inches wide or 11 inches high, whichever works best for you. First be sure "resampling" is turned off under Image > Image Size.
    You would open an iimage, then create an new action, title it "Letter 11 inches" and that's when the recording starts.
    Enter 11 inches as the Height, click OK and then stop recording.
    This is a quick and dirty action and assumes all pictures are portrait and not landscape. It may just work for you.
    You should be able to include it in your batch processing.

  • Photoshop CS6 printing with Mac OS 10.10.2

    I recently attempted to print a 13x19 photo on a Canon PIXMA 9500MarkII color printer using CS6.  The printer driver continually reported an paper since error.  Eventually, I gave up and tried to print the same photo with Apple's Preview application and it worked.
    I contacted Canon support and they responded that the printing with Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.6 x64 is not compatible with OS 10.10.2. 
    Does anyone have a solution or know if Adobe will be updating CS6?

  • Photoshop CS6 printing size issue

    I'm having a strange issue. Just upgraded to CS 6 and was able to print with no issues for a few weeks.
    Yesterday I tried to print a file I had printed the day prior with no issus, to find that the document size appearing in the print dialogue box was VERY large. My document size is 11x17 with a resolution of 300, and the print box shows it as a tiny image in the middle of a page 77.264 in x 49.986 in.
    If I try to print this scale, nothing shows up on my printer. If I fit to scale and try to print the document size, it's printing huge (400% larger)
    My print settings are correct, thought maybe it was a driver issue but I'm having the same issue on another printer I use, so it seems to be coming from Photoshop. I trashed my preferences on startup, but the issue remains. I can't figure out what's going on. Here's a screen shot
    Additional info: Other documents having the same issue in Photoshop CS6 when trying to print.
    Document prints fine in CS5 and Illustrator CS6.

  • Photoshop CS6 Printing whites as yellows

    When printing from photoshop CS6 whites are coming out as yellows.
    I print as follows;
    Color Handling: Photoshop Manages Colors
    Printer Profile: EPSON Stylus Pro 4800
    Normal Printing
    Rendering Intent: Absolute Colorimetric
    (I need these settings as I print from sepcific palettes)
    In Print settings I print on Custom Mode with no color adjustment.
    I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and believe there must be an option somewhere to do with white handling I've missed.
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Why are you using absolute colorimetric? Are you trying to proof printing on a paper that is much more yellow than what you are printing on?
    If you are not trying to proof printing on another paper, use Relative Colorimetric.

  • Photoshop CS6: Printing Problem

    From time-to-time, I seem to have had a temporary printing issue with Photoshop Elements 8, whereby the photo I was trying to print would not be printed completely, but part of it would be cut off, as if the printer's print-head would not be receiving the data from Photoshop past a certain point in one particular plane.
    Up to this morning, I had never encountered any printing issue with Photoshop CS6, which I have had, and printed with, for the past 6 months or so. This morning, however, I encountered the same issue, for the first time, using Photoshop CS6. It is now printing properly again, but why do I occasionally encounter this with either software?
    When I normally print, I like to print photos to exact sizes, but which vary greatly, and so I prefer the technique of creating a new blank A4-sized document and dragging my photo into this document and, by using Free Transform, size the photo to my exact requirements, before printing onto good quality A4 glossy or sometimes matte paper.
    What happened this morning was that, using the technique above, I was trying to print a very small passport-sized photo over to the right-hand side of a sheet of A4 paper, with the blank document in the portrait orientation. My photo was only partially printed, and cut off past a certain point in the horizontal plane. By dragging my photo further towards the centre of the blank A4-sized document and reprinting onto the same sheet of A4 worked fine. After experimenting a little by printing the photo in various places on the same sheet of A4, I discovered that the photo was not printing past a certain point, in the horizontal plane, towards the right-hand side of the sheet of A4. This cut off point was consistent in every printing attempt. There was a certain point to the right-hand side of the sheet of A4, where, in the horizontal plane, it would simply not print past. By measuring this cut off point in the horizontal plane, it is 4.8cm from the right-hand edge of the sheet of A4, in its portrait orientation.
    After resetting all tools, turning the PC and printer off and then on again, launching Photoshop CS6 and retrying, it seems to be printing correctly again, and I am able to print my photo anywhere on the sheet of A4, without anything being cut off past a certain point.
    Has anybody had the same issue with Photoshop CS6 (or Elements 8)?
    Does anybody have any ideas as to the possible causes(s)?

    Yes, you're right, that would help wouldn't it !
    The printer is old, having been discontinued (here in the UK, at least) years ago. I still have a large quantity of the printer inks for this model, which is one of the reasons for me not getting something newer. No doubt, the printer inks where you are, are ridiculously expensive too! As I am very happy with this printer's print quality, as long as you always use the highest quality settings for the type of paper you are using, it doesn't make sense, to me, to ditch it just because it is an old model.

  • Printer profiles not recognised in Photoshop CS6 print dialogue

    Note that the Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat print dialogues see all my (custom) printer profiles.
    Even Photoshop sees them in the Apply Profile and Convert to Profile dialogues: just not when trying to print.
    Is this a known problem?

    Thanks, Jeff. This issue goes far beyond Adobe. I'm trying to resolve colorspace problems that get even more confusing when there are multiple web pages or other documents at multiple websites, including software companies and camera companies that have conflicting information for the same thing. I don't want to add something else into the mix that may make things worse. Unless the user can have the settings that they know worked on their device to rely on as a point of reference to make controlled changes to accommodate a software change, it's like taking two handfulls of M&Ms to represent various colorspaces in three places in a program and using trial and error to figure out which two or three colors to use and in which order. I think of this as informative dialog and not venting.
    Update: After burning through another color ink cartridge and 20 more sheets of Kodak glossy photo paper, I managed to come up with a combination of profiles and colorspaces that are acceptable with the Kodak ESP9 printer in PS CS6. While Adobe RGB should work from the Nikon D7000 JPEG for a larger color gamut, with the Kodak printer, the colors were dull. Went back to sRGB in the camera and sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for the working RGB profile. In this printer, color management cannot be disabled in the printer itself, so I selected Adobe RGB. In the PS Print Settings Color Management, PS Manages Colors,  and the Printer Profile is Beta RGB (Adobe RGB is not an available choice). After increasing the photo brightness to about +20, the contrast slightly, and increasing the shadows setting to bring out the shadowed areas somewhat, the printed photo is a close match to the on-screen image on the calibrated LED monitor. When I tried CIE RGB, the colors were more saturated but had too much blue. Maybe this will help others.

  • Gray color prints as brown using Photoshop CS6

    I reformatted my computer and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 service pack 1 and installed Photoshop CS6 and when I print my work the color gray prints as brown and the yellow green has a shade of brown in it as well so its darker. I did calibrate my monitor, I use sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as ICC profile and RGB in working spaces, and US Web Coated v2 as CMYK. I changed the mode to CMYK 16 bit and proof setup to Working CMYK. In printer setting I set the color handling to Photoshop manages colors and set it to hardproofing. I did match it with the color management in display settings. What am I missing? What else should I do? I think my Epson T1100 printers are fine because they both print the same color gray as brown so it must be in Photoshop where the problem is, but I'm stuck now and don't know what to do. Please anyone help me? This is frustrating..Before I reformatted I was using Photoshop CS5 and my prints are fine but when I reformatted and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and Photoshop CS6 the printing problems starts, I reinstalled Photoshop CS5 but the print outs still has problems, color gray prints as brown..By the way, I print on white bond papers and white box boards, so color blending is not the case I'm sure..If anyone have anymore solution, please let me know? Thank you very much in advance.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions. I did what you suggested. I also downloaded and used the WhackedRGB image and its profile but the result of the print out didn't change. The gray still has brown or reddish brown tint on it. Other colors are off as well. Here's what I did with the settings:
    And here is the scanned result of the print out:
    I did try to use other document profiles and printer profiles to ther documents, experimented a bit but this is the best print result I came up with, with regards to color accuracy, as you can see, the gray is way off and also the other colors..I don't know if there's a bug in PS CS6 or something. I reformatted twice already and installed everything with fresh copy and still this persist..
    Another thing, when I tried to print the Whacked document for the first time this window popped up, I just clicked ok and then ctrl+P again and the print settings appeared with no problem and so I was able to print it..But does this mean CS6 is not compatible with my printer and I have to use previous version of Photoshop? But I did try reinstalling PS CS5 but the prints were the same as with CS6..I'm confused.

  • How to print with NO COLOR MANAGEMENT in Photoshop CS6

    Hi,
    I have been trying to print a target from i1Profiler so I can read it with my i1Pro and create a printer profile, but no matter what I do, there is no way to get photoshop from supplying a profile while printing. I tried to select Printer handles color and then put the printer driver in COLOR MANAGEMENT OFF (seemed to me this would disable both the printer managing color and photosbop managing color). Tried printing this way ( and many other ways) but NO SOLUTION --- the prints are EXTREMELY different from the on-screen view (which is in a properly profiled Apple monitor) and they actually look like the ones with a profile chosen.
    I also tried the utility Adobe Color Printer Utility and same results!!
    I am using an EPSON Stylus Pro 7900 that I just purchased.
    Please help

    The key here is to actually actually go ahead and print the target from i1Profiler to your printer...in the Test Chart panel, create the test chart and click on Print instead of Save As. As long as you have the correct page size set in the Page Setup, you should get an accurate printer target to read. Depending on how many patches you have set, it may take a few pages but they will be properly formated for reading with the i1Pro...

  • Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them

    Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 both will not allow me to print from them. InDesign will, but illustrator keeps popping up with "can't print the illustration." i have read other forums and i understand outlining typefaces, and spot colors but, it still will not allow me to print. Even if i open a completely new file and just try to print a black square it will not allow it. the problem might have started with an emailed EPS file? but im not 100 percent sure. i have disconnected and re connected the printer but the problem just seems as if all Illustrator, and Photoshop files will not print from the program and the connection with the printer is non existent (even though it says it is). please help!

    Reset your illustrator prefs
    Hold fingers over Shift Alt CTLR (PC) or Shift Opt Command (Mac)
    Boot Illustrator
    Immediately after booting depress the 3 keys as fast as you can.

  • Photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point

    photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden.  happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point.  i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.

    You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
    A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
    So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
    Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working - when printing

    I get the message “Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working” regularly when I try to print a Photoshop document.  I end up having to recreate the document which usually then prints even though I have just dragged the layers across.  How can I resolve this?

    Hi there! Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum, where you'll get more specialized help.

  • 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

  • Photoshop CS6 on a Mac using an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 printer.

    Installed Photoshop CS6 on a Mac Version 10.9.4. Installed an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 printer. When I try to print through Photoshop the dialogue box won't give the option to color manage. I followed the link suggested in the print dialogue box but that was for CS5 and said it will only work with TIFF files. I work with .psd files. I downloaded it but my Mac will not let me open it. Any help would be most appreciated. Mary Ellen

    From Chris Cox: If you choose "Photoshop manages color", then Photoshop is managing the color and the printer driver is supposed to disable it's color controls (and let Photoshop manage the color).
    If Photoshop is managing the color, then there is nothing else for the printer driver to do - so it grays out it's own color controls because they don't apply while Photoshop is managing the color.

  • Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
    Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
    I hope that will work.
