Photoshop Elements 8 - screen color

I just installed Photoshop Elements 8 on my PC (Windows XP) and found that white objects (like a sheet of paper) have a greenish hue. Essentially.. whites look green.
Have a missed something in installing Photoshop Elements 8?

Is your monitor calibrated?

Printing with HP B9180 and Photoshop Elements 8 and Color Management

I've got a bit of confusion about certain settings in the printing process and I've posted a rather long discussion of my 'issues' and confusion. I hope someone can give me some guidance here. I've seen a lot of these issues addressed in many places but I can't seem to find an integrated response. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and respond.
Color Management Questions
My problems started when I was getting pictures that were too dark from my HP 9180 printer after having gotten very nice prints for a long time. I had obviously started to do something differently inadvertently. The only thing I think that is different is that I got a new 23 inch monitor, which does produce much brighter on-screen images. So, I started to do some research and know just enough about color management to be slightly confused and have some questions that I hope someone can give me some help with.
Equipment Background
I use both a Canon 20D and a Canon PowerShot SD600 camera. Both have the default color space as sRGB, although the 20D can be also set as RGB.
I also use Photoshop Elements 8, where there are a variety of settings possible for printing.
My monitor is an HP S2331, whose color space is sRGB and cannot be reset to RGB (I think) except for temperature; the default is 6500K.
My printer is an HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printer, where there are also a variety of settings possible.
I’m running XP-Pro.
Here’s Where I Get Confused
Everything I have read about color management (various web sites, forums, books, etc) says to have the image, monitor, and printer all in the same color space.
Everything I read about PSE 8 (same sources) says to set PSE 8 to ‘Always Optimize for Printing’ under Edit>Color Settings in order to get the best prints. This displays photos based on the Adobe RGB color space.
I am taking pictures in sRGB, and telling PSE 8 to process them in RGB by selecting ‘Always Optimize for Printing’. Is this something I should be concerned about? Should I reset my camera for RGB?
Further, by selecting ‘Always Optimize for Printing’, I am setting PSE 8 for RGB while my monitor displays sRGB. Is this an important issue or is it also much ado about technicalities that an amateur should not worry about? It does violate the ‘keep them in the same color space’ rule.
Next, when I go to File>Print and get the Print window and then do the Page Setup and Select Printer, I then go to More Options in the lower left of the window. Under the More Options window, I select Color management and select Photoshop Elements Manages Colors. Next, there is Image Space, which is fixed and not subject to selection from a drop down menu.
I understand that this is the image space of the image I took with my camera and that information is embedded in the image. Correct?
Next, there is Printer Profile. But, from what I have read, this is where the IEC profile of the paper being printed on is supposed to be selected, isn’t it?
Shouldn’t this more appropriately be called Paper Profile, or Printing Media Profile? Further, this drop down menu appears to be somewhat erratic, sometimes showing all of the paper profiles I believe are loaded, sometimes not. It also shows listings such as Working RGB-Adobe RGB (1988), Adobe RGB 1988, Dot Gain 10%, 15%.... along with a lot of paper profiles. Aren’t those profiles unnecessary here?
I’ve used both Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual Rendering and am happy with either one.
Next, when I go to Printer Preferences, in order to “…disable color management in the printer preferences dialog”, under the Color Tab, I select Application Managed Colors from the Color management drop down menu, and also have the option of selecting ColorSmart/sRGB and Adobe RGB (1988).
Is there any time when I should use either ColorSmart/sRGB or Adobe RGB (1988)? If I were staying with my camera’s sRGB setting, given the fact that the monitor is sRGB, would the appropriate selections be ‘Printer Manages Colors’ and ‘ColorSmart/sRGB’?
Finally, under the Features Tab, I go to look for the same paper I selected under Printer Profile (Question 4 above). If it is one of the pre-loaded (by HP) profiles, it is there, but if it is a profile I downloaded, say for an Ilford paper, it isn’t listed, and I need to guess at an equivalent type of paper to select.
Is there any way to get that listing to appear under the Paper Type drop down menu?
I know that this is a long post, but it helped me to clarify my ‘issues’. Thank you for any and all suggestions, answers, guidance and help.

RIK,
Some printers have long names, esp. HP printers, and PSE gets ":confused." In control panel>devices and printers, right click on the default printer, go to printer properties, and rename the default printer to something short, e.g. "Our Printer." That may fix it..

Photoshop Elements 9 Brush / Color Picker Problem

Hello,
I have been using Photoshop Elements 9 for more than a year, and recently I have been experiencing a glitch/malfunction of some sort with the color picker and hard mechanical brush tool.
As you can see in my example above, there are two things wrong: 1.) When the brush is painted, little grey crescents appear between the individual strokes of the brush. These appear even when I do not release the mouse button when painting. However, it only happens on a specific layer, and not on any other layer - in this case the layer entitled 'skin'.
The second malfunction is the color picker/foreground and background colors. As you can see, the foreground color selected in the example does not match the last color I painted (color splotch to the far left). The color that was actually painted was a far more saturated version of the selected color. Again, this only occurs on the 'skin' layer as well.
(My brush settings are: Fade: 0 Hue Jitter: 0 Scatter: 0 Spacing: 1 Hardness: 100)
Though these "glitches" are occurring often recently, I have found a temporary solution. Switching to another layer, then painting on it, then switching back to the malfunctioning layer seems to temporarily rid me of this issue. Yet and still, I would appreciate any permanent solution suggestions.
Thanks,
- Illustrator

Delete the editor's preferences: quit it, then restart it (use the button in the welcome screen or organizer) while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Photoshop elements 9 screen flickers

Hello,
I have photoshop elements 9 on a desktop computer. Lately when working with photos, the window in editor shifts and jumps around. I have an intel i3 and 6gb ram I have a graphics cards (Nividia gt240). The photos that I work with have an average file size of 6.5mb. Is this being caused by ram or is the video card acting up? Does anyone else have similar problems and if so have they found a way around it?
Thank You Very Much

Photoshop Elements 11/ Missing Color Profile CMYK - Does anybody know why + what to do?

I am missing the color profile CMYK in the elements software I use.
I need to convert some data form RGB to CMYK.
Is there a setting I may change?
Thanks for helping
Regards,
ChrizB

If you only need to do this once, the easiest thing is to ask your printer to do it for you. They'll probably charge you something, but at least it will be done right. Properly converting to CMYK is considerably more complex than, say, converting from sRGB to Adobe RGB. There are a number of third party options for doing this--I think irfanview will do it in windows, and preview does it for macs, but those are pretty basic conversions that don't allow you to adjust for out of gamut colors.

Elements 6 screen color change

Is there a way to change the dark color of the program on my computer? The dark colors make it difficult to see the brushes menu as they are in black and other menu items?
Can the print be made larger also?
I could not find any controls to change the program's color or text size.
Thanks.

There is no way to change the colors of the PSE 6 user interface. This was such a bad design that Adobe fixed it in PSE 7. Some palliatives:
1. Adjust your display's brightness and contrast using a grey-scale chart such as this:
http://www.photofriday.com/calibrate.php
2. Calibrate the display using a device such as the Huey or Spyder, which is a good thing anyway to get accurate colors.
3. When you open the brushes pallette, click on the double right-arrow in the upper-right corner and select Stroke Thumbnail:

If i sign out (go offline) in Adobe Photoshop Elements, a screen tells me the software will be deactivated.

Does this mean I lose functionality when I work offline? But I made a onetime purchase and the software took about 2 hours to download..

Should have mentioned that the only downside to keeping PSE offline is that a lot of the content in the graphics panel must be downloaded the first time you use it, so you would lose access to that on an offline machine. Once you download it you can use it offline, though. It's too bad there isn't a 'get it all' button.

Photoshop Elements 8 crashes when "EDIT" opens from Welcome screen

When Photoshop Elements 8 is launched from the shortcut on the desktop, welcome screen opens and at the bottom it shows "gathering user info....". It keeps doing it as long as I don't click on edit button. When I click on edit button, the edit windows opens with my name and soon it crashes and closes the program. After the program closes, it opens a crash report window which I submitted to Adobe three days ago. I am still awaiting for the response. Sometimes, instead of closing the program, it crashes my computer and a blue screen shows up. In this case, I have to shut down the computer and restart again.
I thought I can reinstall the proram but this software would not allow me uninstall either. When I click on "remove" button on the program in the control panel, a window pops up with a message " this action is only valid for products that are currently installed".
Any help from Adobe technician is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Following could be the possible workarounds :
1)      On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
         Go to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
            Now launch PSE and check if it works.
2) Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
3) In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall.

Photoshop Elements 8 Crashes On Splash Screen

Photoshop Elements does this to me whenever I try to open it now. It worked fine yesterday and as far as I know I haven't installed anything new other than a couple of photographs off the internet. I am currently running windows 7 64 bit on Windows 2000 sceme. What do I do?

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

Not knowing how it worked, I tried the context sensitive help in light blue. 'Learn More About'
This would not load but gave me this response:-

This 'help' seems to work everywhere else [well at least in the places I have tried so far.]
So why is this? has anyone else had this specific area of HELP fail? I need to know is it just my system, is it accessing this HELP stuff over the net, or is it preloaded when you by the retail pack?
Course it would be in an area I can not make work!
Note Other areas of help in this general menu area work eg
i.e. the options either side of this all work fine.
Any views guidance welcome.
Other than reload the product! LOL I just don't have a spare week to waste getting it all going again!

Hi Nealeh
Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
The scenario is:- say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
"Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
So technology is not my friend today!

Photoshop Elements 11 editor no longer working

All of a sudden, when I try to open Photoshop Elements 11 Editor either through Aperture 3, from the Organizer or from the dock, just get the spinning color wheel. Have to force close. Editor used to work fine. Organizer still works fine. Using Apple OS 10.6.8. Only change is I recently purchased OnOne Perfect Suite 7. Also, run Nik Software usually from Aperture, which I recently upgraded. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: Try launching directly from exe 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe' from location C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\ . Right click on this exe file at this location and select run as admin.
Solution 3: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 4: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Thanks,
Garry

Photoshop Elements won't create a file, edit a file or save a file...

Hello all,
I just bought an Epson 600 scanner which came with a copy of Photoshop Elements (v7, but that's another question for another day). Was working fine for awhile (a few weeks) but now I'm unable to edit any files. This is on an Intel Mac Pro running Windows 7 (natively, not in VMWare) with 8 cores and 8 GB of RAM and terabytes of free disk space.
Here's a sample sequence of events:
1) Launch PE
     - Get selection screen for organize, Edit, Create, Share.
2) Select Edit
     - Launches editing workspace normally
3) Click File->Open
     - Get the file browser window with thumbnails (standard windows stuff)
4) Click a TIF file (or a JPG file) and click Open
     - File browser window closes and I'm taken back to the editing view but there's no picture. No sign that it did anything (all the menus that are greyed out when the editing screen is empty are still grey etc - including the File Save menu option)
5) Try to drag a file into the editing workbench from windows explorer (either a TIF file or a JPG)
     - Same behavior - switches back to the workbench, but everything is still greyed out and the file isn't there.
6) Try to create a new file
7) Click File->New
     - New file dialog pops up asking me to name and size it
8) Give it a random name and leave it at the default 6x4x300dpi and click OK
     - New file dialog goes away and returns me to the editing canvas, but it's still blank and all the menus remain greyed out
I get the exact same behavior if I try "Open As" or "Open recently edited files" etc
I AM running Symantec anti-virus and I've noticed some people mentioning that that can cause issues for Adobe, but turning it off really isn't an option. So if there's some rule I need to set up to allow some background process to talk, that's fine but I can't just disable it to use PE.
Is there any debugging log kept somewhere? (I suppose I could check this site more thoroughly for that info)
Any help or suggestions would be most welcome!
Thanks,
Jason

Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
try and let me know your comments.

Photoshop Elements 8.0 won't open, keep getting an Error message from windows

I am running Windows Vista on a toshiba laptop and I've owned the software for a little over a year now, everything was working quite fine the usual few crashes every once and a while. Though I had thought to myself oh well here it's time for some new photoshop brushes and fonts. So I went to sites such as Dafont.com and Deviantart.com to get brushes and fonts. Installed them all and tired to open up photoshop Elements afterwards and I kept getting an error message as shown in the picture.
Any help would be appericated, Also added information that may help, Yes I have tired removing the brushes out of the folder and running the program, and yes I have tried removing the fonts I installed. Neither worked. I also have not Restarted my laptop computer since I had installed that brushes/fonts.
Thank you for looking/reading/answering!
Have a nice day. (:

Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.
