Photosmart 8750 - how to avoid white edges on print? And how to match colors from monitor to print?

Hi all! I´m new here so I hope I ask this in the right forum. Please advice me if this should be in another sub-forum..
First: The white edges around my photos when printed:
I can´t figure out how to avoid the white edges when I print my photos.
If I print in A3 size (or any other size) there´s always the white edges around my photos on the print, and it´s really annoying.
I make the size in Photoshop (CS4 extended) so that the photo matches the size of the printing paper, but still it gets adjusted when printing so I get the white edges.
I either print directly from PS or from Windows Photoviewer. (I have Windows 7).
In PS in the printing dialog box it says Scale to fit media, when I tick this and also have the Show Paper White ticked, it appears that the photo goes exactly as the size is set, but then I can see a thin white edge on top of it, illustrating that the photo will be printed with a white edge on top. If I untick the Scale to fit media, the photo appears to be cut a great deal before printed, so this will destroy my image.
I usually print from Windows Photoviewer as the colours in PS turns out more different than when saved and printed from Windows. (My next question). In Windows Photoviewer I only have the option Fit to frame, but in the preview it doesn´t look like any of those two options will give a borderless print.
In the printers dialoge box for the Paper/Quality I only use the option for A3 HP glossy photopaper, but I see there are other options such as Photo without edges A3, but then the size says 423x303mm which is slightly bigger than the size of the photo.
Also there´s a box to tick under it, Print without edges and under it Automatic fit without edges.
Is it something here I should tick or untick?
What options should I use to get it to print and fill the whole paper?
Second: How to get the same colours on my print as it shows on my monitor?
I have tried figuring out this, but I gave up. Though I know there´s something about the Profile´s, just not how to set them..
As already said, the colours looks quite different when printed directly from PS than saved as .jpg and printed from Windows Photoviewer. In colours the print is closer to the actual colours when printed from Windows than from PS, but BW photos is quite far from as seen on the monitor when printed, from both of them.
Instead of this nice warm "brownish" hue seen on my monitor, it´s printed with a greenish hue. Really annoying as I spend a lot of time working on my photos to get them as I like.
In the printer´s dialog box (in Windows) I have disabled the ICM colour management.
In PS dialog box I´m sure there´s something to do different under the Color Management, but I don´t know what.
Also there´s probably something different in my monitor´s profile that differs from the printer and PS?
Anyone who can help with either one or both of my problems??
That would be highly appreciated so thanks so much in advance!

How to make color from greyscale images?

I have got a few photos into greyscale. How can I make them back to any color I want? thanks,

You can use the Smart Brush tool, the one with the gears, select color from the drop-down, and paint.
You can make selections of various objects, place a Hue/saturation adjustment layer above each selection, clip the adjustment layer to the selection, and in the H/S layer tick the colorize box. Adjust the sliders to suit.
If you want more targeted guidance, post a representative file here for us to look at.

How to show colors from servlet

How to match color on g4 ibook for projector or TV

I'm doing an on screen iphoto slideshow presentation for an upcoming event on a projector via VGA. We did a test run yesterday with my ibook g4 1.33 (OS 10.4.9) hooked up to a Viewsonic PJ-750-2 Projector. The color was awful. Tried a custom calibration with no success.
The color issue looked the same as when I make a slideshow DVD to view on a TV. Horrible yellow cast and and over saturated.
When I got back home, I was curious to see how it would look if I hooked the ibook up to a television, via RGB with an Apple video adapter. The images looked exactly the same as on screen through the projector. Horrible color, and over saturated.
I'm guessing I really need to do a custom calibration? If I don't succeed in that respect, I can always edit each image while viewing on TV, but that's the long way. Is there another common issue that I'm not aware of?
I'm a newbie at using external displays, and have my ibook display custom calibrated for print publications that I work for using Photoshop CS2. The files that I send them match perfectly when I see them in print.
Also, any suggestions on projector display resolution and refresh rate?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I've search the forums, but didn't find an answer. Any additional advice is welcome.
ibook g4 1.33 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Emac g4, imac g3, powerbook g3

Yellow cast and oversaturated sounds like a bad cable connection. Tried cleaning both ends? Checking broken pins?
also try resetting pram, nvram, etc.
try selecting default mode on the displays
OSX provides pretty good default profiles for most displays.

How do I copy and paste a gradient color from one document and then use the gradient on another document?

I am making business cards. On the back of the cards there are two lines with gradients. Below is a card with a magenta gradient. I want to select both lines and change the magenta gradient to the orange gradient from the file below. How do I do this? (I do not want to copy a paste the orange lines and then move them over the magenta ones.) I just want to select the magenta lines and change their color to the orange gradient. This will insure absolute alignment. I want to do repeat the process with several other gradients too. Thank you.

David,
As I (mis)understand it, you may:
1) Copy one orange gradient path to the magenta gradient path document;
2) Select the two magenta gradient paths and change the Fill to None;
3) Select the orange gradient path;
4) Select the two magenta gradient paths and change the Fill to Gradient.
That should give you the desired replacement. For multiple use of the same gradient, you may consider a gradient swatch.

How to match colors between 2 photos?

Hi everyone!
I'm faced with a problem here. I made myself a Grey/Color card, having it developped at the local photo store. I know it's not the best solution, but I couldn't get my hand on a 100$ ColorChecker, I'm broke! (20¢ a picture is quite a good deal!)
Here is the default file I used for my photos:
And once I take my picture (Ok, this one is from my laptop screen, but it's only for example purpose) it loks like this
Is there an easy / quick way to have the color match? Is it possible to make an easy color profile, since the colors are pure (W,18% Gray,Bk,C,M,Y) in my default picture? Even if I try to have the white balance on, or try to modify the hue and saturation, the results in the CMY aren't matching. Since we have a color we know the value, it should be easier to fix it, no?
If you could point me in any (free) direction to solve my problem, that would be grand!
Thanks!

I was thinking (I'm going on a limp, here!) that IF I had a reference picture (see above), in a computer generated format, and the same pattern that I took a picture of, that I could tell LR that, let's say Magenta, is supposed to look like the one I have on my PC. and it would adjust the colors accordingly. Building a ColorProfile on the cheap would maybe best describe what I want to achieve, but only for a batch of pictures, not for the camera. (Once we sell the jewels, I promise to get a real ColorChecker and stop bugging you guys!)
Sorry to be discouraging, but I think your concept is fuzzy and ill conceived.
Basically, your task requires excellent color management. Product photography (where color matters a lot), just can't be done very well at the $0.20/print level. You need skills and equipment for lighting and image capture. Editing should be done using a calibrated monitor, and printing done with a profiled printer. The image you showed reflects a serious lack of of color management.
If you succeed at what I think you are describing, your images would lose the photographic quality of continuous and subtle color gradation. They would more closely resemble posters or cartoons than photographs. Even though a jewel stone may technically be a single uniform color, a good photo reveals the effects of it's surroundings, lighting, and surface effects (reflections, polarization), and shows the stone as multiple colors. Often those colors are similar, but they are never all the same.
In any case if you still want to go down the path of "block" colors, LR is the wrong tool. Try Photoshop, which makes it relatively easy to select a range of similar colors and convert them to a single color.

How to Isolate Color from Background

I have the color seprated but now I need to know how to remove everything else so it is just the green lettering. Here is a still from the video.
Any help would be greatley appreciated.

Typically you would use Keying effects. If you can't get clean keys you may need to use some masking or rotobrush to rotoscope your object.

How to change color from default black in JS and still retain fade effect?

Hi, I have got some java script that fades in some text on loading. It is working but I cant seem to change the color and retain the fade in effect. Any ideas? I am using CS5.
I think it is something in here that needs changing?
<script language="javascript">
col=255;
function fade() { document.getElementById("fade").
style.color="rgb(" + col + "," + col + "," + col + ")"; col-=40; if(col>20) setTimeout('fade()', 300); }
</script>

Try changing this -
if(col>20)
to this -
if(col>90)
and see what happens.

How to: DNG colors from pentax camera are completely different in camera raw compared to pentax soft

Hi all, i have a problem.
I always used adobe camera raw to manage RAW files. I find it really fast and friendly compared to many other programs (i mean lightroom, pentax digital camera utility, DxO optics pro, Silkypix, etc.). It has no rivals, on my macbook pro it is absolutely faster than others.
BUT i found a lot of differences comparing colors (not just tone, but definition inside an object with similar colors) from a DNG using camera raw vs pentax digital camera utility 4. It is a know problem by pentax people. You can check (without the camera) the problem here (see the colorcheker chart): http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentaxkx/page14.asp
I can post examples of what i mean speaking of "definition inside an object with similar colors"...
I always use the "embedded" camera profile in camera raw, finding it more similar to the pentax software. The adobe standard is really different.
Is there a way i can bypass this issue? using pentax digital software is really boring…it's unfriendly, SLOW, with bad light adjustments and interface.
I tried opening the DNG with pentax software and converting it to tiff: the colors are ok, but you lose a lot adjusting light etc.
thank you all

> I don't know anything, and haven't read anything, about the unique characteristics of Pentax DNG files.
firmware in cameras that can create raw files in .DNG format (Pentax, Samsung, Ricoh, Leica) will write so called DNG profile in those raw files (see Sandy's comments) - those profiles are not identical to what Adobe creates to use w/ ACR/LR, but they also can be used by Adobe raw converters (you will get a little different colors)... you can extract those profiles from native DNG raw files for example using Adobe DNG profile editor... in addition, Pentax cameras (modern) can create raw files either in their own PEF format or in DNG format and Pentax suppied software (DCU) can in fact create DNG files from PEF files and unlike Adobe DNG converter DCU will do that w/o discarding any information and it will write Pentax DNG profile in those converted DNG files.

How to add colors from one doc to another in CS2

I thought I could pull a text frame with text and colors in fill background out to the sideboard to create a snippet but it didn't work.
Is this only in CS3? or what is the easiest way to transfer swatches between docs?

Unable to change black default setting in Win IDCS2.
Somehow, I managed to change the default black swatch to a value other than black--and I can't get rid of it! I didn't think it was possible to change this default black setting, but I did, and now everything--type and graphics--has shifted to that value. I'm trying to print to monochrome. The PDF file of all documents I print reflect that color PMS output value, even though I set the output to "composite gray, text as black." I've tried to import the swatches palate from previous documents, but that doesn't change the black setting. What can I do to get my default black setting back?
Thanks, Mike

How to 'remove color' from a selection?

I plan to get PSE (Mac) soon but need to ask a question
before...
Say I have a .jpeg, or .tiff (color image) open.
I then make a selection of a rectangle or some other shape over the image.
Is it possible to 'remove the color' or select gray scale
within the selected shape, so that there is then the
original image with the selection in monochrome
and the rest in the original color?
many thanks

Come back when you're ready and someone can tell you some of the ways to do it. No point in going into that till you have the program in front of you.

Not sure how to match color more closely...use Pantone?

HI,
I've done everything possible to get a certainly red color I want in my ID manuscript, from setting color profiles, snyching across applications, monitor calibration, soft-proofing etc.etc etc. What I see on my monitor with the publishers profiles is NOT what I'm getting on my printer (R1900). I guess that's to be expected.
The publisher has it's own CMYK profile for their printer so i can't use theirs. There are so many different ways to configure printer management from letting ID manage color, using various Epson settings....all this stuff. Even if I get the color right on my printer, that doesn't mean it'll match the publishers, so why even try to get it right on my printer?
Actually, my document may even print fine with the publishers. Not being able to have more reassurance of the publishers outcome leaves me queasy! But I guess I have to play my hand.
So is the only way to know is wait for the hard copy? what about using Pantone? I don't know anything about that, but aren't they for spot colors, or at least I could find something closer that way. If there is a color I like, use those numbers rather than the ones I am.
Ideas?

Color management is an attempt to put into play .icc color profiles. This starts in your application's color settings. But, working with your print vendor is the best policy in preparing your files and getting what you want consistently. The Epson R1900 is a photographic printer. It is not an inkjet proofing device like an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 with a Colorburst RIP. I sense that, because the R1900 is not backed up with a RIP, you'd benefit from "Let InDesign determine color". However, the print driver is responsible for interpreting the information supplied from the application in an attempt to convert that info to an actual print. The challenge for you and your applications, along with your hardware limitations, is to give you a reasonable "red" that you are looking for. In short, you would benefit from assigning a Pantone Spot color for the specific Red you are looking for. The only problem is getting that Red to print on your R1900. And, the only way to get that to happen is using CMYK equivalents which you have been wrestling with. In a RIP ( Raster Image Processor ) scenario, you would use the printer's profile in the Print setup dialogs. Let's assume they are using "SWOP Coated v2 Sheetfed". You would assign that profile in your application's Color Settings under CMYK Workspace. Then, in your "Print" dialog, you'd set the same profile in the CMYK print space. But, in a RIP scenario, you'd let the RIP determine color rather than the application. That's the value of a RIP over a photographic printer where color matching is not a priority. It sounds like you'd benefit using a Pantone Spot. If you decided to use a Pantone Spot Red in your document, you would need the RIP and Proffer to produce an accurate color matched conversion in the Print process. With your current setup you will get mixed results from your print vendor. In any case, at a minimum, you should get a contract proof before you approve the project for press. This will give you an opportunity to adjust the CMYK equivalents or finalize a decision to go Pantone Spot before the job is ultimately printed. Now, again, a Postscipt Level 3 RIP matched up to a professional printer/proofer will convert your file's assigned Pantone "Red" Spot color and, in the case of the Epson Stylus Pro 3880, the printer will use it's 8 internal ink sets to produce a relatively close match to your Spot color.
"I've done everything possible to get a certainly red color I want in my ID manuscript, from setting color profiles, snyching across applications, monitor calibration, soft-proofing etc.etc etc. What I see on my monitor with the publishers profiles is NOT what I'm getting on my printer (R1900). I guess that's to be expected."
Yes. Get a hardcopy proof instead of relying on the R1900.
"The publisher has it's own CMYK profile for their printer so i can't use theirs. There are so many different ways to configure printer management from letting ID manage color, using various Epson settings....all this stuff. Even if I get the color right on my printer, that doesn't mean it'll match the publishers, so why even try to get it right on my printer?"
It would help, if you continue to do this type of work, to get a desktop proofer like the one I've mentioned in my post. You want to "try" to get color matched output so that you are communicating what it is you want before getting to the printer, especially if you have an internal approval process you have to go through.
"Actually, my document may even print fine with the publishers. Not being able to have more reassurance of the publishers outcome leaves me queasy! But I guess I have to play my hand."
Not necessarily. Get the proof. You do not want 200,000 copies of your manuscript floating around out there with a rose pink instead of a flaming red.
"So is the only way to know is wait for the hard copy? what about using Pantone? I don't know anything about that, but aren't they for spot colors, or at least I could find something closer that way. If there is a color I like, use those numbers rather than the ones I am."
Yes. A Pantone Spot color is actually a very smart decision. And your InDesign document must be setup using that Spot color, not CMYK. For instance, let's say you settle on Pantone 206C for the cover and Pantone 206U for the uncoated text pages ( if any ). It's a simple 2-color job. Black + Pantone 206. If you want to print the file on your R1900, then you will convert a swatch using 0%C, 100%M, 30%Y, 3%K in a COPY of your Spot Color file. Send the Pantone Spot Color file to the publisher and keep the COPY in your folder for reference if need be.
This is my recommendation and I know it will work for you. Should the publisher insist on using a CMYK color mix, let them do it and supply you with a hardcopy proof before it goes to press. This is avery important no matter what you decide. The proof is very important part of the entire process.

[solved] How to remove color from yaourt output?

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with removing color output from yaourt.
In order to get a list of installed packages in kdemod-core, I execute the following:
yaourt -Qs ^kdemod | grep kdemod-core | awk '{print $1}' > kdefiles.txt
Some time ago colored output was usually lost when piping commands. For some reason it is not removed anymore so that I get the following file content:
[1;35mkdemod-core/[0m[0m[1mkdemod-kde-common
[...] and so on
Of course pacman doesn't understand this anymore:
pacman -S `cat kdefiles.txt`
Btw. The same options (-Qs ) with pacman search only locally installed packages.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
David

pacman -Ss searches on-line.
Thanks, but then I don't have the packages that are installed. It is of course much faster and without color but doesn't solve my problem.
Then only thing I could find so far was a statement, that piping through less for example removes color for security reasons. That doesn't seem to be true any more.
There is a col command which outputs plain text but there are still characters left.

How can I print to HP Photosmart 8750 Professional printer?

Hello to all.
I have a G3 400 mhz. Blue and White, with Sonnet upgrade to G4 1 gig. Print jobs stopped on HP Photosmart 8750 Professional printer, possibly after upgrading to OS 10.4.10 (printer connected via USB). After reading discussions on this forum, I reset printer system, started from OS disk and repaired permissions and hard drive, ran Tech Tool Pro, did an Archive and Install, downloaded latest drivers from HP, etc. etc.
Now, in HP Setup Assistant, printer is not listed in window, therefore unable to continue with installation. Printer does not show up in Print and Fax and I cannot add printer, as the driver is never installed. Purchased a new USB 6 ft. cord (only 6 ft. allowed for this printer).
Have not used it, as I cannot plug it in until printer listed in window and recognized. Upgraded to 10.4.11, hoping it would solve problem. No such luck. Printed a sample page and test page, and printer worked. Please send detailed instructions, listing each step in successive order. Thank you for your efforts to solve this problem.
Versatile Lady

10.4.x supports the 8700 printer series and has a driver built in for it.
It will not hurt the printer to plug it into the computer at anytime. I have the hp Photosmart 3310 and it doesn't give a hoot about this.
I would do this.
Do this without the hp installation program.
Restart the computer,
restart the printer.
plug the printer into the mac and see if the mac will find it with these instructions.
This is Apple's instructions
1. Disconnect and reconnect every cable between the computer and the printer. Make sure all cables are firmly inserted.
2. USB printers only: Switch the USB cable connection from the current USB port to another USB port.
3. USB printers only: Open Apple System Profiler and click the Devices and Volumes tab. If the printer still does not appear, try a different cable.
4. Try to print again.
Once the printer connects you may want to install any specific hp stuff off the disk.
