Preview does not match printing

When I print a pages document it often leaves out graphics or text boxes. I check to make sure photo is in front and even delete photo and re position it. The image shows in preview but does not print. I sent the document as a PDF to a PC and the image printed correctly.

Hi McJPP,
You're using one of the built in color setups for Photoshop, so no big deal there. Since you have your monitor properly calibrated and profiled, ColorSync shouldn't be having an issue handling the difference between the image's color space and your monitor's. Questions though. Is the image RGB? Does it have an embedded profile? If so, is it Adobe RGB 1998? I'm assuming that it does since that's your working RGB color space in Photoshop.
The grab on the left is the preview copy using:
By preview, do you mean the Preview button on the print dialogue box at the bottom left next the the PDF button? I'm guessing yes since I can produce the same kind of result. It's a bit hard to explain, but I'll try.
I took a simple grayscale image and made it RGB. I then did the same thing you did. Left image is Photoshop handling color for an Epson Stylus Pro 4000, using a profile I made for a DuPont paper. Then clicking the Preview button when the print dialogue comes up. Right image is letting the printer handle color and clicking Preview. The result is below.
Believe it or not, there's nothing wrong. Photoshop (more accurately, ColorSync) is showing you what it had to do to the pixel color values to adjust for how the inks perform on the chosen paper. The end result, with proper profiles, is that the printed image looks like what you see in Photoshop regardless of how it shows in Preview mode. The Epson driver doesn't make this visible cue even though you've turned ColorSync on there, so it simply shows you the same thing you see in Photoshop, even though it's making the same adjustment to the pixel color values.
You should get essentially the same final output no matter which way you print the image.

  • Cropping preview does not match output, constrained sizes.

    I have two separate problems with the Crop tool. The first is that the crop preview does not match the what shows up after I exit crop mode.
    Screen shot of to the preview: tinyurl.com/o9qxcy
    After hitting "done": tinyurl.com/prtsrw
    What is really strange is that I can work around this by expanding the crop size to almost the full size (less ~1 pixel off the bottom) and iMovie crops to the width of the original clip. If I expand it to full size of the preview area the crop still slices to the width, but it is then centered.
    The second problem is that cropping will not let me expand the crop beyond a certain size. I have no work-around for this.
    Screenshot of the max size I can select with the crop tool: tinyurl.com/pjqjno
    Both of these happen both the project area and the clips drawer.

  • Color does not match printing in preview

    Printing a photo directly from iPhoto ('08) does not match the color on screen. Using an Epson 2200.
    The colors are dark and saturated. Maybe the problem is setting color management in the advanced dialog box- I have it set to: "No Color Adjustment" as per Epson.
    Is there a setting that is recommended? I can't find any help in help.
    I'm well aware of color management problems printing via Photoshop with the Epson printer.

  • Bridge preview does not match thumbnails

    We've just updated the OS, and had to re-install Bridge and Photoshop (CS4). Unfortunately, the preview doesn't match the thumbnail in Bridge, nor does it match the file when I open it in Photoshop. As far as I am aware, they are both set to the same color space. I have also toggled the "Apply auto tone adjustments" box on and off in preferences, and it seems to make no difference.
    This seems to be a new problem that has only occured since upgrading the OS.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

  • Color in Folio Preview does not match color in Workspace

    I'm a beginner trying to make a layout of several images. The source images are PDF's and I want to eventually save the layout as a new PDF. When I bring the images into my layout, the color in the workspace is identical to the color in the source PDF's. However, if I do Folio Preview, the color is slightly different. If I Export the layout to PDF, then the resulting PDF's colors match the Folio Preview but not the source images. I've tried disabling all the Color Management I could find, but I am a beginner and clearly have not found the necessary settings. Appreciate any help.

    Folio Preview is only for Digital Publishing Suite output and isn't the best way to preview. The most accurate color can be see if you choose View > Overprint Preview. You DON'T want to disable color management, in fact, I don't think you really can.

  • Printer output does not match Print Preview

    I'm just starting out with this and did a layout of some photos I took with captions. Using File>Print and then clicking "Preview in the resulting dialogue box shows that everything fits on the sheet of paper. HOWEVER, after printing the page, the bottom is cut off. What is the problem? The printer is an HP DeskJet 5150. As a work-around I've started doing the layouts as if the paper is 8" x 10".
    Also, what does the "Soft Proof" check box do in the Print Preview window?

    OK romad, the memory problem isn't the Macs but it could be the printers. I have seen this many years ago.
    You could also create a test page with one long line from top to bottom and print it. Does the problem still show?
    Does it happen if you print a full page photo from i.e. iPhoto directly.
    Do you still have AW on this machine? can you paste the content of your problem page into an AW page and print? What is the result?
    Somehow we need to do tests to pin down from where the problem is emanating from.
    I agree that AW does have a lot that isn't implemented in iWorks, but there are other features that are much better in Pages.

  • Preview Does Not Match Render

    I am trying to replace one of the credits in a pre-built roll. I have the original credits captured from HDCAM 1080 23.98 psf 10 bit uncompressed on v1. On v2 I have a black square that covers up the line I want to change. And on line 3 I am going to put the next text. The problem is, the placement of the black changes by almost an entire line when i render the sequence. I have made sure all my render settings are set to the highest quality. Why is Final Cut preview so inaccurate as to make what should be a simple task nearly impossible?

    Do you mean that your placement of black after it is rendered changes by a 'credit' line, or is it a 'pixel' line? Have you checked your sequence settings so that they are matching the correct resolution and aspect for your footage? Are you having to render your original video on the timeline without adding any extra layers or effects?

  • Muse Horizontal Preview does not match Design

    I am having an issue with the preview (in safari on mac and pc) not working correctly. The length of the site pages are working on longer pages, but not shorter pages. Everything is working fine on IE on my pc. I am attaching screen shots of the design and preview pages; and the existing site can be viewed at www.deklintech.com. I have been working on this for quite some time and have not been able to find a fix. Hopefully someone will be able to help?

    Hi Pamela,
    Can you please uncheck sticky footer from the site properties, because if sticky footer is enabled it stretches the length of the page so that the footer is always at the bottom of the screen.

  • Print Res Unchecked, Image does not match native resoltuion

    Many of my images already have their resolution and height/width dimensions set in PS. My understanding is that when the print resolution checkbox is unchecked in LR, then the image should be at its native resolution and size and will print the same size as when printed from PS.
    However, I find that when I uncheck the resolution checkbox, the image size as shown in LR Print module does not match the native resolution and size. For example a psd file in PS CS3 shows an image size of 16 x 10.25 @ 200 ppi. In LR the same image shows a print size of 15.3 x 9.81 @ 209 ppi. I have checked both tif and psd files, and similar discrepancies exist.
    I wonder if I am doing something wrong or misunderstanding something? Thanks for your help

    That was Page Setup, sorry (which actually opens a Print Setup dialogue, at least on a PC). There you can choose printer and paper size. Then in Layout panel you choose how to arrange the picture(s) within the page, and the combination of the two will determine the print size, right?
    Anyway, I believe I understand your concern now, which is about printing at 100% of the size indicated by the TIFF or PSD file, as PS can do. I did not find a way to direct LR to do the same.
    The Print Resolution, when unchecked, doesn't behave like you expect. If you check it, LR will re-sample the image to print it at the resolution you indicated there, whatever the output size. If you un-check it, LR will not re-sample the image; still it will re-size it based on your Page Setup and Layour settings, and the printer driver/printer will do the needed re-sampling. At least this is my understanding.

  • The software that you choose does not match the Selected Printer

    Hi Friends,
    I am trying to install a network Printer suing my Win Xp SP3 PC.
    Since there is no drivers installed in this PC, I tried to select Have Disk option in the Bonjour Printer Setup Wizard and selected the INF file provided by the Manufaturer. When i select the INF file and click ok, It prompts with message "The software that you choose does not match the Selected Printer".
    But the Manufaturer name is listed under the Manufacturer Tab and nothing on the Model Tab.
    Any idea why i am getting this error message. Please help me if anyone is aware of this.

    I haven't seen Apple use a "shared secret". and believe this must be a message from the magazine app.  I suggest asking the magazine, as this appears not to be an Apple problem.

    Hi
    On my macbook pro
    I'm try to set up a new Epson printer SX 445 to my router/network but each time I run the set up wizard it fails to complete saying Security Key/Password Check fail.
    *entered security key/password does not match the one set for for router.
    I know that the password is correct and have rechecked this by changing it a few times
    and I still get the same result.
    My network internet service provider is not interested and says to call Epson.
    Anybody have any clues how I can resolve this?
    Regards

    I personally suggest the new Drobo FS. Since it has an iTunes server built in and you can use any size sata hard drive in it it is better and a NAS that has to use the same size drives.

  • IPhoto Calendar Layout does not match preview

    When I am selecting a Calendar layout to use, the chose of layout I have for 3 photos and 6 photos does not match what actually shows on the screen. When I go to select my layout, the choices are to have a big photo on top and a two little ones on the bottom. The main choice of this is whether to have text on the bottom or nothing. However, when I select it shows one big photo on the left and two little photos on the left. For the six photo the choice is to have a big photo along the bottom, a medium photo in the top left quadrant, and 4 small photos in the upper right quadrant. However, after I make my selection it shows one big tall photo on the left, one medium photo in the bottom right quadrant and then 4 small photos in the upper right quadrant. The layouts I want are what is displays on the layouts button.
    Does anyone have this same problem>

    Some layouts in books and calendars change based on what photos you place - and the order you place them - some do not change -- for calendars you just have to experiment - for books Liz Castro has documented how they work for you - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage
