Print not matching what's onscreen...

Hi,
I used the 3d tool on one of the graphics, and it rendered fine onscreen. When I go to print it, it is appearing incorrectly, and transparently - not matching what's on screen. Why might this be?
I experimented with printing from a PDF as well (the PDF also looked fine onscreen). No luck...
Any ideas?
Thanks.

can you show a screen shot using the camera icon in the tool bar of the message dialog of this form to attach the screen shot.
The screen shot should show the appearance panel with all fills and strokes expanded, the 3D art and 3D dialog expanded, the transparency panel,
the Layers panel and the anther one with the print dialog.
What might also be good to show is a scan of the printed item.

Getting the photos I print to match what they look like on my screen.

I'm having a hard time getting the photos I print to match what they look like on my screen. I even bought a monitor calibrator and tried changing my color settings in Photoshop and it hasn't seemed to help. The pictures even look different when I pull them up in The ROES program I use to order prints from. The pictures come out really dull compared to what they look like in Photoshop. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

There are a couple of things to note here right away.
To get a good screen to print match the first consideration is the monitor brightness and white point temperature. The goal is a visual match to paper white.
The calibrator will help you set this up. Spend some time to find the right settings, because it will depend on the ambient light and your whole working environment. That includes the Photoshop UI - if you use the now default dark UI, images will appear brighter than in the old light UI.
The second thing to note is that you don't change any Photoshop color settings. The calibration and profiling is all handled automatically, once you found the right settings for white point. Just let the calibration software run through and do its thing, done. The display profile is set up as system default and Photoshop finds it there.
Once you have a correct display of the file, you then need a correctly color managed print pipeline. If both are accurate, they will match.

Printing problems with CS3- Prints dont match what is on screen

My prints dont match what i am seeing on the screen when using CS3. I am using windows xp and printing on a epson 7800. I never had this problem before i started using CS3. I have calibrated my monitor.
I have the standard version of CS3 not the extended.
I read a arctical that CS3 prints darker then what is on your screen. The solution if you have CS3 extended is to increase lightness just before printing, but what if you dont have the extended version, what do you do?
I couldnt find this topic on the forum here. I am sure others must have had this problem too. What is my solution?
Thanks in advance

There are a bunch of things that can affect the difference between what you see on screen and what you get in print. It is not enough to just look at calibration. Calibration is a starting point. Here are some things that may affect your result:
* Your monitor type
* Your PC type (laptops may not be best for image correction)
* Your calibration device
* The lighting in the area you work in
* Choices made while calibrating
* Proper setup for using the ICC profile (e.g., you aren't running conflicting software)
* Proper color management setup
* Smart choice in color space / working space selection
* Sensible choices for any other color management changes (if any)
* Careful use of on screen proofing settings
* Sensible choice for color management in capture (on camera or with scanner)
* Smart use of color profiling
* Good choice of printing materials / inks (as applicable)
* Good choice of equipment for printing
* Proper maintenance of printing equipment
I'm probably missing a few there, but I'll work on it. The best scheme I think is to keep things as simple as possible. Especially if you are having trouble, eliminate variables. When you get things working as you expect, then you can try to get a little more fancy. However, every variable you add will come with drawbacks in one form or another. Freeagent seems to make some sense here...

I am trying to activate root account on my MAC. The directions I've seen do not match what is in System Preference for Accounts or Users

I am trying to activate the root account on my new Mac Book Pro. The instructions that I have found do not match what I have in System Preferences. What is the process when using Users and Groups. When I click on Join the Network Account Server- Open Directory Utility I don't see a option to activate root user as the instructions say at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528

From the Apple menu choose System Preferences....
From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
Click the lock and authenticate as an administrator account.
Click Login Options....
Click the "Edit..." or "Join..." button at the bottom right.
Click the "Open Directory Utility..." button.
Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu.
Enter the root password you wish to use in both the Password and Verify fields, then click OK.

Do you mean you cannot select "Enable Root User" from the "Edit" menu as shown below?
Why do you think you need to enable the root user? I've never needed it in the history of OS X.

I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5 but perhaps for a Mac computer running Safari.

You cannot customize the Safari toolbar on the iPad.
What you can do on the iPad is go to Settings>Safari>Always show Bookmarks Bar>On and that will add a bookmarks bar on to the Safari browser.

Match Regular Expression does not match what Match Pattern does

I have read through a lot of posts about how Match Pattern does not match what Match Regular Expression will due to not processing some characters.
However, I found a problem with the other way. A simple Reg-Ex that works in Match Pattern but not Match Regular Expression.
What I have here is just an example. I want to use Match Regular Expression so I can specify some sub-matches.
The reg-ex is for: one or more non-numeric characters, a space, one or more numeric characters. At the start of the string.
How can I get this working in Match Regular Expression? I am working in LabVIEW 2010f2 32 bit. Here is the code snippet and the results:

Let me offer you a tip and perhaps defend the honor of the regex a little bit. One of my favorite features of regexes is the ability to specify character classes (and their negation). One of the reasons I have to think about the ~ versus ^ is that I rarely use ^ in a regex alternative.
Some examples:
[0-9] = \d (digit)
[^0-9] = \D (not a digit)
The equivalent regex for your case is: \D+ \d+

IWeb 09 published site does not match what I've created!

So after working countless hours on a website, I finally finished it and used Cyberduck to upload the files. Once it finished I was so excited to check out the website only to find that a lot of the content does NOT match what I have created on my desktop iMac. Even widgets youtube and html snippets aren't working, but are working fine within iWeb as I have created the site. The fonts have uploaded all wrong and even borders and frames look different or aren't there all together. Also, the Google Map widget is causing some error through cyberduck upload and says it can't load it. How come my iWeb site looks great on my computer, but is totally hosed when uploaded to the FTP server? I'm freaking out and am desperate for help.
The website is www.mikewarobickgolf.com
I'm running Lion as well.
What do I need to do to get all the content of my iWeb site uploaded properly to the server? Please help!
If I am already screwed from running iWeb 09 with Lion, can you recommend an iWeb replacement? I'd rather get the site up now with iWeb and work on replacing it a later time if at all possible.

You need to upload the Scripts folder to get your Widgets to work.
Try getting the full embed code for your Google map and pasting it into the HTML Snippet rather than use the Widget. According to Cyclosaurus ( the only person outside of Apple who seems to understand widgets), the Google maps widget won't work when MobileMe closes down at the end of the month.
I don't recommend any of these apps. As long as iWeb functions OK after the end of the month, I would continue using it until something better comes along.
In theory, Flux is probably the best bet since its a hybrid of code entry and drag and drop. In my opinion its too complicated and is not going to produce leaner code unless the user learns how to work with an external stylesheet. By the time you add inline styles and all that positioning info you're going to end up with more bloated code than an iWeb created site!
I don't know why someone can't come up with an app like iWeb that will utilise an external stylesheet and uses code injection and plugins. The big problem with iWeb is that apple didn't allow third party developers to create new widgets and responsive templates.
The main reason that I stopped using iWeb for new sites is that it can't produce responsive designs for mobile devices such as the iPhone. To extend its life, I did come up with an idea for producing a mobile version which may help some iWeb users...

Color of prints not matching display

I have iPhoto 4.03 and Lexmark Z715 printer. Color on photos displayed in iPhoto is beautiful. When I print a photo, color is shifted towards blue. How can I make prints match the color of display? Thanks.

Colour matching across devices is tricky. Here are a few tips to get you going:
First, you will probably need to recalibrate your monitor. To do this go to Display, click on the Color tab and then click on calibrate. Enable the advanced settings and follow the instructions from there. When asked you should set your target gamma to 2.2 and your white point to native or D65.
Second, are your photos being tagged with the approporiate colour profile on import? Check your iPhoto preferences to see that the option to assign a colour profile on import is checked. This will assign the Camera RGB profile to the file on import. (It would be better if the assigned profile was sRGB but the differences are sufficiently minor with Camera RGB that it doesn't really matter - unless you are shooting in Adobe RGB, which should actually work properly anyway.) To check if your existing photos have been tagged, open one in Preview and 'Get Info'. This will tell you what profile it has (if any has been assigned).
Third, your printer probably has some specific colour profiles that it will use if given the chance. Make sure you use color sync for colour matching when you are choosing printer setup options and that you are selecting the appropriate paper type. You will get a much better output if your paper matches the specifications of the profile - you instruction manual may have detailed information on the included colour profiles. The way a print looks out of a printer depends upon the type of paper you are using. (For example, when I use Canon glossy paper in my Canon printer it looks fine, when I use Kodak glossy paper it has a slight red cast that I need to adjust for.)
Try all this and see if you end up with your output matching what you see on the screen much better.
(With respect to the second point. If your photos are not tagged appropriately, it is best if you 'Assign' the sRGB colour profile to them - assuming you are using a consumer camera rather than a pro camera in Adobe RGB mode. You can do this in Preview or ColorSync Utility or you can enable Applescripts using the Applescript utility and use the 'Assign Specified Color Profile' script to tag them with sRGB. The Applescript route is technically the best but the differences are minor such that it probably doesn't matter which you choose.)

Count and size of photos in iTunes does not match what is on my iPhone

I have 2 different iPhone 6 phones. For each of them, the number of photos on the phone does not match the number of photos shown in iTunes. For example, one of my iPhones has fewer than 400 photos; however, when I connect the phone to iTunes on my computer, the usage bar at the bottom shows that there are more than 2500 photos accounting for 2.5GB. I suspect that iTunes is including photos that I have deleted from my phone. Are the additional 2100 "phantom photos" actually taking up space on my phone, and what can I do to make iTunes match what is actually on my phone?

Print not matching screen

Most folks seem to have the monitor brighter than optimum.
I edit my prints in a room with no overhead lighting and use a desk lamp so that no light shines on the monitor. If I put my hand on the monitor surface the back of my hand is dark; no light shinng on it.
Go to this website: http://outbackprint.outbackphoto.com/printinginsights/pi049/essay.html
and download the test image and see how that prints without making any adjustments. The test file is properly exposed and adjusted for color, so that will tell you if your printer is functioning OK.
I would also suggest you adjust the monitor brightness and contrast to 50% level as a starting point.
The ColorMunki isn't calibrating your printer, its calibrating your monitor.
As a test, adjust your monitor brightness up and down, print an image at each setting, and you will see that all the prints will look exactly the same since you haven't affected the digital file.
Calibrating your monitor sets it to the brightness that will replicate the printer output, so when you adjust an image in your processing software to look how you want on screen you will be sure thats how it will look on paper.
Here are some excerpts from a document that Canon supplies with the Print Studio Pro software.
Since you already have the calibration tool you should definitely use it. It is 30 minutes well spent.
I have the Pro-100, and I can tell you it makes stunning prints.

Song file and info in iTunes does not match what plays

Hi I have a question. I purchased an album in the iTunes store and it worked fine. A few days later it was released that the iTunes Plus version was available and I could upgrade it. So I did that. After I did that I know notice that the file on my system and in iTunes does not match the song that plays. The order in the system and iTunes is correct. Is there a way that I can fix this so that the file and the title match the correct song without having to delete it and repurchase the album?

Don't repurchase it - you'll just be out more money.

Printed PDF does not match what is on screen

Not sure this is the right place to post (have just posted on Adobe's equivalent of this - belt and braces), but I am having an issue with PDFs when printed vs. what they look like on screen.
In short, when they are printed, it is as if there are some margins someplace that result in the printed image being reduced in size. I do not know if this is an issue with Acrobat Reader 5 on OSX, an issue with how Reader is reading the PDF, or what, so ideas would be welcome.
The PDF's are being created in Illustrator 9.x running under Classic and there are no margins coming through from that application (they have been removed, just in case). I know that upgrading to OSX versions would be smart, but it is very expensive and the PDF, if it lives up to its name. ought to behave properly!
I am looking at this MO, because my OS9 compatible printer died recently and there are no drivers for OS9 for the new one, so i cannot (reliably) print directly from the OS9 apps to the new printer, hence going via PDF. The problem was present with the old printer as well, but as I could go direct from the apps to that, it didn't matter.
Happy to clarify further if needed.

Try using the "classic" PrintToPDF @ http://www.jwwalker.com/pages/pdf.html
This way you will be creating a PDF file using classic instead of OS X's Print To PDF.

How do I get prints to match what appears on my screen?

I have noticed that my prints from online printing services (Ofoto, Shutterfly, Walmart, etc) all seem a bit darker than my prints appear on screen. I use Photoshop CS and sometimes iPhoto for editing, and the pictures look the same in those two programs. I have iPhoto set to add ColorSync profile, and I have Photoshop set to embed sRGB color profile.
Does the monitor calibration have anything to do with this? I mean, when I am making adjustments in Photoshop, I want my print to look like what I am seeing on the screen. The best I have been able to do is change my monitor calibration to gamma 2.2, which darkens the screen, but this seems to match my prints better. Is the best solution...... and is anyone else noticing this??
I mostly use my pictures for digital slideshows on DVDs, put I do want to be able to order prints also.
Thanks for the help.....

Hi Don,
If you are using an online printing service, they will 'auto adjust' your prints unless you indicate otherwise. Most, if not all, online photo processing will have a place where you can check off or select 'no auto adjust', otherwise their computers take over and try to adjust or average your digital images before printing. I have sometimes forgotten to check this off, and prints usually come back 'muddied or slightly foggy' looking with lower contrast and brightness.
Check with your service, I am quite sure they can turn off any type of 'auto adjustments'... good luck, Rick
