Print Position PSE 8

I've recently installed PSE 8 and am having difficulty changing print position on the Print page. I previously used PSE 6 and it was very simple to uncheck the Center box under Print Position and have the capability of moving the photo around on the page prior to printing. All the margins were all shown. Am I just overlooking this option with PSE 8?

I am with all the other guys. another step is not what this product should be providing. I thought it was suppose to make things simpler and easier. not adding steps for those of us who found elements to do 90% plus of what photoshop does. I have 150 plus images all set up to print with a deeper bottom. PSE used to remember the previous position on the page. what do I do now?
I have sent in my comments to adobe.
thanks

Printing with PSE 8 for Mac

Hi,
hope some of you may give me some help.
Have tried to print with PSE 8 for Mac, but in the printing options there is none where i can choose the type of paper (ie: glossy, premium glossy....).
My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400.
It works fine with iPhoto, here i can choose paper type. And prints come out fine.
Thanks for any advice,
dangerly

My printer is a Canon so not entirely sure if this helps but when I print from PSE 8 I do not get to choose the media type until I have clicked on the print button in the PSE dialog box. I am then presented with the dialog box for my printer where I can set the media type amongs other attributes.
It is normal for the media type to be the job of the printer driver so perhaps it is the same for your printer.

Problems with HP printer and PSE 11 (was bill v)

When using my HP 7020e photosmart printer and Adobe photoshop elements 11, I get a very small white border on the prints. I have set for borderless printing. Adobe says the print size is 4.2 x 6.18 instead of 4 x 6. Any suggestions?

I had already set it to borderless but it still prints a very small white
border. HP had no solution. I am ready to send the printer back to them.

Problems with color printing in PSE 6.0

I have installed a HP Premium Photosmart All-in-One Printer. It prints pictures with excellent picture and quality color when I print from My Pictures. The picture and color quality when I print from PSE Organizer is very poor. I have Color Management set to Adobe RGB. Can anyone give suggestions on what I need to do so I can print good, quality photos from Organizer? I appreciate any ideas.

There are various opinions on how to deal with this problem. Try this:
Print from Editor. Yes, the experts assert that the print engine differs between editor and organizer.
Calibrate your monitor
In Editor, Color settings>sRGB
In printer setup>properties>print space>same as source. The idea here is that you do not want both Elements and the printer to manage the color output.

Borderless printing from PSE 7 Editor

Having some trouble printing borderless 4x6 images from the Editor in PSE 7, (I prefer printing from the Editor over the Organizer due to its higher quality output). I've tried a myriad of different settings from the Elements print dialogue window and am unable to consistently print images without some border being present, either just on one side, or on a top and side together. Sometimes I can successfully print without the borders, but then when using the same settings on another image, I'm frustrated to see some type of border return. The image in the print preview window will also vary from one image to the next, sometimes with borders, and sometimes without, however even when no borders are present in the preview, they'll still be there sometimes in the print. Never had a problem like this with Elements 4; using an Epson R1900, with printer driver set to borderless. If anyone else has encountered this, or has suggestions on what to do, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks!

Yes seems this is a bug. I will try using printing in PSE 8.0 when it will be released.

How do you unfreeze a frozen top and left command in the printing position command?

The top and left option of the printing position command is frozen at 0. The error message states that a value between 0.000 and 0.000 is required. How do I change this? This happens will unedited and edited pictures. I have just installed a xerox printer perhaps there is a link between this problem and the printer.

I didn't even suggest that because I would have thought that would be the first thing anyone would have checked for! If you flip the on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse do you have a blinking green light? Whether you do or don't, if you are unsure of the batteries then replace them.

Failure to print from PSE 9.0 on MAC to Epson XP-800

I cannot print photographic images with my desktop MAC (OS X10.8.4) from Photoshop Elements 9.0 to my new Epson XP-800 printer. Printing is not a problem with Word text or images from iPhoto- it is only with PSE that there is a problem. The problem persists even if I try using a cabled connection rather than WiFi. I have ensured latest software from Epson has been downloaded. This problem did not occur when using the same system with the previous printer (Epson Photo Stylus 1290).
Any suggestions for solving this rather than just a workaround of moving the edited PSE image back to iPhoto & printing from there (which admittedly does work but shouldn't be necessary).
Grateful for any help.
Stuart

Hi Barbara B
Thanks very much for this suggestion.
I followed this advice, both deletions and permission repairs. This did allow me to print from PSE for the first time - very pleased with this. Unfortunately the colour reproduction has now gone haywire (having been very good) and there are vertical lines on prints - this now applies to both PSE & iPhoto (the latter worked well before)
Any further suggestions? I feel we are close to cracking it but do not really understand what to try next. Please help if you can. Many thanks.

Color prints in PSE 9 not accurate.

Hello,
I've been having trouble printing color prints with PSE 9. They appear kind of pale or less vivid (unacceptably so), the colors are just not as they appear on my monitor. I'm using an Epson R2880, iMac 10.6.8. It prints b&w beautifully. I've been through Epson tech support, checked nozzles and cleaned heads. While speaking with Espon they suggested I print from another application, so I tried using iPhoto, colors came out accurately there. I happen to still have PSE 8 still on my computer, so I attempted to print from there, the colors were also more accurate there (and that's without using the ICC profiles I have in PSE 9 ). It seems the issue is unique to PSE 9. I've tried changing my color setting, typically I have it set to AdobeRGB, but have tried "no color management". I have my monitor calibrated, use proper ICC profiles for any papers I use (and have tried multiple papers). Any suggestions on what the issue may be?

As well as having PSE set to AdobeRGB, is the image also set to that colour space (It will have an asterisk after the color setting - RGB/8*)?
Have you tried sRGB settings?
I note your comment about the ICC Profiles but quickly checking my Scott Kelby PSE7 book he says he uses an R2880 but that it didn't install color profiles for all the Epson papers. Have you been to Epsons website and downloaded and installed ALL the appropriate profiles?
Cheers,
Neale

Photo placement when printing in PSE 8.0

In PSE 6.0 I was able to adjust where my 6X4 photo was positioned on an 8.5 X 11photo sheet to maximize the use of the paper. How is that done in PSE 8.0? It always centers the photo on the sheet and I cannot find the setting to change that.

No, you can't change it. This is one of the "improvements" in PSE 8. Create a new blank file the size of the paper you normally use for printing, at the resolution you normally use, and save this as your printing template. Then when you want to print, copy/paste the photo you actually want to print into this file and use the move tool to put it where you want it.

"Program Error" While trying to print in PSE 9

Download and installed updates to PSE 9.0, Now 9.03. While in PSE mode I can no longer print images to Epson Photo R2880 or HP J4680. I can print to both printers using HP Media Smart Photo application, but if I attempt to print from PS Elements I get the following "could not print (image title) because of program error". I have since uninstalled the upgrade to PSE 9.03, I have also done a system restore all to no avail. I still can't print while in PSE. Any experience with this? Any resolution ? Help !!!

Print position and borders on custom package

I have 2 questions related to the print module
1- I have searched the web and couldn't find any indication of precise positioning options for cells (photos). When looking at the lrtemplate file, it seems like the position is driven by "bounds" and the parameters for AgMutableRect looks like (x start, y start, x end and y end). Units for bounds, imageHeight and imageWidth in this case are 72 * inch value (not sure if this is always true). I have tried modifying bounds values directly in the file and then open the template in lightroom and it worked. My question is what are "cellScreenBounds" and "cellTemplateScreenBounds" used for and what are the parameter values (and units)?
cells = {
        anchored = true,
        bounds = AgMutableRect( 85.347767253045, 77.163734776725, 805.34776725304, 797.16373477673 ),
        cellScreenBounds = AgMutableRect( 24, 21, 229, 227 ),
        cellTemplateScreenBounds = AgMutableRect( 5, 5, 55, 54 ),
        imageHeight = 720,
        imageWidth = 720,
        page = 1,
2- The next question is is it possible to have 2 outer borders, one very thin black and one large white -> on a white background? When trying from lightroom print module, it seems like the photo border is always the same color as the background color, only inner border can have a different color. Again, I have found those parameters in the lrtemplate file and AgColor( 1, 1, 1, 1 ) seems to be white and AgColor( 0, 0, 0, 1 ), seems to be black ... Anyone who knows what the parameters represent?
    imageBorderColor = AgColor( 1, 1, 1, 1 ),
    innerStrokeBorder = true,
    innerStrokeColor = AgColor( 1, 1, 1, 1 ),
    innerStrokeWidth = 18.084,
    lockToPhotoAspectRatio = false,
    metadataFontSize = 10,
    numLayoutPages = 1,
    oneImagePerPage = true,
    pageBackgroundColor = AgColor( 0, 0, 0, 1 ),
    pageBackgroundColorActive = true,
To give you some background, this is what I'm trying to do -> Create a custom picture package to export as a jpeg to print as a 12x12 photo. On the picture package, I want to place (precise position) a few photos that will overlap, each with a big white border around the photo and a thin black border to frame the photo (so starting from center it would be -> photo, big white border, thin black border, white background)
Thanks

Thank you for the reply Rob
There is no Avery template in the list that has 24 labels, which is why I was using the Custom Label
I have tried many variations trying different widths and gaps between the labels, but in all cases by the time the 8th row is printeed the printing has crept up and is now overlapping onto the bottom of the 7th row label. The third column is printing on the gutter between the 2nd and 3rd column.
When creating a Custom label it would appear that the Wizard works on Letter size Paper regardless of the paper size that the printer is set to. All my printers are set to A4 size paper.
Letter Paper is 215.9mm x 279.4mm compared to 210mm x 297mm for A4. While the width is not a problem the length is less, and that may well be what is causing the problem when the Wizard creates the labels, despite changing the Paper size to A4. But the paper size can only be changed and set to A4 after the wizard has been given the label size and spacing for margins and gutters.
In my view the Wizard should ask for the paper size and then ask for the label size settings and layout

Default image to print in PSE 9

In PSE 9 editor, if you have multiple images in the project bin, one of them has a blue box around it, and it's not necessarily the active one in the edit window. If you go to print the image you're working with (the active one), PSE will instead want to print the one with the blue box. So you have to close the print dialog, select the correct image, and start the print process again. This is asinine. How do I set up PSE 9 so it will default to print the active image?
Thanks

Well, I usually work with the project bin closed so the active image is larger. I'm trying to get away from having to do what you're saying. After all, "the one I want" is the one I'm working on.
I can't figure out why in the world they even did that; why would I want to print a different image from the one I'm currently working on?!!! I mean, how many people say, "Okay, this one looks pretty good, so now I think I'll print one that I was working on an hour ago?" If I want to print my current image along with a different one, why not let me add the other one? That makes sense; the current method makes none at all.
Thanks for your reply.

Problems printing from PSE 11 on Windows 8

I have not had a problem with printing until this week. I cropped an image 6 by 4, chose 6 by 4 paper, selected borderless and got a 1cm white border. The image did not fill the preview window, so it is not a border problem. I have to use the slider to enlarge the preview image. Why???

Of course!
I have been a PSE user since version 2 and have been through Epson and Canon A3 printers for the last 8 years.
The problem has only manifested itself in the past few days. The white space around the image is far too large to be a border that is obtained by choosing a border in the print options.
As you can see from my screenshot the preview is also wrong. The print mechanism merely reproduces what you see on the screen.

AP Check Printing : Position the check at the page's bottom

Hi all,
I'm struggling to build an RTF template for AP check printing.
I have tried Tim's solution and Darshan's approach and can control the number of invoices per page to successfully handle the overflow checks.
The trouble resides on controlling the position of the check which should be printed at the absolute bottom of each page (VOIDED or NOT VOIDED)
Depending on the number of the invoices per page, the table which holds the invoices pushes down (or pulls up) the check along with the MICR value.
Since XMLP check printing is quite common requirement, there might be a successful format out there.
Will appreciate any advise for this issue.
Thanks

Hi Steve,
Following your advise, the check is now displayed at the absolute bottom of the page, regardless of the number of invoices per page. I did use your second method, controlling the height of the invoice data row with the same dimension as the filler and the recursive template.
I'm facing another challenge which looks more of a standard AP functionality: For overflow check, i should display the associated voided check on page 1 through page n, then the $amount check on the last page.
i.e
Page 1
Payment info
invoice 1
invoice 2
invoice 3
Check detail
***void***
Page 2
Payment info
invoice 4
invoice 5
invoice 6
Check detail
***void***
Page 3
Payment info
invoice 7
invoice 8
invoice 9
Check detail
Total $Amount of invoice 1-9
My actual layout only displays 1 check after listing all invoices. Any advise is really appreciated.
Thanks again for your time.

Dark prints in PSE 10

When printing with a Cannon Pixma MG 8250 I have to increase the brightness by 50-60 to come anywhere near the colours on the screen, Using Elements 10.
(thread title edited by forum host)

In such cases most of the time the issue is in handling of color management.
Please make sure that you have handled the color management of PSE correctly.
For color management handling do the following:
Scenario 1. If you're known and familiar to your printer profile, the type of paper you are using and if you have any other customization done for your printer profile then in this case please select Photoshop Elements Manages Color in Color Handling drop down under color management of PSE.
To achieve this, follow these following steps.
1. Launch Print dialog.
2. Click on "More Options..." button.
3. Now select Color management.
4. Here you can see the Color Handling drop down. Please select Photoshop Elements Manages Color.
5. Select paper size, paper type and do other settings and then click OK.
Now print.
But note that if you are using this option, make sure the color management of your Printer is off. To know how to off the color management of your printer, please see check your printer document.
Scenario 2. In case you want your printer to handle all color management then please select Printer Manages Color in Color Handling drop down. Then do other settings as discussed in above scenario and print your image.
Hope this will help you
