Printer Profile In Elements 8

How do I set a printer profile in Elements 8?

I have to change this for every print. I have a Canon Pro9000. When I set the printer profile for
my Ilford paper at the next print I find that the profile is reset to a Canon profile and I have to change it again.
Is there any way to make it stay on a given profile as all I use is Ilford paper.

How do you specify printer profiles in Elements 11?

I upgraded from Elements 7 where there was a "drop-down" box that listed all of the available printer profiles to choose from. I don't see a drop-down box in Elements 11 to accomplish the same thing. I use Color Munki to set up printer profiles and can't find them in Elements 11.

Both Epson and HP have been playing a game of Hide-and-Seek for the last year or two. Instead of putting the profiles they install into one of the common Profiles folders, they are in the /Library/Printers/ folder. For Epson, drill down to /Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles. At least, this is where the installer for the Stylus Pro 4900 puts them.
It was much harder to find those installed for the Stylus Pro 4000. They are still in this general area, but were hidden inside one of the .plugin packages a bit deeper into the folder structure.
Either way, the Epson print drivers know where these profiles are and show up in the print dialogue boxes. Trouble is, other apps, such as Adobe, Quark, can't see them, so you can't choose any of the profiles from those program's print option boxes.
The only solution is to locate the profiles in the /Library/Printers/ folder and move all profiles to either the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder, or the Profiles folder in your user account. You want to move instead of copy so each profile isn't showing up twice in the Epson print dialogue box.

Elements 6 Printer Profile not showing up on Elements 10 when I go to Print

A third party created a printer profile that I successfully used on Elements 6. However that Printer Profile is not functioning with Elements 10. I would definitely like that Printer Profile to operate when I print on Elements 10. What to do to accomplish that goal? That's the overview. Here's the details: In Elements 10, I press Print. then Change Settings. Then Print Quality (Listed as default 720dpi,terrible print quality). Press Change. That takes me to Epson Stylus 3800 Properties. That box has the right Printer Profile I used in Elements 6. I press OK to get it embedded in Elements 10, but it won't embed and I'm stuck with the 720dpi default. Can someone help with this enigma? I thank you in advance for your time,expertise and willingness to help me!

Add printer profile to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0

Hi
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 running on a Windows/7 64 bit system. I print to an epson 1400.
I wish to print a photo from the PSE editor. Unfortunately the editor does not allow me to choose the appropriate printer profile for the epson 1400 & the paper I have loaded.
The profiles are correctly installed in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color; and they are available to other programs, like MS Photo Viewer. But PSE editor does not display them as a choice.
PSE 7.03 does allows me to specify a printer profile. After pressing control-P I am presented with a PRINT dialog box. Among other things, I choose:
Color Handling: Photoshop Elements Manages Colors
Printer Profile: presents many options, including:
- working RGB - Adobe RGB (1998)
- working CMYK - U.S. Web Coasted ....
- working Gray
- and many others,
but no Epson profiles.
For Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy I want to use the SP1400 1410 PGPS profile provided by epson.
Does anyone know how to get PSE 7.03 to allow this choice?
thanks
John

Thanks again for the helpful reply.
I have not previously calibrated my monitor. I am looking at that now. but
have avoided it because:
   1. Adobe recommends (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333356.html) that LCD
   displays not be calibrated.
   2. The colors on my Dell 2007WFP are the same as on the back display of
   my Nikon D80 within my ability to differentiate. And they are good!
   3. The colors produced by the Epson 1400 were way off for some skin
   tones (specifically brown skinned people - about half of the folk who I
   photograph). This was not a minor adjustment issue. And sometimes they
   were off in the Green direction, other times they looked red or orange, more
   in shadows than in highlights.
   4. The skin tones printed from Picasa were very good (short of excellent)
   while the skin tones from PSE 7.03 were completely inferior - I did not
   suspect a problem with the monitor calibration or the printer - PSE was at
   fault.
Ok, now I used the calibration tool that seems to be part of Win/7 - I got
to it via the control panel:display. I made no adjustments to the monitor -
it seemed fine.
I would like the printer to duplicate what I see on the monitor. prints are
a bit lighter than what I see on the screen.
I am printing now with the following parameters:
   1. from PSE Editor
   2. Photoshop Manages color
   3. Printer Preferences
      1. Premium Photo Paper Glossy (I use epson paper & inks)
      2. Color Management: ICM & No Color Adjustment
   4. Printer Profile: SP1400 1410 PGPP (thanks!)
   5. Rendering: Relative Colourimetric

Mac: Elements 8 missing printer profiles

Hi guys, I tried printing an image using Elements 8 yesterday, having upgraded from 6 on my Mac. Strangely, it didn't bring up any of the manufacturer printer profiles, nor my custom made one, when I tried to print and select them under colour management.
Elements 6 would simply look to my ColorSync library to find profiles, what's 8 doing? How do I point it in the right direction?

Barbara. forgot to mention the reason that some people got better colours letting the printer manage the colour conversion was that ADOBE admitted to me in an email that they had a known problem with PSE6 on the MAC. Initially they said it happened to all printers as shown in quote 1. Later on. finally they said only Epson had the problem. Printing seemed to improve significantly for me when Converting from Tiger to Leopard.
Quote....1.
Dear Sir,
Here is the Feedback from my engineers::
Previous Research::
Apologies for the delay but I had to get some replacement inks for my printer as well as a time window to test this properly. I have now tested this with a Canon i990 and Ilford Smooth pearl paper using both Photoshop Elements 4 & 6 and the latest printer driver on a PowerMac G5 running OS X 10.4.11. I have a custom profile for the paper and ink combination and use this throughout. I used the ole no moire test file which includes a good full colour palette in the image as well as 10 - 100% ink densities for CMYK inks.
I can now confirm your observations and can clearly see that when Photoshop Elements manages the colours under 4, the reproduction is fairly close to the regional you see onscreen. Letting the printer manage colours under Photoshop Elements 4 gave terrible results - nothing like the original with a strong orange cast in the colours.
In Photoshop Elements 6, letting the printer manage the colors, a fairly accurate result was obtained, potentially better than the Photoshop Elements 4 when it managed the colours. Let Photoshop Elements 6 manage the colours and the results are as the customer described, far more saturated. In fact, the 80-100% square for both Cyan and Magenta colours were the same in intensity which would explain the oversaturated look.
Concluding Research::
I have now heard back from engineering and the. It would appear that this is an issue with he printer driver not doing what it claims to be doing - even though printer driver claims colour management is turned off, it is still colour managing the print. The result is that if you set Photoshop Elements to colour manage, it will be double colour managed. The Photoshop Elements team are aware of this issue and are working with Apple and the printer manufacturers to get this to work correctly.
In the meantime, the only workaround is to switch off colour management in Photoshop Elements and let the printer handle the colour management. Using this workflow, I got some good colour matching from Photoshop Elements, although it is not identical to the results obtained in Photoshop Elements 4, it is close.
Yours Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Laugesen,
We have had word back from our engineers regarding your issue.

Unfortunately we can not make an estimation as to when a fix will be provided. We will close the case for the time being as there really is nothing more we can do about this issue besides offering the suggested workaround. Closing this case does not mean that the research will stop however and the engineers are working on a solution to this.

Profiles in Elements

I Wish to get photos printed by a commercial printer who requires a Fuji profile to be attached to the images. Can you explain please how I can attach the profile to the images in Photoshop Elements. I have downloaded the profile onto my computer but the Elements 'Convert Profile' doesn't pick it up.

Make sure your color settings are correct or that you don’t have “No Color Management” selected. Go to Edit >> Color Settings
Choose “Always Optimize for Printing” and click OK
Then open an image and click File >> Print
Then click the More Options button and choose Color Management
Ensure the top dropdown is set to “Photoshop Elements Manages Color”
You can select your media type from the Printer Profile dropdown.
I find Rendering Intent is best set to Perceptual.
N.B. When Elements manages color in conjunction with your chosen profile it’s essential to turn off color management in the print driver.
P.S. You will have far more options in Lightroom 4 and the ability to save user presets. So try selecting thumbnails in the Lightroom Library and then move to the print module.

Printing Problems with Elements 11

I have just started with Elements 11. At first it printed ok. but when I tried to set it up with Elements to control the printer ( Epson SX400 ) I keep getting a message saying that ICC Profile is invalid, and the program will not let me print at all. My computer O/S is Windows 7, 64 bit. the Printer driver is one supplied by Epson EU to run the O/S.
I have tried returning to Printer controls settings, this has not worked. I have tried to print on a different printer (Brother HL-2250DN Laser Printer) this will not print either.
I have tried to print on my old Serif PhotoPlus program this is OK. So the problem is in my settings for Elements 11,
Do I Need to Reinstall the programme

I would explain you the steps you need to follow if you are giving control to Photoshop Elements to manages color.
Step 1- Select your printer and then Click More Options at the bottom left of the Print window.
Step 2- No click on Color Management tab.
Step 3- Now from "Color Handling" drop down select Photoshop Elements Manages color. As you select this option "Printer Profile" drop down will become enable.
Step 4- If Image Space is sRGB then select sRGB profile from Printer Profile drop down else select Adobe RGB.
Step 5- Click On Printer Preferences button. It will open your printer's preferences dialog.
step 6- Now click on "Main" tab and then click Advanced button.
step 7- Now under "Color Management" section please select No Color Management here.
step 8- Click OK and come back to main Print dialog of Photoshop Elements. Now click Print.
Note -If you choose Photoshop Elements manages color, it is very important that you disable color management in your printer driver.Letting the application and the printer driver simultaneously manage colors during printing results in unpredictable color.
Try with above written steps I hope it would help.
Cheers !!!

Colour profiles in Elements 10

I use a 3rd party print lab and have downloaded and installed their print profiles. I can save my images using Lightroom 4 with the appropriate profile, but don't know how to do it in Elements 10. Does Elements 10 even support this functionality?

Pictures print dark from Elements 12 on imac27 with Epson R1900

Both my colleague and I cannot print pictures matching screen brightness. I have Elements 12 with new iMac 27 and Epson R1900. He has new PC and Lightroom with Epson R1900 printer.

This is a common problem when the monitor is set too bright. Hardware needs to be calibrated with tools such as X-rite ColorMunki or Spyder Elite. You can then match your monitor to your print profile (combination of printer, paper and ink) to ensure consistent results.

Re Printer Profile MX925

Hi All I have a MX925 all in one printer in the settings for printing in photoshop elements 13 there are lots of options for printer profile i.e Cannon MX920 Series gl2, gl3 , MP2, PT1 , PT2, PT3 , SG2/LU2, and SG3/LU3 . How do you know which to choose of these profiles ? Regards Mike

I don't think that they are different. In my view the "Working RGB' shows the current working profile.

How do you use an outside Lab ICC Printer Profile in PSE 12?

I have an image that I scanned in from an old print then I edited it using PSE-12. Now that I've completed the editing and retouching I plan to have the image printed by an outside that has the ability to read ICC Printer Profiles designed for their printers embedded in the image. My proble is I don't know how to add a particular ICC Printer Profile to a image worked on in PSE-12. If I was using Lightroom or PS-CS5 or 6 there is a straight forward way to accomplish this goal.
Is there any way to accomplish the same objective when using PSE-12?

Thanks MichelBParis. I must be getting old (I'm 78) and I completely missed that when I was in Dry Creek Photo. In fact that is where I get all of my ICC Printer Profiles from when I'm using either Lightroom or Photoshop CS. What I'm doing is tutoring a friend on the use of PSE-12 (although I do own a copy for my own use) and I was trying to set him up to use ICC Printer Profiles and avoid letting the labs do "Automatic Color Adjust). I had many images ruined in the past just because the lab did an automatic color adjust until an operator schooled me on what was happening. I'm now a part time photographer and I never send an image to be printed without first making sure I have an applicable ICC Printer Profile embedded. and request the lab to turn off their automatic color adjustment.
Thanks again for the perfect solution.

Can you use a photo lab's colour profile in Elements?

Using PSE 6, I want to use a printer profile from a digital photo processing lab, so as to get accurately printed images. (Additonally my monitor is calibrated by a Heuy Pro)
The profile is 'FUJI 570 Supreme Lustre' which I have downloaded from the lab and installed on my Windows Vista PC. Following PSE Help instructions, if I go to the print option then from the drop down Printer Profile list, I can see, choose and select the Fuji 570 profile.
The problem is that this process only seems aimed at then allowing me to click on cancel or print (there is no save option etc). PSE seems to assume that I am connected to the Fuji printer and want to print the image myself, which, of course, I don't but rather want to save this image with the correct profile for the lab's printer and paper-type, so as to send the file(s) for my colour managed image(s) to be printed.
Is there any way that you can save a PSE image file with a colour profile like this in it?
If yes, how is this done?
The lab provides instructions as to how to do this with Photoshop but they are unfamiliar with PSE. In the lab's instructions it refers to View/Proof Set up/custom and unchecking Preserve Colour Numbers, Paper White and Ink Black. Is any of this possible/necessary with PSE 6 (or any later version?)
I have tried to resolve this myself but come to a dead end. If anyone can advise me how to achieve what I want to do, that would be really great or if it can't be done using PSE, to know that would be a great help.
(I have used this lab before without the profiles and whilst the results were good in several respects, some colours, not surprisingly, were not very accuate with my calibrated monitor)
Thanks for reading and considering my posting on the forum.

Thanks for this further advice- much appreciated.
I don't think the Edit>>Colour Settings is going to work as this means that the monitor set up becomes the profile. In my case the Huey profile (which is confirmed as it shows in the print set up preference/settings boxes). Although the Huey profile is important for accurate editing, it will not fulfil the lab'sFuji printer/papers settings.
It looks like PSE does not have any way to save to file with the printer profile (unlike Photoshop). This is a real shame.
It's an interesting issue, as I can't believe that I am the only user ever wanting to use a lab's profile to get better colour management and to use a photographic lab rather than an attached printer.
Anyway, thanks again for engaging in this issue and for your thoughts and advice - much appreciated.
Should I find a way to resolve this, I will post it on the forum.

Print profiles no longer working correctly with CS6 64bit to my Epson R2880

Hi, until recently, my print profiles were working correctly with CS6 64bit (Win 7 ultimate 64) to my Epson R2880, they now print washed out/desaturated but the same profiles still print correctly using Lightroom 4. has there been an update that could have affected things or are there any other suggestion? Thanks, Dave.

Hi,
I hope someone can help!
I recently bought my first Mac, a great MacBook Pro which I love!
I use Lightroom3 and Photoshop CS5 to edit photos and now want to print from my Epson R1800.
I found that the prints initially came off very dark & contrasty, so I calibrated both the MBP screen and my Samsung SuncMaster 245B monitor with my Spyder2 and the Colorvision software.
Even after establishing colour profiles for both screens, the printed image was still far darker and "heavier" than that shown on screen. This was the same whether printing from LR3 or from the Mac Preview app (it was worth trying I thought!).
So searching for help on the web I came across this thread and now wonder whether I should uninstall my driver (6.57) and reinstall the printer with 6.23.
Stephen did you find that this worked - did PS CS5 behave after that?
Of course I'm trying to print some work soon and in desperation could adjust every (edited) image by brightening & reducing contrast, however with dozens to print it seems crazy to do that, not to mention wrong!
Thanks for any help!
Paul

Printer profiles in templates

I've just spent most of the afternoon trying to resolve a problem.
My question is does any one know if the printer profile in " User Templates" overrides the one selected in the image settings column.
The reason I ask is that I've been trying to match 2 print sizes in LR without much success. The smaller ones match the screen but the larger one's don't. Both were printed from my own designed templates.Nothing complicated just some custom sizes. Switching to CS3 I printed the larger prints and got a perfect match.
In frustration I used one of the LR print templates to see what would happen. Guess what I got the match I was looking for.
Not wishing to make the mistake again I deleted the offending template before it occurred to me to check the profile associated with it.
Regrettably I couldn't check what printer profile was included, hence my question

When you print from iPhoto you can select the paper type, such as Archival Matt, and that Epson profile will be used. The Epson R300 Standard is merely a description of the printer you are using. This is the same behavior as in Photoshop. Where you might see a difference is in the way Photoshop displays the image on screen, based on your monitor profile and color settings. iPhoto is not really using a source profile for display purposes, other than the camera sRGB (assuming you're using a digital camera that uses sRGB. So if you edit an image in iPhotobrightness, contrast, etc) it may apper different on screen and cause you to make changes that will result in a unsatisfactory print.
