Printing in PSE6

I am not as savvy as I would like to be with PSE so hopefully someone out there can come up with an easy solution to my issue. I am working on my daughter's graduation announcements, they look great on screen, have the size set to 4.25 x 5.5 so I can get 4 of them on an 8.5 x 11 sheet, but when I print them, it puts more background between the pictures thus cutting off the top and some of the outer edges of the border. No matter what I do to adjust the size of the image or canvas, it is still cutting off the top. Any suggestions for a frustrated mom?

Try messing with the"Select Print Size and Options" setting in the print dialog box.
Set it to 4.25x5.5 and you should be good to go.

Using Lightroom and PSE6....can I....

turn off everything in PSE6 except editing mode?
All my cataloging and file handling will be done in Lightroom and most of my editing..just extreme touchups in Elements and slide show creations to be exported to Premiere.
Again...anyway to turn off the cataloging aspect of PSE6?
Thanks in advance!

No problem, my pleasure. Like you, i do all my printing from LR. When i edit in PSE6, i save the final image and then drop back into LR to print the image. When printing in PSE6 you should not have to save before printing as far as i know.

Switching from G4/Powerbook to a new iMAC - need to migrate

I currently own an iMAC G4 and a Powerbook. I have ordered a brand new iMAC that is on it's way. I've read that there is a problem with just connecting the G4 to the new machine and migrating my files. I need step-by-step help with what to do. Is there a really basic tutorial out there? I use these machine for digital photography and know practically nothing regarding computers. I don't even know how to do a back-up other than one time long ago when having a problem I read how to do it and now have no idea where that information is. Basically what I want on my new machine that I have on my old one is fonts that I've downloaded online; actions/effects; printers; CD printer application; PSE6; templates. When they say there is a problem with applications working and that you need to uninstally and reinstall....I assuming they are talking about our own personal programs that we've bought and not the ones that come with the computer like iPhoto, iDVD, etc.
I hate to ask someone to go to all the trouble of writing out directions down to each individual step but maybe it would help lots of others out there and that it could be saved and shared.
I really do appreciate the help and thank you so much.

You connect the two computers using a Firewire cable. You then use Target Disk Mode to get access to the G4's disk drive in order to transfer your data by simple drag and drop. I would recommend against using Migration Assistant when moving from a PPC Mac to an Intel Mac. Here's a guide to what you can safely move:
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)

PSE6 crashes when printing

A new feature I just discovered in PSE6. It crashes whenever I try to print. No warning, no error...I click print, I get the print photo's dialog box, it acts like it's starting then just goes away. No error messages, windows doesn't complain.
I've printed numerous pictures in the past, I had printed a couple of pictures today - then this started happening. I've tried rebooting printer and PC.
Running Windows XP. Doesn't seem to make a difference if PSE is the only application open or not.
Perplexed?

Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the PSE Editor might crash, and often it is hard to diagnose quickly the reason for the crash. Here are some steps you can take to try to fix the problem:

PSE6 Mac Printing Colours darker than PSE4 - Adobe accepts problem !Help!

*PSE6 Mac Printing Colours darker than PSE4 - Adobe accepts fault*
My work requires that when I create prints for artists I must replicate all the prints exactly everytime. It worked perfectly from PSE2, PSE3 and PSE4 but now......
I am unable to replicate quality of printing on MACOSX PSE6. it works great on PSE4. I mailed some printed images on art paper to adobe in amsterdam and a cd with the same images. After weeks of discussions phone, email and after testing using their work flow....they came back with some answers.
Finally a couple of replies from Adobe re colour problems and they have accepted that they are double managing the image and that I should use printer management to do the colour conversion.. here are their two replies and the comment that they will now drop me until???????   
Answer #1   Your Customer Service Number is: 129800224   Thank you for contacting Adobe Technical Support.   After consulting with my colleagues about the issue you raised, I can let you know the following:   The issue is both on our as well as the driver software side and the workaround we have given is the best available at this time. This issue is affecting all printers, not just Epson or Canon.   The soft proofing effect that you are seeing in the print preview is indeed an attempt at soft proofing. However since Photoshop Elements managed prints are incorrectly double colour managed it is not as useful as it was initially designed.   As to the exact details of why this occurred, we have no official information.   We believe that this will resolve the issues you are experiencing, however, should the reply not help solve the problem, please contact us again, quoting the case number given above, and we will re-open the case.
  Answer # 2  Subject: Re: Adobe TS #180107025 / Mario / PSE6 oversaturated Print (KMM3793441I51L0KM)   Dear Mr. Laugesen,   We have had word back from our engineers regarding your issue.   The Photoshop Elements team are aware of the problem 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.   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.

Printing Multiple Photos PSE6 for Mac

I can not figure out how to print multiple photos (open files) to my HP 6240 Photosmart printer. The printer has a 4x6 photo tray and I can get one photo at a time to print.
I want to print several different photos that are open during one print session. How do I select all the photos to print at once?
I couldn't find an answer in searching the forums, Missing Manual for SPE6, or PSE Elements Book for Digital Photographers. The Sharing tab doesn't have a print option.
Thanks.

Thanks for the update about PSE 8. I've been thinking about upgrading and I just might do that now.

PSE6 printer profile location.

I use PSE 6. I recently suffered a hard drive crash. I have a backup, but was unable to do an automatic restore. Consequently, I lost all of my printer profile settings. If I can locate the file, I think I should be able to copy it into my new installation. Can anyone tell me where to find it?
Thank you.

PSE6 Win: Want to print a photo collage INCLUDING CAPTIONS

I am trying to make a book of pictures of a recent trip. I want to have a separate layout for each page, so I'm making individual photo collage pages. Is there any way to get more than 4 photos on a page and have the captions included? Every time I try, the photos get inserted in the layout, but without the captions -- even if I checked the box to have the captions included.
Additionally, is there any way to get additional layouts?
Thanks.

Hi Eugene,
I think either lightroom or Aperture would fit the bill for your requirements, why not try any of the free 30 day trials available for both programs and see if they are suitable for you.

Printing problems with Elements and iPhoto on OSX 10.5.7

I am having problems with printing photos on my printer (Canon iP4000) since getting the new iMac with OSX (10.5.7) and using Photoshop Elements 6 and iPhoto. The Canon printer driver (and all my other data) were copied to my Mac by the techs at the Apple store from which I purchased the iMac. (I previously had a Mac G4 with OSX 10.4.11 Panther.)
Photos that used to come out crystal clear and brilliant on the printer from the G4, now are faint with kind of a white veil. When I try to print in Elements, I get a message that says "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer." I really have no idea what that means. Anybody?
Text printing comes out fine, both from word processing documents and web pages. I am using the latest printer driver (4.8.3) for the iP4000 (probably 4 years old or so), and there are no new driver downloads available for it. I trashed the Canon software/drivers and reinstalled, to no avail.
Canon Support has been helpful and have made many suggestions, but none has worked. I tried printing with Canon's EasyPhotoPrint app, and the photos print fine. So the problem appears to be a compatibility of the printer with Elements 6 and iPhoto.
Has anyone else had this experience? Does anyone have an opinion if this means I need to get a new printer? If so, any suggestions on a good, moderately priced one for Leopard on the iMac that will definitely work with Elements 6 and iPhoto?

The v4.8.3 driver she has is the latest version Canon has supplied.
Given the driver is working okay from some other applications, there has to be something amiss with the colour management of iPhoto and PSE6.
For iPhoto, as a test I would suggest the Color Options > Color Correction is set to None to see how this impacts the printed image. Then I would try the BJ Standard and ColrSync settings to see how the output is affected.
During the Color Options trial, ensure the Quality & Media > Media Type is set to the appropriate paper type, such as Photo Paper and the Print Mode be set to Top Quality Photo. With regards to the Media Type setting, some of the paper stocks have a profile associated with them. If you use Photo paper but use the Plain setting, then you will get a washed out print.

Move PSE6 catalog from XP to new computer Windows 7

Help! I have a new computer with Windows 7 installed. The store I purchased it from did a data transfer for me so the "My Pictures" folder was moved into the new computer. I just downloaded the PSE6 program again as programs were not moved.
Now what do I do?? I have an External Hard Drive connected to the old computer and had made a full and 3 incremental backups through PSE6. (I have 127gb of photos as shoot in raw).
I have read some info on this site so am confused..... should I delete the "My Pictures" (all the photos) from the new computer first?
I have an External hard drive connected to the old computer. Should I do a FULL backup and send it to that External HD then plug that into the new computer and download from that?
Would appreciate your help (in simple precise terms - not very computer literate! ) as I don't want to lose my Catalog as it has a lot of collections.
Thank you!

First make sure you've got a precise record of what your key is and who it's registered to. (I usually just print out a screenshot of the existing "Register" tab in my QuickTime preferences.)
Now on the old PC, go into your QuickTime control panel. In the "Register" tab, clear the key from the QuickTime Registration section and click OK.
Now on the new PC, reenter those details in the "Register" tab and click OK.

PSE 11 - MacOX 10.7.5 Printing Wide Format Printer and Profiles Not Working Correctly

Macosx 10.7.5
When I start up PSE11 and go to print I set up the paper size then select a Printer Profile. When print the image it is a mess and seem to be black and white it is as if I printed on the wrong side of the paper.
I then go and try to print it again.   Now it all works as it should beutiful colours and spot on. all other print following this works.
Then I shut down PSE11.   Start it up again. Guess what first print is a mess again.   all others after are fine.
I uninstalled PSE11, deleted prefs. and reinstalled PSE11.    Same thing..   first print a mess all others ok.
the issue can be replicated consistantly......
no problems with PSE10 or PSE9
any suggestions?????
cheers elo

Thank You for your suggestions.
I have been printing using PSE for over 14 years going back before the term PSE came up. I have done this professionally using profiles from others and those I generate myself..
All the things you mentioned have been done.
The main point missing in your suggestions is   It is only the first print every time I open up PSE11 that does not work...
at completion of print I immediately go back to the file command and say print and then bypass all settings and print again.   this time and every other print aafter are perfect...      I did not change one single setting...
I know about printer and adobe settings etc.     but thanks for going through the list it was a good reminder of how to remember everything sometimes we rush and forget something...
Finally    It works PSE6, PSE9, PSE10, CS5, Lightroom 4.   I think I have the settings right......
Any suggestions for how to get PSE11 to force the settings for the first print would be appreciated..
Only thing I have not done is upgrade to the latest version of the epson driver. Released less than a month ago to provide support for mountain lion.(iam only on lion) Maybe just maybe???   you never know.   Will try this when I finish by next batch of prints.
I will back up as I do weekly...    Still have the old driver from way back in release 10.5.8   will try to fire up to 10.5.8 and see what happens....

Win: photos not recognized in PSE6

I shot 60 photos in NEF. I edited them, saving each as JPEG, copy to Organizer.
They all showed up with '?' in the corner, and were treated as missing files. I deleted all, and imported them again into Organizer. No '?'s now, but PSE6 still treats them as missing files. For example, if I double-click on a photo, it appears as a single, but PSE6 goes off trying to find it! Same if I try to print a photo.
I have a similar problem with all my photos.
This has only happened since I re-installed PSE6 on a new hard drive.
I tried re-booting. Didn't help.
Can you help?
TIA

Most likely your new drive has triggered a PSE 6 bug. To verify, run the utility "psedbtool":

If that is indeed the problem, there is a straightforward fix.

Color Management for Epson printer using Photoshop Elements 6

I have consistently dark prints when using my new Epson workhorse 1100. It prints fine from iPhoto but not from Photoshop Elements 6. The Epson people say it's an Adobe problem. The Adobe people won't help, as it's not under warranty. I am interested in settings in PSE6 or on my Mac OSX. Or, what's a profile and how do I set it? Thanks!!

Yes, I've tried all of the options: Printer manages color, PSE manages color. All are the same dark prints.
On another conversation on this forum, I read the following. Very discouraging to think that Adobe knows of this problem but won't give me any tech support because too much time has lapsed.
I don't know what "plugs" are--sounds like this user figured out a way around it.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Re: Color mismatch EpsonR800 and Elements 6
Adobe has admitted that there is a color management issue with PSE 6 for Mac. I have an Epson R1900 and I am now getting acceptable color-managed prints by allowing the Epson Printer driver to manage color management (ie; color management in PSE 6 turned off). The Epson Photoshop Plug In also works well with PSE6 and ICC profiles; however, I have yet to solve 2 problems with this particular plug in: (1) How to get the program to capture 3rd party ICC profiles and (2) how to print borderless prints. If anyone has seen a user guide for this particular plug in, I would be grateful to know how to download it.

PSE11-Anyone with Printing Problems Please comment

I earlier reported a problem with profiles with the new PSE11 and Mac OSx 10.7.5. See my previous threads.
The printing paths in PSE11 have changed. My problem occurs only on the first print every time I start up the application.
I am trying to diagnose the problem to approach Adobe with more information.
So any issues with how it works differently/incorrectly compared to other versions please comment. Even if you have to work out a bypass.
cheers elo
action so far
-delete and reinstall PSE11
-deleted all prefs
-checked Epson Support
-Registered with Adobe
-Run tests with different profiles generated by different applications/companies/myown
-Tests with previous version of OSx
-Run tests on PSE6,PSE9,PSE10 where it all works perfectly
To Do.
-replace Epson pro3800 print driver when I finish this weeks production work. (new driver released two months ago to support OSx Mountain Lion. Epson says it should not have anything to do with my problem?

I am having a similar problem. Have you made any progress toward a soloution?
After many emails back and forth and then an hour and a half on the phone with Epson support they determined my problem is a PSE 11 glitch and suggested I try some forums and keep them posted! Here is the problem. I recently upgraded from PSE 8 to 11 and upgraded my Mac OS to 10.6.8. I have been printing from PSE 4 as I got better results from 4 than from 8. My printer is an Epson R1800. When I launch PSE 11 and print an image it comes out terrific. BUT if I want to print a second image, or even the original image a second time it is terrible. I set the "color setting" option to "Epson vivid" on the print menu. That option is greyed out after the 1st image is printed. Doesn't matter if Elements manages color or if printer manages color. One good print and then I have to close PSE 11 and relaunch to get another print. Epson is suggesting that PSE is not “releasing” after the 1st print???
Any one else having this problem? Many thanks
