Printing: Lightroom and Photoshop

Ok...so today I tried to run my first print since getting lightroom. Quick run down on my color management (although I am still learning on this subject as well). My monitor is calibrated with an eye one display. My camera (Canon 300D) is set to AdobeRGB profile. I am running an Epson 2400, Ilford Smooth Pearl paper, with the profile provided from Ilford, and have it set to have the printer determine colors. And I am running Lightroom and Photoshop CS2.
I have been printing with this combonation beautifully for about a year now. I do have one small thing about my setup, even calibrated, my monitor is a little dark, so I must do a small curves adjustment on my final version to get the print to be perfect. I have accepted this (not the newest or best monitor) and just set an action to run before printing.
So, today, I tried to print from Lightroom. The print came out WAY too dark...I mean, my blue sky is a dark purple...odd. So I said, well I need this print, let me move it to photoshop, drop the curve and print from there. Well...the blue came out blue, but the image is still a little dark...I will play with the curve again to see if I can get it right. I don't have a problem with doing this for now, but I am wondering why the images are darker then they used to be, even in photoshop.
Also, can I create actions in Lightroom, something like develop presets that I can run AFTER I am done working on an image that we prep the document for print?
Sorry for the long post...thanks for any help...

So...you're using the canned profile from Ilford...and in Lightroom you've added that via "Other" correct? When you select that profile you are then using Lightroom color management and then you go into the Epson driver under Properties, Mode Custom and then select Off under Color Management, right? You've also selected the correct media that Ilford reccomends with the Pearl paper?
If you hit print from there than that should take care of it. Note however that if you change the page template, it _WILL_ change the print output settings making you update to the profile again.
So far, I get equal output results from Lightroom and Photoshop CS2/3 when using the same profile and printing under Mac or Win. So, if you are _NOT_ getting the same results, your settings are not equal-something somewhere is set incorrectly.

  • Thumbnails on my desk top have LARGE check marks mostly covering the picture. I have processed thes picts in Lightroom and Photoshop  11

    Opening from my desk top thumbnails have a LARGE checkmark covering most of the picture. I have used both Lightroom and Photoshop 11 to process these picts,

    When I open Lightroom and view the thumbnails the check marks are there.
    So when you're seeing the check marks, do this:
    1. On Mac: Type Shift - Command - 3. This will place a .png screenshot on your desktop. 
    2. On Windows: Type Windows-Logo - Print Screen (sometimes labeled PrtScr). This will place a .png screenshot in your Pictures\Screenshots.

  • I only bought Lightroom and Photoshop subscription but it appears the cloud overwrote all my other old programs and is now demanding a new serial

    Hi,
    I joined the subscription service but ONLY purchased Lightroom and Photoshop.  I had other legally aquired adobe programs on my computer that I was perfectly happy with (dreamweaver - I olnly do the bare minimum of stuff with it, i write my own code mostly - therefore did not need an upgrade)...now it seems Adobe has taken it upon itself to update ALL of my programs to the newest versions and will not let me use any of my stuff until I pay for a new serial for ALL of it.  I can't even read a PDF all of a sudden, because i magically have the newest version of Acrobat, which I NEVER asked for....
    So they basically used my membership and HACKED my computer and updated software - I say hacked because these updates were without my permission...and now they are trying to force money out of me?????  This should be ILLEGAL!  this was a really really really crappy thing to do, since I DO NOT have the money to buy serials for all this other software.  THANKS A LOT FOR SCREWING ME.  would you please now HACK my computer again and fix this????  I should not be forced to update all my software if I DO NOT WANT TO!
    If Adobe does not remedy this I will cancel everything and find other stuff to use.  Too bad, because I prefer this software, but there is always another alternative...
    FIX THIS!!!!!

  • I need to change the storage hard drive for both lightroom and Photoshop from my C drive to F drive

    How do I change my storage drive from C to F in both lightroom and photoshop as I am running out of space on my C drive?

    Storage Drive ??  Photoshop.   What Platform and OS are you running.
    I use PC therefore Windows. When I thing about Application like Photoshop I know the are going to be files all over the place.  Windows like everything installed on the Boot disk.  I gave up the fight many years ago and let windows have it way when application are installed using an installer.  However besides the application files you have user files and I break user files down into to categories. Windows User files like applications settings, preferences, cashes, etc and user Data Files,  Images, text documents, PDF.   Applications like Photoshop also have add-ons an need swap space as well.  While all Windows default library reside on the C: drive you can add additional storage  to you document, music, picture and video libraries the are not on the c: Most of my user data file are actually on external ESATA drives or USB3 drives.  System files, Application Files, Paging, swapping and backup are on internal SSd and Fast Disk drive. Some of the folder that look like they are on C: are actually shortcut links to folders on other drives.

  • How to make colors looks same in Lightroom and Photoshop?

    The colors of JPGs with sRGB colorspace are displayed differently between Lightroom and Photoshop and other image view applications.
    I edited RAW images in Lightroom and export them to JPG files with sRGB colorspace, but their colors are eventually different from what I saw in LR.
    (I set ProPhoto as the colorspace for my Photoshop.)
    Is there anything I can do to solve this problem? Or maybe to reduce the color difference?
    What is the best I can do to manage colors for those images that I want to share on the internet?
    Thank you !!! 

    If colours look different between two colour managed applications such as LR and PS then you have either not calibrated your monitor at all or are using a corrupt monitor profile.
    If the former you require a calibration device, such as a Spyder (lots of other around). If the second then re calibrate.
    In the meantime you can set your monitor to use a colour space such as sRGB as a profile. This is not a solution, it is a temporary fix. Using a colour space as a monitor profile is not colour management, but will at least make the colour appear the same on your monitor.
    There are some useful links concerning colour management and LR here you may wish to read.

    Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
    Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.

  • Payment made for lightroom and photoshop joint package, still prompted for serial number

    payment made for lightroom and photoshop joint package, still prompted for serial number which I have not been given. what do i do next?

    Hi ,
    I think you have downloaded the program directly from adobe. As you have the Photography plan, then you have to download this from Creative Cloud Desktop then they will be activated through with your email address. Then it will not ask for serial number.
