Printout is too dark. PSE 7, Windows Vista

Hi,
My name is JPSingh. After editing when I print the photo is darker than the display. This does not happen when printing the same image with the same printer driver when I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Canon Easy Photo PrintX.  The settings in Photoshop are:
Edit/Color Settings: No Color Setting or Always Optimize for Printing (does not affect print- still too dark),   Print Color Managem
ent: Color Handling/ Photoshop manages color, Printer Preference: Canon MX850/ Color Intensity: Manual, Printer Profile:created by C
olorMunki (works with other photo editing programs), Rendering Input: Perceptual
Browser: Firefox
Operating System: Windows Vista
Printer model / driver version: Canon MX850
Video display card / driver version: Windows/System32/drivers
Would like to hear soon.

Try using Color Management as : Printer Manages Color and check whether it makes any difference.

    Don,
    I recommend that you look at
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Reset_the_Organizers
    You may need to scroll down to the choice for
    b Reset the Organizer's online-services state
    if the link does not directly take you to that specific entry
    Because you reported that you had a failure in a previous online service attempt I think it is very probable that you need to reset the online services.
    FYI - Uninstalling and reinstalling does not reset these user related parameters

  • Prints too dark after moving to vista 64 bit home premium

  • Get error 998 when starting Multisim 10 on Windows Vista Home Basic PC (Ultiboard too)

    Hi,
    I´m getting 2 errors when I start Multisim and Ultiboard, which are:
    Error loading library C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Circuit Design Suite 10.0\Autoroute.dll, ('998')
    The data area passed to a system call is too small.
    AND
    Error loading library C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Circuit Design Suite 10.0\DDFlink.dll, ('998')
    Invalid access to memory location.
    and after that it freezes, does anyone know what to do?
    I´ve already tried running it as an administrator, and in Windows XP compatability mode...
    Thanks for any help,
    John

    Hi Yetti!
    Unfortunately at the moment Multisim 10 is not supported under Windows Vista. There should be a patch very shortly for it. One recommendation i can make is that you uninstall the circuit design and that at reinstalling you dont allow the SSU to install any update. I can't guarantee this will work but it may fix a few things for you.
    Best Regards!

  • Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
    Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
    I hope that will work.

  • Images edited in PSE10 and saved as Jpegs open up too dark on the desktop. OS is windows 7.

    Hi I have a new Laptop runnings Windows 7 Home Premium. I installed PSE10 this week. I uploaded scans of my artwork and I resized them and adjust the blue colour (by only one click/ or 1 shade of blue.) I saved the image as a Jpg - high. It opens up on the desktop far too dark. How do I save the images to the desktop so that I can update my website using jpgs from teh desktop.
    Thank you

    Dear Ken
    I did as you suggest. Saving it for web and I increase blue by one grade and I get a workable jpg. But that bit too dark in comparison to the original. I had the colour setting correctly set. I can save the particular image with the right colours using pse5 on my old Laptop. On the new laptop if I use "increase" blue to lighten up the image it appears too blue in emails and also on my website it will give the wrong colour as if it is overblue....
    Your answer is very reassuring and I will do as you suggest.
    Many Thanks

  • Why will PSE 12 not open on PC, Windows Vista?

    I downloaded PSE 12 a few days ago. After downloading, I opened PSE 12 and everything appeared OK, so I uninstalled PSE6.
    When opening it again, PSE 12 transferred all my pictures to the Organizer, but the Editor would not open.
    After re-opening PSE 12 again, neither the Organizer, nor the Editor will open.
    PSE 12 appears to be installed on my computer in my program files.  I am using a PC - Windows Vista.
    Please inform me on what to do.
    Thanks

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • In Photoshop Elements12 (with Windows 8.1) added titles to my pictures do not appear in Windows. Formerly, in PSE 6 (with Windows Vista) added tiltles also appeared in Windows.

    Formerly using Photoshop Elements 6 with Windows Vista I could add (or change) titles to my pictures in the Organizer and find the same titles afterwards also in Windows. Nowadays using Photoshop Elements 12 with Windows 8.1 and adding titles to my pictures in the Organizer I do not find these titles in Windows any more. That makes me sad because I want to have the titles in Windows but adding the titles is much more comfortable in Photoshop Elements than in Windows. Please tell me: Is there a help for me?

    I have a Dell U3014 as well as a couple of older Dells turned up sideways as "ears".
    Other than supplying the desktop "theme" (if you can call a complete lack of style along with a fair bit of inconsistency a "theme"), the OS really shouldn't be causing you to have a washed-out desktop experience.  That's more a
    matter of your display driver not really doing its job.  What video card do you have?
    FYI, one of the reasons I like Aero Glass for Win 8.1 (a 3rd party package) is that it allows me to make the desktop more pleasant to use and helps set the client areas (i.e., where work gets done) apart from the window chrome.
    From what I can see, the color-management logic in Windows 8.1 is essentially unchanged from what it was in Windows 7.  That there has been NO progress in this area is really a disappointment.  It's an area where Microsoft has again just stopped
    trying to make improvements.
    If it's at all interesting to you, here's a screen grab of a REALLY cluttered up desktop.  I don't normally work this way; this was an exercise to see how much I could get running.  I finally gave up starting more stuff as I grew tired
    and it just kept working fine...

  • How can I install pse 7 in Windows Vista, when it keeps saying I have a prior version?

    I'm trying to install pse 7 in Vista
    --the program keeps saying I have a prior version installed which I need to remove.
    I can't find any prior version.

    Try the link below and remove all the entries of PSE 7 from the machine as specified in the link below:

    Afterwards, try to install PSE7 again. Hopefully it will work then.

  • Printouts too dark on Laserjet CP2025, HP Basic Color Match tool crashes.

    I recently purchased an HP Color LaserJet CP2025, but my prints are coming out extremely dark causing me to have to use extreme brightness/contrast increases when printing pictures.
    I tried using the HP Basic Color Match tool hoping it would address the issue, but ever time I get to the color match choice option the program crashes.
    I'm using 32-bit WinXP Pro.

    Here is a link  to a document that addresses print quality issues for your model or printer. It will give you troubleshooting steps to try in an attempt to correct the quality output issue that you are having with the printer. One of the topics covered in the article is how to adjust print density settings if the pages are printing too dark. It also covers how to change other print settings based on the quality of your output. I hope that this helps.

  • Photoshop saves JPEG images much too dark--any ideas?

    Hi there, I'm having an issue with my Photoshop applications and I was hoping someone could give me a little insight/help in fixing the problem.
    When working with a file in Photoshop (I am an artist, so I usually create my files from scratch rather than loading them from a camera), I can get the colors to appear as they should in the workspace. When I finish artwork, I make sure the colors are exactly as I want them, then save it as a JPEG file. However, if I open this JPEG file in any application--browsers, photo viewing programs--it is extremely dark and saturated. If I open the JPEG in Photoshop, though, it looks fine. This issue seems to have occurred spontaneously 3-4 months ago. I don't recall changing or deleting any of my monitor or video card preferences, or my color profiles. I was working with Photoshop Elements 4.0 at the time, and it suddenly started happening.
    Now, I have found a sort of work-around for it. If I screencap my workspace with the artwork open in it, then I can open up that screencap in Photoshop. The colors are much TOO bright and washed out when I do this, but if I crop the image so it's just the artwork and save it, then it displays in browsers and viewing programs more or less as it should, i.e. how I see it in Photoshop. However, if I open that JPEG in Photoshop, it will display much brighter than the original artwork.
    It's not a desperate issue since I have this weird work-around, but I'm currently trying to save images for printing--which means they need to be very large, and I'm not keen on zooming to 100% and screen-capping the art piece by piece, then stitching it all together before saving it. I'd really like to get this issue resolved. I thought it might have to do with the fact that I was using outdated software (PSE 4.0), but I've just recently upgraded to CS5 Extended and the same issue prevails.
    If it's any help, I'm working on an HP EliteBook 8740w, with Windows 7 and an NVIDIA Quadro video card.
    Here are the things I've tried, which haven't worked:
    Deleting Photoshop preferences/settings (in both PSE 4.0 and CS5)
    Uninstalling and re-installing both programs
    Re-calibrating my monitor
    Changing color settings in Photoshop (files still end up dark regardless)
    Disabling OpenGL Drawing
    Switching between file types when saving
    I am at my wit's end! I am mostly concerned that my clients and professors aren't going to see my work as it is intended to look, when they view it online. The erratic behavior of too-dark or too-light, and my pictures seemingly never displaying correctly on any browser or in any program, has me a little paranoid about my online portfolio, haha. I'm applying for an art scholarship in a month, and if none of my work will save correctly (much less print correctly!) then it will be a sad day indeed!
    As I said before, this problem seems to have popped up out of nowhere. My artwork from before the whole saving-too-dark issue began still displays perfectly in most programs, but the rest is totally hit-and-miss. If any of you have fixes or suggestions (even suggestions on adjusting Photoshop so that my images display more consistently in browsers and other programs) I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks so much for your time,
    -Jenna

    Though you have solved your problem, be aware, that different applications have different ways to interpret color profiles that can be set in different ways.
    Example:
    In Firefox, you can either set a color profile or not -- AFAIK, it only works with v2 ICC profiles (vs. v4, v3 seems to have not been released).
    From that point, you can set perceptual, absolute, colormetric, or one other...(forget)... but usually you just set that to perceptual for monitor work as I understand it.  Then a 3rd FF setting (all in its registry, of course, though occasionally there are extensions that let you manage the three settings.  They correspond to values (accessible through 'about:config' in FF's address window), all under the prefix:
    "gfx.color_management."
    "display_profile"  -  text string of file containing a v2 ICC profile, usually in "C:\Windows\System32\Spool\drivers\color\" (at least on Win7) -- extention ".icm"
    "mode" -- when to turn it on (2=for pics that have profiles set, another is for always (1?)), maybe 0=off?
    "rendering_intent" - this corresponds to perceptual, abs, colormetric, types, I think 0=perceptual (default)
    for FF, if you google one of those values, you'll find more info on some mozillian-type site... "prefix<keyname>" (e.g. -  gfx.color_management.display_profile ).
    Other progs may have their own or if we are lucky would use the system profile & color management system (assuming it is any good).
    Getting an accurate monitor profile and keeping it updated as your monitor 'decays' (i.e. color is usually best when new, then they decay, w/useful life at max gamut ~ 18 months (in my experience), after that, you can still retune to the same white point, but with a loss of gamut due to the phosphors decaying at different rates).
    It's best to use some sort of external calibration HW... -- as an external device looking at your monitor through it's various colors is the only way to get a 'digitally objective' measurement.  That said, I always have concerns about the stability of the measuring device over time.  Does it have components that  that could cause non-linear measurement?  Am guessing not as likely, as it isn't emitting anything so less wear & tear, but I wouldn't assume it's 100% accurate over time either (but certainly is better than one's own eye which can gradually adjust to just about anything).  I had a viewsonic when I first got my current color device (a Spyder3), and it had gone from an original white point of 6500K down to 5700K -- and I had not noticed the difference (over 18-20 months)...
    I could bring it back in range, but had lost gamut, and was a bit below the sRGB (consumer grade) standard (which is some fractional
    value of the Adobe Photoshop or NTSC standards, which are similar in the size of their ranges, but slightly offset from each other).
    The result of all this -- I never really know how my images will look on other monitors, but I try to tag them w/my current monitor profile, hoping that if they care about color, they'll have some SW on their end that can make sense of it...but given my own experience in how SW on the same system handles color differently, I wouldn't say they were 'high hopes'... ;-)
