Suddenly Getting Green prints in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 2.6

Photoshop CS5 12.0.1 x32, and Lightroom 2.6
Windows XP SP 3
Printer: Epson R1900, Software 6.61 (current)
HP LJ2475W Monitor
I have been running and printing from Photoshop since 5.0. I have had CS5 several months, and probably printed 20 or so pictures (matte, gloss, lustre, from 5x7 to A3). Last weekend, I just wanted to print a quick 5x7 of my wife at my daughter's wedding. The print looks fine in Photoshop, and in the Photoshop print preview, but when it gets to the Epson print preview, the colors are distorted and very green. This is the way it prints also. I get the same results from multiple pictures includeing those I have printed with no issue before, and in Lightroom 2.6. The only thing I can print successfully is a PDF I constructed a few years back in Photoshop with a bar of each color and a black-to-white gradient (I use this to "exercise" the inks when I don't have something to print during a week).
I worked with the technician from Epson last night, and it is not a problem with the printer. Using the WIndows Picture and Fax viewer, I was able to print the same picture (and several others) with no issues what so ever, and with all the correct colors. When printing, I used the same ICC file I was using in Photoshop.
I have rebooted multiple times, I have downloaded the latest printer driver from Epson, along with the lastest ICC files that they supply, all with no results. Again, it prints fine outside of Photoshop CS5 (Lightroom 2.6 has the same issue), but has corrupted colors within Photoshop.. I have no clue what to adjust or change to get it to print correctly again.
I have downloaded and installed the lateset Adobe patches when prompted to do so, as I do with the Micrsoft patches. Other than that, I haven't had any recent downloads. It was working correctly 2 weeks ago, the last time I printed (this is used almost exclusively for Photoshop and Proshow Producer).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I don't want to have to be limited to other programs to print my photos.

I think I'm seeing a trend of double (or multiple) color transformations here...
SOMETHING, somewhere, is causing the inability to turn off ALL color management outside of Photoshop, so that one cannot use the "Photoshop Manages Colors" setting without getting multiple transformations.
Has Windows itself perhaps added a color management stage somewhere in the mix?
Has something changed that causes the Color Management: Off setting in the printer drivers to be ineffective, or more complex than just "on" or "off"?
What do we know so far?
With CS5, many people using Epson printers cannot get reasonable print colors unless they use the Printer Manages Colors setting in Photoshop. I don't know what they're choosing in the printer drivers because I don't have an Epson.
I personally have seen evidence of double profiling (magenta looking print) with my HP printer when Photoshop is set to Printer Manages Colors. This is kind of the opposite problem from what people are reporting about Epsons.
The ICM Method setting in my HP drivers has an entry entitled ICM Handled by Host System, which is SEPARATE from ICM Disabled.
Given the above, a person could be forgiven for thinking there are more combinatorial choices than just these two:
Photoshop Manages Colors and "ICM disabled in the printer / drivers"
Printer Manages Colors and "ICM handled by the printer / drivers"
What does the Epson printer driver color management selection look like?

Nvidia Quadro 600, GeForce GTX 560 Ti or cheaper for Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3?

Hello,
I am a professional photographer and I am setting up a new PC (i7, Windows 7 64bit). But I have some troubles to choose the graphic card.
I use Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 3, no video editing.
Between the Open GL, Open CL, CUDA accelerations etc ... professional graphic cards models and consumer ones I am lost!
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti seems more powerful and more versatile but I tell myself that if Nvidia has professional range there must be a reason.
So in Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 what would be the best: GeForce GTX 560 Ti or Nvidia Quadro 600?
http://www.geforce.com/Hardware/GPUs/geforce-gtx-560ti/specifications
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-600-us.html
Any reason to get a Quadro 2000?
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-2000-us.html
Or the graphic card doesn’t matter much and I should take an entry-level GeForce to enjoy the HDMI and the silence? Which one then?
Does the Quadro 600 manages 10bits display 10bits? And the Geforce?
Any change announced with Photoshop CS6 and Ligthroom4?
The only 3D application I use is Google Earth in 3D mode, does it make any difference?
Thank you for your help.

You say "no video editing"... If that's going to be the case, and you won't use the Mercury engine in the Adobe Premiere Pro package, which needs the nVidia Cuda subsystem, then I recommend you consider the ATI brand over nVidia.
Why?
Because while neither brand's developers (ATI or nVidia) always release perfect drivers, I find ATI display drivers to be of consistently higher quality than that of nVidia releases. What this means to you is generally fewer crashes or quirks. ATI has also traditionally supported older cards into the future better than nVidia - this might matter to you in a few years.
People ask me what video card I would recommend, and right now that would be a VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 card. I like this particular card because:
I've had 100% success with VisionTek cards in a number of different systems, not only initially but they have all run as long as I have used them, without ever breaking down.
The 6670 model uses very little power (under 70 watts) and as such doesn't stress your computer's power supply, need a separate power connection, nor make a lot of fan noise.
It's not the fastest card made for 3D gaming, but it's inexpensive and excellent for Photoshop. No matter what you choose, you should get a card that scores over 500 on the Passmark GPU benchmark, ideally over 1000: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
The ATI Catalyst display driver implementations for the 4670/5670/6670 line of cards have been good and solid.
1 GB of on-card memory seems to be a good size, even for editing a lot of images, and GDDR5 memory provides faster access than DDR3.
You should know that besides using Photoshop heavily, I also develop OpenGL-based software as well, so I have some additional insight into driver implementations.

Which iMac for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom

Any opinions on which iMac is best for use with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. Not sure if the 2.7 i5 with 512 graphics card is Plenty of power or if upgrading to the 3.1 i5 or 3.4 i7 is a wiser choice given the price differences. Appreciate the help

So I was reading over your post, and even though this is older and has to do with CS5, I have some information for CS6 that will be relevant to your question now that it is time to upgade the software. In general Photoshop has always been more about RAM than Processing power, though that is important too. Until CS5 it could never quite take advantage of what multi-core processors really had to offer, and even the graphics card didn't really effect much of it outside of certain features and the 3D optio
Now that is no longer true and Adobe can effeciently use all aspects of the computer to give you much better performance.
So much so that I was able to buy a brand New ASUS with the following specs:
Dual Core 2.2GHz Processors
8GB of RAM (4GB original to the machine)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit OS
320GB HDD w/ 5400RPM
This machine not only runs photoshop CS6 and Launches in less than 5 Seconds... it can run Premier and After Effects as well, and this Laptop cost me less than $400 (on sale at Best Buy 2 Weeks Ago. You don't have to buy something this cheap, but isn't it great that you can and still run Master Collection effectively?

I must have my computer reimaged. I have Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5.7. How do I inform Adobe that I will be reloading these programs to the same computer?

I must have my computer reimaged. I have Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5.7. How do I inform Adobe that I will be reloading these programs to the same computer?

And to directly answer your question, you don’t inform Adobe, you merely deactivate PS, reimage, then reinstall and reactivate PS with the serial number(s), and relicense LR with the serial number(s).
If this computer isn’t yours and you don’t have the serial numbers, yourself, then that could be a problem, although there may be software that can find the serial numbers. On a PC platform, download and run the Belarc Security Advisor and see if it finds the serial numbers you need. It’ll only find the current product serial numbers, not the prior versions that an upgrade might be based on, so then you’ll be stuck.

Photoshop cs5 and Lightroom 5

I have Photoshop cs5 and have just bought Lightroom 5. My Camera Raw plug-in is up to date to version 6.3. I get a message once I try to edit into Photoshop cs5: This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.3 for full compatibility. I have used the update tool in Photoshop but still I get only version 6.3. Can someone inform me what I need to do to get the plug-in 8.3? Thank you.

Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom GUI

Does anyone know about plans of redesign the Photoshop CS5 UI?
In an older post Chris Cox said that it's on a feature request list.
Can we take a look on that feature request list?
Best regards

I think Lightroom is already a Photoshop Lite - hopefully photoshop can keep its pro features and customizable workspaces so we can work as we see fit.
I think as away to bring in lightroom users Adobe added the TAT tool and changed the adjustment windows to a panel. Not good changes in my opinion.
I prefer the extra features and capabilities offered by bridge/photoshop over lightroom. Each program has its use.

Colormanagment between Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5, Adobe RGB

Hello,
In Photoshop CS5 are the Colours, Brightness diffrent to Lightroom 5 as you can see in this picture:

CS5 and Lightroom 5 re-activation.

My friend Sari Ahonen asked me to contact you because of her computer (MacBook Pro) hard drive was destroyed and had to be replaced. On the hard drive of Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5. The hard disk was destroyed suddenly, so she did not have time to remove the programs activation. She has the same software also has an iMac computer, which they of course work. But how she is able to, they reactivate the laptop?

Thanks

The solution is fairly simple. If she doesn't have any record ( in email or with her copies of photoshop) she can call Customer service and they'll be able to give her her product key. After she re installs everything she will be good to go!

Can I have Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 on 2 computers? How do I do this?

Currently I have Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 4 on both my Mac Pro and my Macbook Pro. I also have Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 on my Mac Pro. I now have an iMac and would like to have Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 on it. Do I need to deactivate it from my Mac Pro to do this or how can I install them onto my new computer as well? Also can I still have CS5 and LR4 on my laptop? Thanks :-)

Each license allows for having working installations on two machines. Which two machines you use them on is your choice.

You need to download and install Camera Raw 6.7.1 for CS5. Once you have downloaded it, you need to install it while CS5 is closed.
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
Once downloaded, unzip/unpack the file, and run the executable to start the update, following the instructions.

I have Photoshop CS5 and my image processor and batch tool are gone. How do I get them back?
I went into edit preference and all the start up scrips are selected so what else is there?

When you installed CS5, you have a chance to register it. If you do, your serial number is on file under your Adobe (My Products). If you did not, you have no serial number on file and even worse, no proof you own it.
You do not have your serial number copied down anywhere? Hard to believe you tossed the dvd box and all the documents away.
So Help > Register might give you a chance to do this without you knowing the number.
If not, you may want to consider the Photography Plan. Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud
