Where is print with preview in cs5?

Hey guys!
I have a huge problem. I run a small screenprinting company
We just upgraded from CS to CS5.
We use photoshop to via channels seperate CMYK pictures for imprint on clothes etc.
In the old "print with preview" dialog box there was a choice where you could change the screen angles and lpi to get different raster when you make film positives. This choice is not available any more but is a very important feature that I need badly to be able to use photoshop.
Is there another way to do this?
Please respond quickly
Thank you
B rgds

So here's the printing engineer.
The reason "Screen" was removed was that it was using PostScript Level I screen commands which did not work correctly on many Level 2 and Level 3 printers. And on most RIPs / PostScript printers, there is a way to set the default screen angles and frequencies. We didn't have the time to fix the problem correctly, so after some discussion, we decided to remove it and add it to our feature list for the future, making sure to do it in a way that's compatible with newer printers, while maintaining compatibility with the old, too.
The good news is that it's not entirely removed. If the screen settings were working for you in an early version of Photoshop, and you save a document with those screen settings from that earlier version, you can print that document from Photoshop CS5 (to a PostScript printer) and the settings that are saved in the document will be used. If you change anything in the "Output" portion of the Photoshop print dialog, they'll likely be clobbered, but if you don't, they seem to work correctly (it's hard for me to say with 100% certainty, as I don't have a printer available which actually uses the old screen commands, so I'm stuck reading the PostScript, but the commands are in there with an old document that I saved from CS3, and it appears there were no changes to the output settings between CS and CS3).
So what you can do is make a document with Photoshop CS with the correct screen settings in it, then open that document in CS5, paste in new content, and Save As... a new file (so you don't clobber the document you created), you should be able to make any number of new documents in CS5 which will screen the way you want. You will also need to go into "Print Settings" to get the page setup correctly, but you could also save that information into the file you re-use so you don't have to do it every time.
I know it's not a perfect solution, and it's pretty clunky. Sorry about that. I'm hoping to get time to add back the screen functionality in a way that will work with today's printers.

CS5 Disabling Print with Preview

I have this problem where some images, not all, when I go to the print dialog box (File->Print) and then print the image, it brings up preview first and then prompts to click print at the bottom. You all know what this is; it's Print with Preview. But I don't want ths. We have this fancy copier at work and the copier codes are not sent when using this method and thus it won't print the image.
Some of the images when you hit "print" it will go directly to the printer. The only thing I can seem to figure out is that those images that are flattened (jpeg's or even PSD files that are flattened) use Print with Preview and images that have alpha transparencies or layers go directly to the printer.
How do I prevent Print with Preview alltogether? I can't make it stop going to the "Preview" application.

Go into the "Print Settings" dialog. If you exit that dialog by clicking "Preview", the print will go to Preview.app. If you exit that dialog by clicking "Save", the print will go to the printer.
The settings are saved with the document, and also in the application preferences as the default for new documents that don't have settings.

Colours in 'Print with Preview' window are wrong

I am using Photoshop CS on a Mac G4 (PPC) with OS X 10.4.11.
I usually use 'Print with Preview' to print photographs. I used to get good results, but something seems to have changed (or I have accidentally changed a setting somewhere). When I open an image in Photoshop, the colours on my monitor (which I regularly calibrate) look right. But when I go to 'Print with Preview', the image shown in the small layout window is now much darker, reds are more brown and in general the colours look quite wrong. And what is even worse is that when I print, the results match the wrong colours in the Preview window and not the correct colors that I see when I look at the image directly in Photoshop.
I attach a screenshot, showing (on the left) a colour test image opened directly in Photoshop CS and (on the right) how it looks in the Preview window.
Can anyone suggest what may have gone wrong? I should be very grateful for suggestions.

The words that helped [me] the most to understand Photoshop color management theory are:
Color Management starts with a good monitor profile (to PROOF the color accurately on the monitor), and Color Management ends with a good target profile to PROOF the color accurately on the print.
The file (the document's Source Color Space) is independent of Photoshop:
The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the monitor profile for one thing: To PROOF source file on the monitor (the monitor profile has zero to do with how the file prints).
The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the printer (target) profile Print Space for one thing: To PROOF source file on the paper (the printer profile Print Space has zero to do with how the file looks on the monitor).
+++++
While this simple PROOFING ANALOGY doesn't address the pitfalls of relying on a bad monitor to evaluate and adjust digital color, it does make two important facts about Photoshop and professional color-managed printing workflows:
1) The printer can PROOF (print) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the monitor is set up, and
2) The monitor can PROOF (display) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the printer is set up.
Getting a known good file (like the Adobe RGB—or better yet the ProPhoto RGB—PDI Photodisc-GettyImages RGB reference image) into Photoshop allows me to evaluate the monitor alongside the print to help me identify where the problem is occurring.
+++++
BTW, thank you for the helpful and solved hits.

Print with preview different than image using ICC's

Hello;
I am using CS2. Suddenly when I print with preview and choose "any" icc profile, I see an off color image. This off color image is printed off color and not what I originally had. It is approximately 1/2 to one stop density lighter (and redder) and the shadows are cyan/blue, instead of neutral black.
If I choose Adobe RGB as the profile and print, the image is close but not correct. This is happening with CS2 and elements 6.
Of course the r1800 is set for ICM and off - no color adjustment.
I have down loaded new profiles, reinstalled my epson r1800, checked for missing files in CS2.
I am running windows XP Home, 2gig memory, dell xps. I have been using this system for over two years without a problem until now.
Does any one know where I can check for the problem and how to correct for it?
Thanks

I can't determine whether you mean the print preview dialog's image, or the
preview that is optionally displayed by the Epson driver. The preview
shown by the Epson driver (as opposed to the one shown in the CS2 print
preview dialog) is misleading. The reason is that the RGB values for the
printer are being displayed directly on your monitor. Epsons tend to print
a bit on the cool side, so it's normal for the image to have an overall
reddish look to it.
You say two other things that seem ambiguous to me. One is that if you
choose "any" icc profile, the colors change. Does this include your
monitor profile, and other profiles such as sRGB and Adobe RGB? If they
all appear the same, then I would suspect that something is highly out of
kilter here - for example that you have ICC enabled in your printer driver
settings and are double profiling. The second thing is that the final
printed output matches the off color preview image. I have no explanation
for this, other than random coincidence.
It's hard to be definitve, about either of the above points, because I'm
not sure which preview image you are referring to.
> If I choose Adobe RGB as the profile and print, the image is close but
> not correct. This is happening with CS2 and elements 6.
Printing to Adobe RGB should produce very subdued colors, yet you are
seeing close to normal colors. Again, a puzzle that would cause me to
check your printer driver settings. It is very easy to double profile, and
with Epson's this almost always produces a magenta image.
> Of course the r1800 is set for ICM and off - no color adjustment.
For Windows, I'm used to the Epson drivers providing you with about four
choices, which include a "no color adjustment" choice, manual,
PhotoEnhance, and an "ICM" choice. On the Mac, I believe you can select
ICM from a pulldown, then disable color adjustment with a separate check
box which disables the pulldown. If you could explain this descrepancy
that might be helpful.
> I have down loaded new profiles, reinstalled my epson r1800, checked for

Next step is to reset your prefs - hold down shift, ctrl, alt during
startup and say yes when it asks for your first born child.

Read Ian Lyons's web page on how to set up your color prefs
http://www.computer-darkroom.com/ps9_colour/ps9_1.htm
After resetting your prefs, and going over your color settings, I would
advise you to do a systematic test as follows:
o Set your printer, and photoshop's working space to sRGB mode
o Create a one inch by 8 inch neutral gradient
o Print it, and verify that the gradient is reasonably neutral, and about
the right brightness.
o Set your printer to no color correction
o Have Photoshop print using the profile for your printer
o If the gradient looks wrong - too dark, or with color casts as you
descrive, the problem may be a bad profile. Use Curvemeister's profile
plotter to get an idea of the quality of the profile, whether it has abrupt
breaks, etc.
http://curvemeister.com/downloads/profileplotter/dercurvemeisterprofileplotter.zip
If you decide the profile is bad, and cannot find another one, then live
with PhotoEnhance mode over sRGB, and specify sRGB as the printer profile
in Photoshop. Work that way until you find a better profile.

Print with Preview: Screen option

Might be a bit obscure but this is a question about the screen option in print with preview.
For the purposes of photoetching (transferring a half tone positive image onto a metal plate through the use of photosensitve film for the purposes of fine art printmaking) I am trying to print a black and white photographic image using my epson printer. I have been told that by adjusting the screen option in print preview it can convert my black and white photograph into a version that has finely spaced white dots in the black / grey areas. I have tried completely different ways of doing this (eg. the mezzotint effect) but this doesn't have the desired effect. The fine dots are needed so that one it is transferred to a metal plate and etched the ink will hold in these tiny dots (or the spaces between them).
Anyone have an idea how the screen option works? I have been told it may be totally dependent on the type of printer I have. The following link explains the process and mentions they use an inkjet printer.
http://artmondo.net/printworks/articles/photshop.htm
Even if you can't help me please can anyone explain what the screen option does as I have experimented with it and it does seem to add fine dots of sorts to the image, although very fine dots which I may be confusing with the grain of the paper.
http://artmondo.net/printworks/articles/photshop.htm

When Print screen comes up, I click on print, but the option for selection is not bold. I cannot access it to print a selection that I have highlighted.What am I doing wrong? The only options available to me are "all" and "pages". In order to print I must send an e-mail to another server and then print the selection from there. This a very convoluted way of printing. There must be something easier in Firefox.

HT2506 Is there anyone else who is having problems printing with Preview since upgrading to Lion OS X?

Since upgrading to Lion OS X, I have not been able to print any of my documents that were created in Adobe PDF. All calls to customer support have been a bust.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, selectHelp from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Mar 11, 2012 4:13 PM (in response to Linc Davis)
Did all of that yesterday, with the Apple Representative on the phone, and nope, still a problem...it was kind of exciting, really, they kept going up and up the tiers of support until I got disconnected...Fortunately I had the email address of the gentleman who was helping me so that I could email him back and let him know that we got disconnected...as you might imagine, he still has not emailed me back. They were able to receive a copy of the form that I use for charting and try it in their facility on their computers, so we know:
1- it is not just my computer.
2- it occurred only after installing Lion OS X, not sure if they have tried it on Snow Leopard, but that's what I would have done if I was them...assuming that somewhere in Apple someone has not upgraded to Lion.
3- it is not just my software.
I think the problem is with the newer iteration of Preview not communicating well with the Adobe .pdf. probably some line of coding that needs to be written and insertedinto their program for multiline text.
:-) Thank you for your help!

Cannot Use Printer with my Photoshop CS5. Error Message.

I am encountering a problem that I never have before. When Click on File>Print I get this error message: "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."
This happened suddenly. I had been printing with no problem just a few minutes prior. I did nothing unusual that I can recall to have caused this error message. I am using a Mac Pro using OS 10.9.5.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Have a problem with Preview in CS5

Hi,
I recently upgraded from dreamweaver CS3 to CS5.
In version CS3 when having made any changes to html code and/or (external) CSS files and/or (external) JS files these changes were automatically 'saved' when selection Preview to see the changes in my browser on my local testing machine. Upon selecting Preview Dreamweaver asks only once "The file xxx.css has been modified. Do you wish to save the file before putting?" Options Yes, Yes to all, No, No to all.
After selection Yes or yes to all, any changes I made in a file, wether it is HTML code of CSS files, can directly be viewed in my browser by selecting Preview.
In dreamweaver CS5 however I have to manually save each file I've made changes in. In some webpages I do have 5 or 6 external CSS files attached and several js files. When I make modifications to the webpage and CSS files I do have to save each seperate CSS file, then select Preview AND refresh the browser to see the modifications I made.
I made shure all settings I have in CS3 are the same in CS5, but maybe I'm missing something.
This is absolutly not the way I want to work. Any one else having the same problem? Any solutions?
If this is how CS5 uses Preview I do have to 'Upgrade' again to CS3 !
Thanks for any help.

Hi Bob,
I've exactly the same site-options.
Problem still remains. Adobe looked into it and told me that the function I described no longers exists in CS5.
I referred to your respons and screen shots, and now there are looking into it again.
I hope they come up with a solution because the 'problem' is bigger than I thought at first.
In CS3, and I suppose it is the same in your CS5, I had to just once click on Yes to all, al during the complete session
of working on that particular page, I could keep on using preview without getting the prompt.
Now I have to save manually the files eacht time I use preview. And that is > 100 times a day. Not happy I am.

Digital signature not showing in PDF when opened and printed with Preview

Not being able to find anything after searching high and low, I thought I would try my luck here: when I certify a PDF file using a visible signature in Adobe Acrobat Professional that signature does not show when I open the file in Preview or print it from Preview. Preview's Inspector information also claims that I can make changes, which I instructed Adobe not to allow.
Thanks for any feedback on this!

Try re-uploading the PDF and then updating the course. Sometimes the conversion doesn't take and the tracking doesn't apply correctly to a PDF.

Printing with ColorSync Problems!

I cannot seem to print anything with Aperture using ColorSync for color management. I have set my monitor to Cinema display calibrated (yes, I have) and I set all the epson stylus photo 1800 settings, choosing ColorSync for color management, but my prints come out like darkened mud.
If I print with photoshop I get great prints, if I print with Preview and ColorSync I get reasonably good prints.
Any ideas?
dual 2gHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I figured out, after a while, that in the print settings window of Aperture you must set the color settings in 2 places. In the printer settings, as one would expect. But then there is a second drop down menu below the printer settings where you must set the printer/paper profile match that you want.
Once I figured that out, I am getting consistently more accurate color matches to what I see onscreen than I was in Photoshop.
(I use a 20" Apple Cinema Display with Monaco Optix color calibration)
Thanks for the suggestions though.

Printing with Adobe reader produces blurry fonts

Hello,
I've recently bought a Canon Pixma MP220, installed and updated with the latest drivers for OSX 10.4 from the Canon website.
When I print pdf documents with the Adobe reader (8.1.2), the printed fonts are really blurry and the speed of the printer is slow, even for black/white text-only documents.
The same document printed with Preview looks fine and the printer is faster than the previous case. Note that the printer configuration is the same in both cases.
Other applications, such as Word 04, print fine; so it seems an Adobe related configuration issue. Any idea?
Thanks,
Vittorio

I was thinking this part onward...
"Adjust resolution for copied images
Image resolution is always an important consideration when copying and pasting data and when viewing images on screen or on printed pages. Screen resolutions are optimal at 72 pixels per inch (ppi) at 100% size. If you zoom in to a 72-ppi image, you quickly see image degradation. If you want to print documents containing images, 72 ppi is insufficient for almost every printer. You need higher resolutions in order to print images that look satisfactory.
You may want to copy images or page data in Adobe Reader at higher resolutions than the standard monitor view of 72 ppi. Adobe Reader has a special setting that lets you capture data at different resolutions.
To capture data at a user-definable resolution:
1.
Open the Preferences dialog by pressing Ctrl/Command+K.
2.
Select General in the left pane. In the Selection pane, check the Use fixed resolution for snapshots box (Figure 4).

3.
Change the number in the Resolution box. Type a number—like 300—that might be used for printing images at better quality.

I cannot print with CS5

I cannot print from CS5 for several weeks now.
I've tried everything I found on forum : upgrade printers drivers (I've got two printers), removed the printer from the computer and reinstalled, change the name of the printers, upgrade Photoshop (it was allready uptodate). I can print from any other software without any trouble.
Sometime, it will let me print one copy of a file for not apparent reason and then back to square one.
I'm on Windows XP (uprgraded everything I could on this too).
I've got two printers a samsung CLP-315 and an Epson Stylus c68 that work perfectly with other software. I have to convert my files in jpg and then print with another software... so then I can forget about color management!
I also tried the work around seen in the forum, printing from the preview from the printer but mine does not offer that option.
I don't know what to try anymore and find that really frustrating! Any help will be more then welcome!

Certainly, the article you linked to lists the first things anyone here would tell you to try. Is there a reason you stopped after only the first two? The two I would try next are; resetting your preferences and, failing that, uninstalling then reinstalling the priner on that computer.

How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)

How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)
To punch Binder Holes.
Should be easy ... Make a Custom page with a wider left margin ... easy to set up, but it does not actually work for any printer I am connected to.
Info so far:
Found an older post from 2002 ... "Make a custom page"
Mac Help has a limited, simple, incomplete answer: "Make a custom page"
Tried three printers. One Postscript Level 3 One Level 2 and one non postscript
Switching between page types in the drop down shows a change in the print preview, and the floating information shows the correct page size and larger left margin... but the "Custom Page Size" does not show a larger left margin, in the preview, no mater how it is set.
There also appear to be a relation ship between the radio Buttons for scale and the margin settings.
Test prints have simply cut off the left side of the document, and scaled the document from the right side in and the top down.
Printing a PDF from Preview
MacBook Pro
OSX 10.5.6
Thanks
Peter

Thanks ... tried the Paper Handling, but no lock.
Based on the fact that any scaling, "moves" the image down and to the left on the paper ...
Th only "work around" solution is to ...
Rotate the PDF page 180, then scale slightly (90% or so ...)
This pushes the upside down page, down and to the left.
While this is the opposite of what is desired, the print is then correct when
it is punched and placed into a three ring binder.
Assumption is the application that creates the documnt, needs to have the paper margins set. The reality is, an application like Preview, that does not "create anything", needs to handle existing documents PDF, JPEG and print to Custom Page configurations.
ie: In Preview, Custom Page does not work correctly,
Thanks allfor the comments and help ...
