White backgrounds printing grey

Hello,
I am using CS 5.5 on a mac
Somehow, today I have managed to change the colour profiles and I can't figure out how to reset them. I don't usually adjust these profiles, but today I had printing problems with a HP printer and I adjusted them. This has made the problem much worse!
When I print, the white backgrounds print grey. If I close and open the document, it says not synchronised. I went to Bridge and selected one colour profile but it doesn't seem to have made much difference.
How can I get the settings back to how they were originally??!!
I can use Indesign at a novice level, but I rarely look under the bonnet!
Thanks for your help.

  • Images with white backgrounds are grey - macbook pro

    When I create an image in photoshop or save an image from the internet with a white background, when I save it, it comes out grey. Photoshop says it's white (#ffffff) but it's not.
    For example I made a banner with a white background on photoshop for my blog, which has a white background. But when I saved the image and uploaded it, the background of the image is grey and you can see the difference. How do you get it to be white again?

    Took a few more photos, completely dark. It's more apparent when you're looking directly at it. These blemishes are perfectly aligned and centered from each other. The bleeding around the edges seems normal, but also displays large shadows and along other areas the bleeding transitions into the shadow.
    Unfortuneately where I live there is no Genius bar to get this taken care of directly and once and for all. The display clearly needs to be replaced and a manufacturer defect, but the "Mac" service guys locally claim the defect is "barely" visible and accused me of causing the damage and claiming the blemish is above certain keys on the keyboard that cause it. Whichever. This MBP has had issues since the day it was purchased, logic board replaced, battery replaced, ultra drive replaced, etc... etc... this is becoming very annoying when I'm writing my Psychology papers for class. 
    I've been very patient with AppleCare each time I call, but I'm not receiving any support from Apple regarding this issue. Ridiculous!

  • White background printing red

    I have a trouble with my photoshop background and i don't know what...
    When i create a document in my photoshop cs3 with white object or white background, when i print on my laser or ink jet, it print with maybe 1 or 2 percent of red...i try in rgb or cmyk but it's the same thing. I don't understand...someone can help?

    Do you know that the white you see on the screen is really white? Could be a calibration problem between what screen shows and printer.

  • White background appears grey

    Still trying to learn my D7000 and still have lots of questions!!!!!
    Yesterday, I took a number of experimental shots (a red phone cord lying on a white background). The white background (an artists white canvas lying on the floor) was well lit from above using 5600K lights.
    The shots were all taken using auto focus, auto exposure, etc and in the view finder everything appeared to be correct, but on later viewing the photos, the white background appears to be grey.
    I have attached a sample image to show the grey colour.
    Can anyone explain why the background is grey --- especially when using the auto mode when taking the photos.
    I am not concerned about the picture quality only the grey background and I did not undertake a WB as I thought that this was part of the auto mode when taking the photo. the shot was taken by half pressing the shutter release butto to ensure that everything was OK then continuing to fully press the button.
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated

    Thank you for the information.
    In the viewfinder while taking the photos the background appeared to be fully white and when looking at the canvas, there was no obvious sign of any colour variation.
    Also, I was under the impression that when using auto mode, that everything (including automatic white balancing) was done for you by the camera.
    This camera is sure different to my trusty old Nikon F3 ---- looks like I will have to go back to the book and undertake a lot more reading (only up to page 50 so far!!!!!!!).

  • When I print my photoshop images white areas print grey

    Using my Epson Photo1500W images created in photoshop print grey in areas that should be White. There is no problem when I print images I have created in Illustrator or when I when I transfer the photoshop image into Illustrator. Any clues ? thanks Mikki

    Did this problem recently start, or has it always been this way? Maybe a Preferences reset would fix it.
    Windows - CTRL-SHIFT-ALT immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
    Macintosh - CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
    Look for the "Delete Photoshop Settings File" dialog and click "Yes".
    If that is not the case:
    Check your Printer settings, they are independent of Illustrator.
    Look at the Print Dialog, see what Color management section looks like.
    You  have a choice to let the Printer or Photoshop manage colors. See what works best.

  • My white background is grey!

    I have photographed a hand-drawn image, an ink line drawing on white paper.
    I need to print this digitaly.
    How do I get the background to appear white?

    Try this...
    I found a picture in Google Images similar to your case.
    Applied a Levels adjustment: clicked the Set White Point eyedropper and clicked on the gray area to convert it to white. I had to click in several places to get it all white.
    This faded the drawing somewhat so I did another Levels adjustment and moved the middle slider to the right to darken the lines.

  • Blank white background (no underlying grid) so i can remove grey lines

    i am sure this has come up before but i wasn't sure how to search for an answer.
    when i leave my spreadsheet alone for awhile it seems like the spreadsheet will show with a blank white background - no grey lines showing the underlying grid - and this view has let me see that there are some cells where i /accidentally/ have thin grey lines where they shouldn't be (it should just be blank). the problem is that if i click in the spreadsheet it automatically shows the grey /underlying/ grid and then i cannot see the thin lines.
    is there a way to get rid of the underlying grid temporarily so that i can get rid of these?
    i looked in the View pulldown and i don't think i saw anything appropriate.
    thank you

  • White background of image created in Photoshop prints as grey through iPhoto postal ordering service.

    I have created an image in Photoshop with a white background (I stuck with the default white background that the new image gave me). Over the top of this, I placed some images, saved it as a JPG, imported it into iPhoto and ordered it as a postcard-sized picture.
    When I received it in the post, the whole image had printed with a grey overtone: the white background was in fact grey, and the pictures over the top were darker.
    How can I resolve this to print my image with a truly white background through iPhoto's ordering service?
    Many thanks,
    Adam

    If unchecking the scene-referred profiles box clears the display problem in Photoshop, you most likely have hit a known bug with defective monitor profiling packages building defective monitor profiles that affect Photoshop and After Effects — specifically, the defective profile is erroneously marked as "scene referred."
    Version 4 ICC Profiles: If your are using v4 printing profiles, try Googling for more information...some symptoms of this bug are Photoshop prints a light cyan or blue in the page white areas. The Fix is to use Version 2 printer profiles.
    there is another old known issue that has to do with trying to Hard Proof simulate press conditions (printing cyan in whites) but i am not sure what you are trying and i can't recall it right now
    if those aren't it upload these screenshots of your workflow:

  • Print 3D PDF document with white background

    Hi!
    Is it possible to print a view from 3D PDF document with white background?
    I could not find any possibilty to change the grey background color, neither in the standard preferences nor in the print options...
    Thanks for your help!
    Kind regards,
    Mark

    Hi,
    As you experienced all DIALOG function modules will not work in Batch because the is no connection with a frontend (PC).
    You have to get your PDF on a server so you can process them in Batch.
    Maybe you can than use the FM: ALINK_DOCUMENTS_CREATE_FILE
    Success,
    Rob

  • Printing square picture. Outside area prints grey, not white

    I have been printing from Ap for years, and just noticed a new problem. I'm printing some square photos (cropped from rectangular), and when printed on my Epson 3800 the remainder of the rectangle is grey. This is NOT the case on my Canon 9000 printer, which prints a square pic on a white background. Oddly enough, the Canon has the same problem printing from Photoshop; the Epson prints perfectly from PS. Can anyone explain where there is a setting for the background color outside my cropped image?

    Have you tried more than one type of printer? I have seen this happen as a result of the drivers used for a particular printer. Also is the modified color table being passed to the control that's being printed?
    Could you post your code (in V6 format) along with one of your pictures?

  • Printer errors on white background

    I just got an "Out of Memory" error when printing.  Aside from the wasted paper, the error message is printed on a 50% grey background.
    On A3 paper at max quality, that's a lot of ink wa$ted.
    If we must print error messages on the printer, can we please have them on a white background?

    Anyone the same problem?

    please tell me am i thinking right
    about this method: setImageableArea(.....)
    public void setImageableArea(double x, double y,  double width, double height);
    like I said, I've tried this method and it doesn't seem to do anything.
    the width=the JFrame Width,the height=the JFrame Height right?actually, when printing, 72 points (printing version of pixels) = 1 inch, so to do WYSIWYG, you need width = JFrameWidth * 72.0 / Toolkit.getToolkit().getScreenResolution. Ditto with height
    upper left beginningx(0)---------------------------200--------------------------------600-----------------------------------y(1000)upper right beginningyou need to do something like PageSetup.getImageableX and do Graphics.translate(x,y);
    also, if your page width = 720, that = 10 inches - that's a wide page (unless its in landscape)
    so if i want the JFrame To Be In The Center Of The Page I Would Choose From x=200 ,y=600 depending that frame width is 400Actually, it would be 300 - 700 in your example
    Because when i tried to use:setImageableArea(200, 600,  400, 200);like the above code
    no changes occurs in the printed paperYes. You need to offset the Graphics object

  • PDF shows background color as white. Prints black. HELP!

    I'm trying to print the screen the way I see it which is a white background with black font and an image, but it won't.
    I went under preferences and accesibility and replaced document colors to black text and white background.
    However, it still prints in it's Image with black background format.
    Help, I've never written on one of these and this is frustrating! Thanks much!

    Nice tip. Yeah the spreadsheet is definately much close to perfect with Bridge/your method. I'm able to change the background to black and get rid of the gaps completely. It looks like this at the moment: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/8359/bridge1c.jpg
    There's just one problem. I can only save the file as PDF, when instead I'd like to save it as .jpg or .png, but I guess I could work around this and batch autoconvert all of those PDF spreadsheets into JPG or PNG format with Photoshop after I'm done making all of the spreadsheets.
    Thanks alot for the help!

  • PDF Print, white background?

    When I export my .indd doc to a PDF (Print) it looks great. But when I print it out, some text has a white background and my drop shadows turn white. This is resolved by exporting to PDF (Interactive) but I intend to print this doc and want it to be the highest quality!
