Hey Folks,

I appear to be having a complete idiot attack. For some reason, I am getting a prevalent green outline/tint in many of my prints. This is new, and I am fairly positive that I am just doing something REALLY STUPID. If someone could help an old man out, I would appreciate it.

The print preview looks like mayhaps the image should be converted to sRGB?

Hey Jim,

The file is converted already to sRGB. I am wondering if I should have it set to Printer control or computer controls print profile? Also, is it relative colormetric or perceptual?

Thanks
James

Honestly, problems like this and my inability to replicate the answer when something goes wrong is why I switched to outsourcing my prints.

Printer controls color?

Hey Jim,

You are 100% correct, which is what I ultimately did. At the moment, I forgot a print and wanted to put it in and get the order completed.

James

Hey Preston,

By "Printer Controls Color," I guess I am referring to the profiles that I am using. Yes?

James

Nothing? I am getting desperate.

James

James,

I think what Preston was referring to is that you have the option selected in photoshop that the printer manages the colors - not photoshop. If this is is what you want, you have to make sure the printer is also set to manage the colors. If I read it correctly, your EPSON printer is set to NOT manage colors "no color management" - so it is expecting PS to do so.

So - Photoshop is expecting the printer to manage the colors, and the printer is expecting photoshop to manage the colors - and in the end neither is doing it. I think this is the problem.

Does that make sense?

James,

The best of the best in self printing hang out at Naturescapes.net in the appropriate category there.

Sorry I can't be more help, but I've all but given up on DIY printing.
