jamespjones Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hi,<br><p>I'm running out to a client meeting but I want to post this for everyone who may be having a similar problem. Ihave spent some time this morning trying to figure out why my prints from CS4 just don't look like the screen. For a while I though it was me; then the profile, the printer gamut, and now I'm back to me. Long story shortcheck out:</p><p><a href="http://www.photographyri.com/index.php">Photography RI</a> </p><p>where I just posted the results of myprinting problems. If you are having problems printing in CS4, this may help. It isn't just you. </p><br>James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbocks Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 James, thanks for posting this info. I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4 and am also having printing problems- things that printed great in CS2 print too dark in CS4. -Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertChura Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Count me in too! I just installed my printer and CS4 last night and noticed it was off a little also,but too late to worry about it. Glad to hear it wasn't my fault and I won't have to spend all night tonight trying to fix it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_mounier Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I was curious about this bug in CS4 because I want to upgrade too, but not if there are problems. Check this thread out at the Adobe forums. You may have to register. http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?14@@.59b6cbeb/16 Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamespjones Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 I glanced over the thread; not sure I understand the particulars of the problem described in that forum. My epson print dialogue doesn't auto default to no color management - I have to select it each time I print - which I do. The concept of double profiling is intriguing. For what its worth: I am running OSX 10.4.11 on a intel based Mac. James Photography RI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_mounier Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yes, I had to read quite a few of the threads before I thought I understood. Apparently it's not a problem with OS 10.4.11, so disregard the Adobe forum thread. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_alosi Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hello All, I have installed CS4 on my G5 Tower running 10.5.5. I had custom profiles made for my Epson printer. I can print perfectly in CS3 but not in CS4, using the exact same settings. The thread at Adobe mentioned above has some interesting information about a bug in Lightroom that has the same symptoms. Anyway, I have to print from CS3 until I figure this out. I would like to know of similar problems and or solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_steele4 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I am having an ongoing dialog with Adobe about this problem in PSCS4 and OSX 10.5.5. Images that printed perfectly out of CS3 with PS managing the color and Epson driver CM turned off print dark and muddy. It's obvious that the profile is being applied twice. They are having be go through a ridiculous number of test installations, none of which correct the problem. Fortunately I can print out of CS3 and LR 2.1. I have PSCS4 installed on both an Intel-based Mac and a PowerPC based Mac. It is only the PowerPc Mac that is having the problem. The only thing that works at the moment with CS4 on the PowerPc Mac is to convert the image to the printer profile, have the Epson driver do the color management, not PS. Stay tuned. If Adobe solves the problem I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_sonneman Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 <p>Same problem here, I need to print a test page to get a custom profile for my Epson R1800. On my new Intel Pro Mac with CS4 it comes out almost black. When printed with my G4 Titanium LapTop with the same OS10.5.6 but CS2. it's correct. It seams most of my prints seamed a stop of two dark especially on the lower end and that's why I was getting the profile made. Something seriously wrong with CS4 not to mention how unstable it is,constantly crashing. Have turned off OpenGL with some improvement.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny_chau Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 <p>I used more than one printer, and with CS4, I've learned that I have to manually select the printer I'm using to default printer from System Preference before CS4 respond to correct colour settings.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
