Hello,
I am quite the amateur when it comes to using Photoshop. In fact, I only use Photoshop Elements and I’m pretty new even at using this more modest program. My current problem is that when I print digital photos, particularly those involving skin tones, what I get from my HP 930c printer is never quite the same as what I see on my monitor. The finished printed photos seem most often to be lacking in reds and in saturation overall. So I go to the "enhance" menu and I add more red and increase saturation. What I end up with on the screen looks ghastly, but by overcompensating in this manner I can (usually, and with some trial and error) get a satisfactory printed version.
It would be preferable (much) if I could somehow adjust what I have on the screen to match what I am getting from the printer. I know that there is a way to do this, but I can’t seem to figure it out.
What feature(s) of Photoshop Elements should I be using? Thanks for any and all suggestions and advice.
