I have a problem that I rarely encounter, but it’s bugging me now, so I thought I’d ask if anyone else has a solution. I have created an image in Photoshop and have 3 layers (2 image layers and one HUE-SATURATION Adjustment Layer). After getting the color altered the way I want, I flatten the image and (on screen) the color goes dead.

I have tried saving the file with the layers intact and then printing it, but it prints with the dead color too. I’m stumped. We print on Epson 9800 printers and can print some really vivid colors . . . yet this is happening to this one digital file.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are you viewing the image at 100%?

What is the source of the image? If a scan, what’s the original?

I’ll tell what works for me, cuz I encountered the same thing. Instead of flattening the image, I take the layer just above my background image and merge it down. Or I will "merge visible" instead of "flattening" the image.
