Hi–

I seem to have done something to my version of Photoshop 6 (on XP). When I print directly from Photoshop, all prints have a strong yellow cast. If I print the same file from another program (such as Illustrator, etc.), it prints fine (so it’s not a monitor calibration issue). Color mode is RGB, all the color settings are normal (Adobe RGB 1998).

I recently replaced my HP printer with a Canon MP810, and I still have the same problem with the new printer!

I’ve seen this question posted several times on the Web over the years (for Photoshop 6 or 7), but never an answer.

Thanks,

Liz

I generally point people to Ian Lyon’s web page for print setup problems. He shows two methods to set things up, both equally valid.

Curvemeister–

That did the trick. Under source, I had CMYK selected (SWOP…) instead of RGB.

That article was for Epson, but I found an excellent one for Canon printers at: <http://www.steves-digicams.com/techcorner/June_2005.html>

Thanks for the help!!
