ICC and Photoshop CS6

[JMugs]

Ok New thread as I will work in photoshop as that appears to be most peoples favoured tool. Also note the problem is not as extreme in photoshop as in corel.

New profile done on monitor, nozzle check perfect, profile printer.

Problem is
Colour cast on prints is greenish. Bricks behind peoples head should be grey/slightly reddish, but they are coming out grey/slightly greenish.

Followed this link to a conde video frame by frame. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUj0w56zu6s.

Anything obviously adrift with it?

This is relevant.....Been sidetracked a little as I need to get my head around photoshop...main client has insisted! Which brought me to softproofing, and how good is that!
OK that is as far as the relevance goes at the moment as when I soft proof it shows the image darkening (correct) but it also shows the bricks as the correct reddish brown.

Onwards.

Softproofing is great, especially if you put gammut warning on too, I do a lot of work with soft proofing on all the time, is great been able to see in real time what the end result is going to be.
Interesting that the soft proof shows the bricks in the correct colour, but it doesn't print correctly.

In the video, I would say it would be better to use Adobe 1998 for the RGB colour space profile, and they don't talk you through the main colour management setup in Photoshop, which should look like this:

To get to this menu, with no files open, pull down the edit menu, and select colour settings (I think it's called)
Going through this menu with no files open sets this as your default colour settings, but good to save it as a preset as my photoshop seems to change it mind sometimes, so is something to keep an eye on.

Hi Pisq.
In the second thumbnail I assume under "Printer setup - print settings" you go in there and ensure that colour management is off, and the same details (DPI, paper type etc) are all as they were in the when you did the profile.

Roast Duck calling!

Sorry, didn't see your reply - but yes, you want photoshop set to manage colours, and select the ICC there, and in the printer driver settings, have colour management off and all other settings the same as when you printed that charts.

Important to have your general colour management (from the first image) set up properly so everything else is running consistently.

Hi Pisq.
Exactly what I have done. Hmm. Still no further forwards. It's been since I moved the printer, so coincident or not? When I get time I might uninstall the printer and icc software, re-instal and see what happens then. Or thinking outload here...print an image through the printer as if not sublimation and see if I still get a green colour cast.

If you've reprofiled after moving the printer, then i don't see what difference it will make now, unless it has settled down some more now since the move, and needs another reprofile?

Hi Pisq
I agree, clutching at straws really. Just hoping the printer isn't defunct.

If your nozzle checks are still fine then I can't see why the printer would have a problem.
What's it like with my ICC?

Hi Pisq.
When I had a virus problem I lost your profile, and didn't have it backed up. So no idea. But good point. If I could be so bold as to ask you to send it again, I could try that and see if it does or doesn't have a green cast.
