Ok, I’ve been working with PS about a year now. It works great and I love it. I have been trying to train my wife on using Elements. (Less confusing, less complex, yadda, yadda, yadda) Now here is where it gets interesting. I brought up one of her pictures under Elements, made sure the color balance and levels were good, did some work, saved it as PSD, and printed. Uck! bad green cast. Went to photoshop, opened the same picture, printed it and… beautiful! I set the Elements color management to full and did not use the driver color management. My entire setup is carefully calabrated using Monaco Optix system. What am I missing here? Clearly Elements and PS are using different print engines or different configurations. Could someone give me a pointer here?

Bill,
Same color engine under the hood. I can only suggest that your Print Preview settings are wrong. If you’re setting "no color adjustment" in the driver, the you need to be printing to a media profile under Print Preview , Output space profile. Maybe you can see something at < http://www.computer-darkroom.com/ps7_print/ps7_print_mac_2.h tm> .
