I’d appreciate a steer if anyone can help. I started with Photoshop Elements about 6 months back and got some good prints. I thought I’d try Photoshop CS, and the prints suddenly emerged with a distinct green colour cast (whether I printed from within Elements or from CS). I’ve uninstalled CS, but the colour cast is still there on using elements. The images are fine on the screen, it’s only when printed that I have the problem, and Photoshop is the only program that has this effect, so I don’t think it’s to do with the printer.

Is it possible that CS has changed a setting, affecting elements as well? If so, any ideas how to get out of it?

If it’s at all relevant I’m working on a Toshiba laptop and printing with an HP photosmart. I haven’t consciously changed any settings since it was all working properly!

Charlie,

It sounds like a calibration issue, have a look at

Not a fan of Elements so can’t comment on why the print colour changed when you installed CS.
