Author Strange magenta cast
Morton Klotz

I have been using PSP 9 with great success--until today. Suddenly my
pictures print with a strong magenta cast. The same pictures printed
from Picasa have no magenta cast and are very close to what I see on
screen. Any suggestions?

Since you can print from Picasa correctly - which probably
rules out a nearly-empty ink cartridge in your printer,
perhaps PSP 9 has gone south on you.

I assume you've closed and re-launched PSP without
success. Have you also re-started Windows? I would suggest
a complete shut-down with cold boot, rather than a just
re-start.

I'm also assuming that you didn't install any other
software and/or do any Windows updates which might have
affected only PSP. If no one elses comes up with an easy
fix, perhaps a call to Corel tech support on Monday would
help...

Thanks, but your suggestions had no effect. Guess I will have to
contact Corel.

Sounds like what happens when Color Management is applied twice to the
image, once by PSP and a second time by the printer driver. In PSP9, go
to File > Preferences > Color Management and untick "Enable Color
Management", and see if the print turns out right then.

Go into File > Preferences > Monitor Gamma and set everything
to 1.00. Go into File > Preferences > Color Management and
either switch it off or configure it correctly. When something
changes "suddenly" you should think back and consider what
was changed and what you did on your system between the time
you didn't have a problem and now. Only you know that.

Sure: Printer --> Trashcan --> Buy Canon replacement.

Thanks to Chris and others who gave me the correct solution to this
problem. I had forgotten that I had installed new drivers for my Epson
2200 printer. When I disabled color management in PSP9 my prints came
out looking right. Thanks again.

Sounds like PSP is still having a difficult time working with color
management!

No, but if you apply it twice, once with PSP and a second time with the
printer driver, the over correction causes a colour cast. Do it once,
with *either* PSP *or* the printer driver, and it works fine.

Tim, don't bother responding to this uni (john) moron.

he doesn't care at all for psp, the people posting here or anything else
(except his sucked-master "artist"). he is just trolling around.

Fine, right, Tim. The last person who tried color management with PSP,
after a week or so of struggling, right here in this very newsgroup,
said "I'll tinker with it a bit more. I'm sure it will work".

I do! Just waiting for Corel to hire some decent programmers, before I
buy it again.

We were talking about PSP, not your living condition.
