colour balancing

[Ben West]

I am having a problem with the output to the printer. I am using an Epson photo printer and if I send it a print job that is from the web there is no problem with the colour but when sending it from Photo Elements it is very magenda. I add a lot of green to it and then it looks aright (but it is guess work and a pain). Is there anyway of correcting or balancing the printer to the monitor image generated by Elements?

I am new to this whole thing but trying to learn fast.

Hi and Welcome to the Forum,

I'm very much the newbie myself, but similar problems as yours brought me here initially.

Go to this topic where my problem was discussed and look in particular for replys by Carbone which I'm sure will help; it sure did for me. http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4735&highlight=

You can also search this forum (and the web) for "color management" and find a wealth of information.

Others much more knowledgeable will be along with advice as well I'm sure so let us know how you are making out .... you've come to the right place for help!
