Are you sure your photo's color space is the same as the printer??? But it shouldn't matter if pse is mannaging colors. There may be several places where in printer preferences where you have to tell the printer to let pse manage color. I had an Hp B9100(?) and the printer managed the colors better than pse7. If you shoot in AdobeRGB the printer has to be in AdobeRGB.
Elements Village is a good source for information.

Since we are on the subject of printers. I am about ready to pull my hair out. Everything I print from Elements10 comes out looking like the color of mud.
Print the same thing from Picassa...prints okay but without the depth I know I can get from printing from Elements10.
Fine tuning as to color and saturation is best done in Elements, now I have this wonderfully edited foto, on the screen, that prints out mud brown. Have tried to change the settings, gone back to defaults, nothing works. All I am doing is wasting photo paper and very expensive ink.
If anyone can help...would really be appreciated.

Make sure your printer isn't managing the color that elements 10 does it. Also profile your monitor I use color monki display.
My camera has 3 different aspect ratios to pick from.I choose 3:2.
There are various ways to resize an image. In the editor under image go to resize image. Resize with the crop tool.Click on the crop tool and the options bar states hieght and with, fill in what you want. Click on the double arrows to change between portrait and landscape. Lastly the print dialog asks what size you want the image. You need the correct aspect ratio.
I would advise you to go to Barnes and Noble and look at book about PSE10 and get one as a referance. I've been using PSE for many years and each time I upgrade, Iget a new book.
kolarivision has tutorials on infrared which include photoshop action which can be installed in elements 10. There is an actionplayer in pse 10's guided edit section where their action can be used. A good book to get is by Deborah Sandidge Infrared Workshop. She is wonderful, I took her course. If you get her book and have questions, she'll answer them. Good Luck.

I use colormonki display to calibrate my macbook pro. Their instructions are easy and their tech support is wonderful.
I shoot IR with a converted camera. If you're shooting raw with Nikon or Cannon use their processing software for converting raw to tiff. Adobe processor doesn't read the colors right. Always do a custom white balance. If shooting JPEG use elements 10. See the lifepixel website for tutorials. You'll need levels and contrast.
I love IR. I know shoot more IR than color.
Good Luck
If you buy from B&H you can return it within 30 days.
Sigma kept wanting me tokeepreturing an my 18-50mm f2.8 lens for repair. The first time it was 2 months old. It refused to focus-kept hunting. They fixed it and a month later-same thing. I wanted a new lens no repair 2 vacations,I couldn't use the lens.
I was put in contact with the pesident of sigma and 2 weeks after I returned the broken lens,I had a new one.
All my DSLR's D70, D80, and D300 have worked perfectly.
My experience with Cannon repair was not good, my friends was wonderful. I think it's the rep. you're dealing with.
Write to someone high up at Nikon and tell them the story.I was the media specialist at a schooland sent a cannon P&S for repair under warrentee which was fixed then the same problem happened when it wasn't under warrentte and cannon woul do nothing.
The Dell U2410 is recommended by Shutterbug and other on line photo sources,
I agree first try proshow gold then you can move on you producer. Their tech support is great. Unfortunately it's not for Mac.
ppsop is Bryan Peterson's school of photography. Search for discount coupons. I took a better photo course with Deb Sandidge and the interaction was great and questions were ans very promptly.
CC_EBbets must read Shutterbug must read Shutterbug that's what their tech person advises people to buy. I switched to a Mabook Pro. I love it. Eventually I'll get a monitor for it.
Dump the card. Why take a chance on damaging your camera?? I always use Lexar. They have a lifetime warrantee and you can download their their rescue program.
As I stated I really like PSE, but I got photoshop because it has the channel mixer. What I have been told is that for both canon and nikon their raw converters read their raw files better than adobe's converter. I switched to using NX2 for converting NEF files because adobe couldn't read the white balance for an infrared file.
I have elements 10 and NX2. NX2 interprets Nikon NEF better than Adobe. If you shoot infrared it's critical to use NX2.
