I must have messed something up in Photoshop?:dunno
When I print using ps cs the colors come out all wrong ..way wrong:cry
If I use Windows XP to print the photo it's colors are great what's going on here?

I am using Windows XP
Photoshop CS
In ps cs I am using Adobe RGB(1998)
Under View-Proof Setup-Working CMYK is checked

Under Edit-Color Settings Here's what I have

Working Spaces
RGB: Adobe RGB(1998)
CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP)V2
Gray: Dot Gain 20%
Spot: Gain 20%

Color Management Policies
RGB: Preserve Embedded Policies
CMYK: Off
Gray: Off

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks
Fred

What printer?

I'm guessing that you are not turning off the printers color processing.

Fred,Im not at my computers that have PS,but off the top of my head.
Dont use CMYK or Adobe RGB (1998)
Try srgb in place for both.
