Adobe Photoshop/printing a photograph from my computer in color

Advertisement


Question
I put photographs from my camera on my dellinspiron 530 computer that has adobe photoshop elements 5.0. My computer also has adobe premiere elements 3.0. I tried printing the picture in color . The picture came out in black and yellow only. I tried adjusting the color intensity but the picture still came back the same way. I have an HP officejet 7410  all in one printer. I know the printer is capable of printing color pictures because I have printed  colored photos by using the memory card and putting the meory card into the slot on the printer. I want to make the photos from the computer because I can adjust the photo with the adobe features. Thank you so much for your help.

Answer
Hi Ira,
If you are able to view a full colored image in photoshop then it should print full colored.
And again if the printer is working fine by printing all colors when using memory card, then there should be no problem with the printer too..

How ever if its printing black and yellow only, that means, of the four colors CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). Its reading only Y & K colors, please check your printing preferences and see for color options too.
