Photos printing with an ORANGE tint?

Thanks everyone for all your responses, I greatly appreciate the help!

This seems like quite a bit of work and I don't even understand it all...
I just do this as a hobby and it's starting to become more of a chore unfortunately =(

Perhaps I will just call Canon and see if they are aware of anything.

Thanks again!

I can't read the exif data of the sample pic. It would be nice to know what the white balance is set at.

Without a proper calibration it is common to see significant color differences between monitors and prints.

Make sure you aren't having an improper color space switch between software. For raw it doesn't matter, but once you convert to anything else it's important to maintain the same color space or make the proper conversion. Just make sure everything is set to sRGB for now.

Take your files to a full service lab, where you can speak with a lab tech that knows what they are doing, and have them print each file twice: once with corrections and once without. Can they correct the orange tint? How much did they have to adjust it? Do they have any suggestions?

When I first started using digital equipment my photos were often too yellow. So yellow the lab couldn't add enough blue to deal with it. I bought a proper calibration kit and began calibrating my monitors one a month. The problem was solved.

Tungsten lighting, and some other kinds of artificial lights, is orange. The midday sun is our standard for white light. If it is low in the sky it goes orange because the red end of the visual spectrum travels farther through the atmosphere than the blue end.

Joves, forgive me if I am being ignorant, but why would I need to calibrate MY printer if mine isn't doing the printing. Clients will receive digital copies of their pictures and printer themselves, not on my printer. I hardly print, just lately to test the orange issue...

I believe my camera is defaulted to use sRGB as is PSE8.

Thanks!

If you aren't doing the printing you just need to calibrate your monitor. You will need a color calibration device such as colormunki.com/

Have read all postings to this thread.

I too get this orange cast .. Monitor colors look great. Send to printer , orange cast.
Have followed steps to make Elements control color during printing, turning off printer color control.

Has anyone come up with a solution to this off color? Suggestions .. :please:

Just joined the forum today.

Thanks for any help .

have you run a nozzle check on the printer? Possible that one of the colors is not printing properly and its a printer problem not a computer/camera issue.... just a thought
